Looked down my body, and for the first time in about ten years could not see my belly cause my boobs were in the way. Used to be my belly stuck out further than my boobs.
Finally got my new driver's license in the mail! Face gains abound! Lost a lot of chin, a lot of eyebrow, and a lot of hair, lol. Old one is on the left, from about 4-5 years ago.
I'm done with physical therapy and took my exercise up a notch today by jogging for 30 minutes - the 1st time since the drunk driver totalled my car on the freeway at 90mph against the cement center divider back in September.
Bonus from jog, I turned a shade tanner as I easily tan so losing my winter color - legs not so pale.
I know... big whoop only 30 minutes... but this is also despite stupid asthma and finally recovered from injury.
I also gave away my secret stash of candy bars that I keep for my teacher's assistant but being honest, they really half end up in me from stress eating.
Not where I want to be yet, but I can get into my kilt and look pretty okay in it.
Did you get it online or have it made? My husband has a lot of Swedish and Scottish and he wants a kilt SO bad. We go to a lot of heavy metal shows and he's always insanely jealous of the men we see there rocking them.
I declined the regional treat for Mardi Gras offered at the office today. In Sweden it’s traditionally a large cardamom bun with almond paste and whipped cream. I decided the store-bought kind isn’t tasty enough and passed. Maybe I’ll have a mini home-made one at my parents’ house at a later date, maybe not.

You look great in them - I have a soft spot for men in kilts. But most of all well done!
*sigh* me too - the soft spot for men in kilts, that is. Not to mention the blousey, laced shirts and tunics that usually go with them.......lol
I mentioned it in one of my groups, but I had a nice NSV yesterday evening: I saw a dress in the store that I liked, and thought, since there was a sale, that I'd be daring and try on the 22W. Except I ended up needing to go back and get the 20W because the 22W was too baggy in the front! The 20W was just a bit snugger than I'd usually wear, but still looked good. This is for someone who started out in a 30W! Of course, I know that it was the style of dress, but it was still nice!
The day I get into an 18W will be huge for me - that size was always my pipe dream, something that I was wistful about but never thought possible - its a bit mind numbing to realize that I'm actually getting pretty close to that goal.
I went to Club Fitness today, where they have a state-of-the-art InBody270 Body Analysis machine. I was gauged via 4-point electrostatic resistance tests to have, , , wait for it, , , SEVENTEEN PERCENT BODYFAT, , , 17% !!! That and although my BMI is 28.1, (overweight) my muscle mass percentage is 124% of normal.
Sometimes I joke about how when I flex my arm muscles they droop and make a sad trombone noise like in cartoons. You know.
Usually my husband feels my arm and says I am not that bad, but yesterday he grabbed my arm and interrupted himself to say, "actually wow, your arms are like steel."
I have been working hard at the gym so it's nice it seems to be paying off even a little.
I just posted this on my feed. I had to have my mammogram yesterday and actually fit in a small gown! I commented to the technician about it and she asked how much weight I'd lost from my last one. When I told her she said the radiologist would think there's a mix-up comparing to my old films. Kind of sad since it's the one place I wish hadn't changed but I thought it was funny!

Thank you! I got lucky with the watermark this time, too, lol. The Mackinac Bridge isn't poking me in the forehead.

My daughter used to work for them and I have a few items from them.
I appreciate a man in a kilt. You wear that VERY well.

Some kid runs up to me and says
"Hey, you're pretty jacked for a old guy"
lol... thanks little dude, I'll take it
You're pretty jacked for a regular guy.
That's great!!
