On the Road

This past week I was in Anaheim, California for a conference.  I made sure to pack my running gear and hit the gym almost every morning I was there.  I made sure to do that since I would be eating restaurant food most of the week.  I was nervous that I hadn't lost any weight while I was away but was pleasantly surprised to find I've lost another pound and a half.  I'm so close to being under 200 pounds.  That's my next milestone.  At my heaviest, before my surgery I was 283.  That was number on the scale the first time I saw Dr. Robinson.  Which means at this point, with my pre-surgery diet and post-surgery weight loss, I've lost over 80 pounds.  I'd like to lose another 25-30.  I'm comfortably wearing a size 16, but would love to get to a 12 and maintain that.  Another milestone?  I'm completely out of plus size clothing.  The remaining dresses and skirts I had that were plus size are just too big, so they've gone into the donate pile.  This has depleted my closet a bit and fortunately I found a few dresses on amazon (nice dresses too - Jones New York and Anne Klein) for $40 each.  Score!  So I feel more comfortable with my clothing options for work now.  One last milestone this week, although it's been coming on gradually and getting more noticeable, but I'm starting to see my collarbone again.  It's kind of a weird milestone, akin to a vanity milestone, but there you have it.
