5 pound loss!

Hi All,

I'm better this month.  I got some help at work.  Less stress, yay!  I lost 5 pounds, finally.  I have been eating higher carbs than usual, but I feel balanced.  I am still in full ovarian shut down/menopause since my hysterectomy and still on the HRT patch.  The Climara patch and taking DHEA has been a life saver.  My energy level is higher and I'm happy and grateful for my life.

I feel like a 12 year old girl! 

I am trimming up and feeling sexy and sassy.  My motto this year is, "Don't grow up, it's a trap."  It is really the theme of my life.  I guess it's because I was the oldest of the kids in my family, and dealt with many grown-up serious things as a child.  I feel like I am making up for it now in the last half of my life.  Joy, happiness, silliness and hard work and play are what I'm about now.  

I have been looking on Match.com occasionally, and all I see are old geezers in my age range.  It's weird and kinda scary.  How old am I?  I know sexy guys who look old, but are fun and young at heart.  All of them are married a long time, lonely as hell, safe and secure and stuck in a sad purgatory.  I won't date another woman's man.  I want one of my own, who can love me without stifling my independent spirit and can give me room to breath.  Is that even possible?  Are all the good ones taken?  I sure hope not.  I have so much love and affection to give someone.

I'm having a total blast restoring my VW Leopard Lair 1973 T2 Camper Bus.  I bought a heavy duty sewing machine and am learning how to make some cool stuff. I have some events happening this year.  It feels good to be back on a creative track again.  I miss singing and am still looking for a jazz rhythm section for my new jazz music project.  I'm keeping busy and on track.  My weight loss journey has been slow, but steady.  I only weigh myself once a week.  I don't get obsessed about it anymore.  I know my body is changing and adjusting.

I feel beautiful, sexy, and happy.  I think that is what matters, but being at a healthy weight for my height is taking longer than I expected it would after VSG surgery.  I accept myself where I am at this moment, yet I know that the little things I do everyday with food, self care and movement, make the biggest difference in my body long term.

STAY TUNED FOR LESS OF ME!
