Maintenance Calorie Trajectory ---> Week 32 ---> 8 month Maintenance Anniversary
I didn't post last week. Unfortunately, I had to make the difficult decision of going to the emergency vet clinic to put down a dear friend and little buddy of 17 years, named Gino. It's been a challenging and emotional week and I am still adjusting, but am reminded often that at least he is no longer suffering and at peace.
I have hit the 8 month anniversary mark in weight maintenance and am celebrating a few other milestones. Tank tops were always out of the question most of this girl's life. I was always self conscious of my arms and just never felt I had the figure to wear one.
A month or so ago, my mother convinced me to purchase a few. She genuinely felt I needed to put that old story aside and rock a dang tank top! Can, I just say I LOVE IT!
I have a faulty thermostat due to the MS and where one of the lesions in my brain is located. As a result, I can heat up at the drop of a pin and of course the minute I heat up, the muscles in my legs become stiff and the numbness increases. These tops keep me so cool and for the first time in my whole life, I feel genuinely comfortable wearing one.
It's a definite "why" to keep going.
I'm still maintaining between 135-137 lbs, which is absolutely okay. Mama took some pics of me with the cannon today so I put on make up. The HSM community is going to feature me in one of their monthly newsletters, but I couldn't help but catch a selfie of today's body in the tank top. It feels so good when that breeze hits these shoulders. I can't believe I waited so long to wear one.
Anyhow, I wish you all a blessed and beautiful week. Until next weekend - take care and be kind to yourselves
