Sooo

I meant to post last night but the tiredz got the best of me. Still trying to catch up from Tuesday I guess!

So I went bra shopping today. Since I weaned girlie I've got down umm, several cup sizes. From a I to a DDD. No really, I did. When I was back in school right after I had her (Her DOB is 5/29/08 and this was 8/08) I had a guy say he couldn't see someone because "your big ole boobs are in the way - how do you even WALK with those things????" well...the right foot left foot method seems to work pretty well... but oh balance? That's sheer luck.
It was liberating to NOT be that far into the alphabet. 44DDD. Not a small bust mind you, but not an I cup. Not a 46I to be exact. One band size and about 38943 cup sizes in 2 years?? Really? Know why? Cause my butt would NOT diet while nursing. I had my spinal fusion when she was 8m so there went exercise. I started feeling like I could do some work outs even though the pain was horrendous and BAM, spinal stenosis surgery at 15m. That added even more pain and I had got my AFO leg braces shortly before that so that I could walk without falling flat on my face because the surgery and the nerve damage left me with horrible foot drop. So the AFOs rock and all, except that they get sweaty and leave bruises/blisters if I do exercise or hell, walk too far. Yes, goods and bads. Balances. I need new AFOs though because these just aren't cuttin it. The bottom is too short and instead of recasting and starting over, the Dr decided to just work with it. So he made the other one too short too - so now where they end causes really extreme pain in my feet (and I have soo little feeling in my feet so it has to be really bad for it to register) and my feet cramp up and my ankles sort of lock. Its a bad thing. I've been complaining about it since I got the first brace. I'm going to call and make an appointment for an adjustment and tell him that now that I'm more able to be active, these damn things just are NOT gonna work. I can't slide by with it! I need a new pair casts asap, these can be my emergency pair but I can NOT wear them on a regular basis. Bad thing is, they're $1500 to make (or to bill to the insurance i should say) so he's gonna have to take that loss or tell me how to go about getting my insurance to pay for another pair. They have to replace them eventually, right?

Oh so dietwise I've been truckin along. Some days have a higher intake than others, but I'm staying between 1800 and 1600 on most days, a few fall at 1500 or 1900 ranges but ya know, averages and all, I'm stayin in the 1600-1800 range. I'm diggin it. I don't set a limit, I just write it down if I eat it and then I add it as I go. There are still no goals in mind, except to lose weight and feel better. I hope I can make that happen. Try before you cry. That's what manboy says.

God save me tomorrow, my mom promised my son I'd make him a shake!!! He got one after dinner (we went to Steak and Shake) and he spilled it in the car. I quickly gave him mine (That I was already regretting even though it was peach and a small and I hadn't had but a few sips) but my mom started going on and on and on about how he doesn't LIKE peaches (which was news to him) and how he REALLY wanted the one he had. So to make HER feel better, I have to break in our new blender and make him a shake. A mint cookies and cream shake at that. I have to buy a pint of cookies and cream and a pint of mint chocolate chip. Shoot me now. Really. At least the girl is an icecream hound so she can make the rest of it disappear.
