My truck seat

Well I was driving to work this morning and I had a realization. I noticed again that I was not very comfortable while driving, I have noticed it in the recent past but since I have not driven any real long distances I did not pay it much attention. Well today while taking the journey to our office in Howell It dawned on me. My truck seat was adjusted to fit a much fatter MEchele. I realized that by losing the weight that I am now sitting too far back and not sitting as high up as I was before. The Fat in my butt must have decreased enough to make the difference.. I actually had to move the seat forward to make the adjustments.

It continues to amaze me at how much being overweight effects the everyday things in life. The above is just one thing that you don't really think about. I have also noticed some other little things such as my hearing aids. I have noticed that they are loser inside my ears and tend to come out of my ears much easier.. Who would have thought that you could have too much fat inside your ears and that my feet are actually not as wide as they were before. I hope that as time goes on will continue to be amazed by the changes that happen.

Did everyone have a great weekend? Mine was pretty uneventful, Had the garage sale for a couple of days and then picked up a supply of hay for my horses. That is a work out in itself loading and unloading 90 bales of hay in the hot, humid weather. But the fact that I could even do it was a great thing because 90 lbs ago me, climbing around on a stack of hay was not something that could be done easily or gracefully..lol

I also went out yesterday for a nice dinner at a favorite place of mine.. A Japanese Steakhouse, it is the first time I have been there since my surgery.. I sat there watching them make all the foods on the grill in front of us and reflected back to the past times that I have been there. I remembered that I used to think that they were not making enough food to eat and that I was always scared that I would not get enough. Now after the surgery I was sitting there thinking Holy Crap! that is allot of food. I came home with my take out box filled to the top and I am sure I will be able to get another 4 meals out of it, before surgery I would eat every bite while there and not have any left overs.

Well I guess that is all for now, I got a ton of work to do.. Talk to you soon.

You are awesome! Way to make this a lifestyle change. Many kudos to you!

Your ears (along with your nose) continue to grow until your death. For that reason, ear molds for most types of hearing aids need to be replaced every 6 months! This way you don't get the feedback that can occur, or have your hearing aids just fall out! lol. But in this case, it really does sound like you're losing weight there too. Amazing, isn't it? Remember when HealthyChelle's glasses started feeling big after losing weight? Apparently, the weight goes everywhere! lol.

Catching up on the last couple weeks on your blog. You're doing a fantastic job! Keep it up! 100 pounds lost is just around the corner!
