Surviving ... just!

OK so I am now almost 3 days into my Stop Drinking Farmers Union Iced Coffee Campaign :( Withdrawals are a b*tch! I have been headachey most of today and am experiencing trouble sleeping at night. Isn't it amazing the impact mere coffee, milk and sugar can have on your body.

I am surviving though so that's a bonus. I have had a couple of regular coffees to ease the headaches but no milky ones! A girl can't give up everything ;)

I have noticed that this week Portia is loosening up. That is not a bad thing but the food choices I have been making need to improve. The scale is still bouncing... it's kind of doing my head in still, so I am choosing not to dwell on it it too much.

I have officially gone down a size in clothing!! YAY! I have come to the realisation that my clothes were so tight and uncomfortable on me before surgery that I was squeezing myself into my clothes and that realistically I have actually lost 2 sizes!! I didn't take measurement until 2 weeks ago so I don't have any statistical data but I know it's true so that helps me along when the scale isn't my friend.

I am very interested to see what the scale says after a week without Iced Coffee. I am expecting a decent result but am scared to actually see the result - just incase it doesn't meet my expectations.

Life in general - I am feeling very overwhelmed at the moment. Not one thing in particular, but just a mish-mash of everything combined. I just think I need to take a step back and look at the big picture and not sweat the small stuff.

Apart from everything going on in my life - I am still reading (if not commenting) on all of your inspirational blogs and am taking mental notes of all your wonderful words of wisdom and experience!

TGIF!

  1. That's funny about clothes. I was up to a size 18. I was surprised when I tried on all of my capris a few weeks ago. I thought that they would be swimming on me. Well they were loose, but not too bad. In all reality I was shoved into an 18 and probably should have gone up a size. Now I'm shoved into a 14. I don't care! It's a good pain!
