I have a social event to go to in a few days, so I finally bought a new pair of party shoes. The last pair of high heel shoes I have is more than 20 years old--they're still in good condition since I wear them so infrequently. I just can't find them, so I decided to get a new pair. I'm currently wearing them over a pair of red wool socks to break them in. The following day after the social event is a work day, and I want to minimize the inevitable blisters.
I don't usually wear high heels as gracefulness is not one of my strong suits. That, and wearing high heels puts me into the "rather tall female" category. I also don't usually wear dresses but I will be that day, and I am now debating whether to get some Dermablend to conceal the leg ink. I'm not ashamed of my ink, but I also don't want to commit a social faux-pas.
24 pounds down. Some of our long-term patients have commented that I've been losing weight.
I don't really see it, though. I mean, I can tell from the fit of my clothing that there's less of me. In fact, I had to break down and order some smaller scrub pants, since a lot of the ones I own were unable to be cinched tight enough at the waist (I'm all about the drawstring) to prevent them from dragging on the floor. But I don't look at myself and say, "you know what, I do look thinner!" I guess because I look at my face and body every single day so I'm not noticing the subtle changes.
Anyhow, this loss means I'll have 22 pounds to go before I hit my minimum ideal weight--27 until I hit my maximum. 145-150 looks good on me; any less, and I start to look ill.
I'm hoping to lose the rest, or at least most of it, before the eye surgery in August...yes, a date has been set. Late August. I have already informed my manager that I will be having some minor surgery (didn't say for what) and will be off work for up to 10 days. I asked if I should put in for time off now, or just wait and see. No response yet and it's been a couple of weeks...I think I need to remind them that I will be off for surgery starting on that day regardless of what they say.
