Is It Possible?

ragdoll13I think I'm starting to get better! The swelling behind my eyes is going down and they have stopped their copious watering. I think the swelling in my neck is reduced as well. I'm starting to get actual goo out of my nose instead of the constant dripping that plagued me all week. I'm still feeling a bit achy, but the fever seems to have stopped. Hooray!
My soft palette is still inflamed and damnably tender. I think I'll take tomorrow off as well to be sure of the cure. If I'm still feeling better, I'll tackle some of the housework that I feebly attempted and left mostly undone this weekend.
So, twenty pounds. Up until now the weight loss has not seemed real. When I look at myself in the mirror, I look the same as I always had. But twenty is a pretty big number. It's more than Loki. Granted, it's taken about two months, but apparently that's the right way to do it. 20 pounds is 27% of the way to my goal; it's darn close to losing ten percent of my original body weight. It's a significant improvement in my risk of future heart disease and adult-onset diabetes.
I won't be able to go to the store and stack up packs of ground beef anymore to show myself how much I've lost; the numbers are getting too big.
I expect to plateau quite soon, around thirty pounds. I should get a membership at the gym. I keep talking about it, but lately there have been a lot of other things to spend my money on.
Maybe next month.
