Great Flappin' Forearms and more (long)

Well the other day I was driving down the road (radio crankin' out county tunes at almost full volume), I was singing along with the radio and thinking that generally (this week anyway!) that life is purty good. The weather was nice, just cool enough to not need the A/C and have the window down to blow in what's left of my hair. (no hair loss yet, I just cut it all off!) Any how I happened to glance in my side mirror and something kind of fluttering caught my eye.... it was my forearm! It was just flapping away happily and looked so rediculous that rather than cry I burst out laughing. I'm sure that the lady in the car traveling beside me thought I was a total loon but do you think I cared? Nope not one iota! I can't wear my wedding bands anymore. I was playing with my daughter, you know the patty cake thing that pre-teens seem to love, and it flew off. Took almost an hour to find it and then it was under the chair I was sitting in! My shoes are too big. I feel like I'm wearing clown shoes but don't really want to buy new ones because well I might need new ones after that for another smaller size. I did buy new ones and went cheap figuring I might need to buy smaller yet and they lasted two weeks before the sides blew out.... that could get expensive! I was walking through the yard the other day. I caught something out of the corner of my eye and since my hands were full I just figured I'd dropped something. It was my foot. I didn't usta be able to see my feet, not even when I walked.... yep I 'dropped' my foot! I laughed all the way to the car! This morning I was looking at a ring that I bought eons ago and had to stop wearing because it was too small. I miss wearing my wedding band and so I thought that it could be a substitute at least for a bit..... not the dern thin' fell right off! Well that's about all the chatty news I have for now... love and hugs, Gayle

LOL he was sitting next to me at church, I wore a sleeveless top and he was patting my arm to get my attention and says OF course in that "i am trying to whisper cause I know we are at church" type of LOUD voice..."Momma what happened to your arm?? NOthing Bj shh... BUT MOMMA its so long! got a few chuckles from teh ladies around me... geesh...TOOFUNNY! I love that the tiny muscle is showing a little now tho! LOVE those hand weights... ~Nic 291/228/137?

LOL! I love the foot story! You're doing great. I am (I think) less than 5 lbs away from not being able to wear my wedding rings anymore either! My plan is to wear them on my right hand (it's slightly larger****il they start falling off of that hand too. Then I'll put them away until my weight levels off. Next, it will be off to the jeweler to get them resized! This is so exciting!
