Day 133: 20 Years Ago

Exactly twenty years ago, I underwent my first surgery.  "Underwent" sounds wrong, but it's not -- I checked.  I was eight years old, in third grade, and had my tonsils and adenoids removed in the hospital on Bergstrom Air Force Base, which is now gone, as the area is Austin-Bergstrom Airport.

Every time I sit down, Eis whines.  She's been tired, but refuses to go to sleep.  She's not going to miss anything except me sleeping, too!  I read for an hour and twenty minutes and had to take a break from sitting on the floor.  My back was killing me.

I hate having her sleep in the swing. I try to not swing her in it, since I don't want her to have to rely on movement to fall asleep, but that's never going to happen.  Since I brought her home, she would only rarely fall asleep when still.  Before we got the swing, it was me having to hold her and move around because sitting and rocking was not sufficient.

This girl is murder on my spine.

I realized today that I would lose weight much faster if I taught Zumba more often.  I burn so many more calories, plus I'm working my entire body, whereas I don't work my upper body in Sabrina's class.  She doesn't do moves to target the arms and upper back...  I'll just have to make the routines I get to do, really count!

Today, Eisley got to FaceTime with her grandma and Aunt Jamie in Maui.  Jamie loved seeing Eis.  She's going to find the bikini she had specially made for her and send it home with my mom.  She's also going to give me a bikini, which is good, since what good is having a bikini designing and selling sister if I don't get at least one suit! I just don't know what size top to get... I obviously won't wear it until next summer, but I don't know what size my boobs will be... Will they shrink back down to a big B/small C or will they be a big C?  I know they won't stay Ds -- thank goodness!  I think these larger boobs make me feel larger overall.

Fifteen more pounds until I'm at my target weight.  I won't aim for where I was before because I don't think that'll ever happen, but if I can get below 130, then I'll be pleased. Shoot, if I can get below 140, I'll feel like I'm making progress!
