191, here I am. Things are looking up and I've still got three days left before the fitting. I've been trying to work out and eat light and healthy the last few days. Since I had my wisdom teeth out I've already been eating really light because of a) the pills for pain and swelling sort of upset my stomach and make it hard to really eat anything heavy or rich, and b) I can only eat soft foods anyway. So, there has been a lot of soup and smoothies going on, which are very low calorie without using dairy or meat products.
I've really been enjoying smoothies a lot because it's a nice way to combine lots of different fruits, getting lots of vitamins, and condensing them down to something a little more handy for the day. I can combine two apples, half a pineapple, a banana, and some strawberries all in the blender and make a smoothie for lunch that fits in a 1 liter mug. Otherwise, I'd have to bring all of those things together and spend 30 minutes eating it. Not that I can't spare 30 minutes, but on a day like today, I'm substitute teaching up at a vocational school in town, and it's just easier to munch all day rather than eat at the lunch break. You're walking around helping the students out with their projects, and you're on your feet for 6 hours - it gets tiring.
When I get my tux fitting I'm going to see if they had my very first measurements, which I got in March or February before I was really doing the vegan thing really seriously. Regardless, I'm excited to at least see how far I've come since the last measuring. As far as I can remember, I've lost about 18 pounds since then, which is significant! I'll be circling around 190 by Thursday and that makes me very proud. I'm really going to try to get down to 180 by my wedding, which is in EIGHTEEN DAYS. It's crazy! I feel like I just proposed the other day but it's been 8 or 9 months.
More soon!
