My Journey

And it’s a new low in a good way. This morning, I weighed in at 177.3, which is the least I’ve weighed in 20 years. More than 20 years actually.

These days I’m thinking a lot about relativity. I currently think of myself as a normal size. But to someone else, do I look like I need to lose weight? It’s interesting.

I don’t have any answers to this, but I can say I feel as close to normal as I have felt in many years. I have noticed that I have a new standard for myself with regards to moving my body. I do something every day. Even if that something is a short walk, it’s something and it counts.

Today is a big day for me: I am giving a solo piano concert this afternoon, the first solo recital in 6 years. I am prepared, excited, and a little nervy. That’s natural….

I’m hoping the next time I post here I will be at my goal (175). Still not sure if that’s where I want to be but I’ll try it out for a while and see how I feel.

I’m pretty clear on what it will take to maintain. I still will need to weigh consistently so I know where I am. I believe I’ll be able to have a little bit more food–but not a *lot* more–in order to maintain. It’s a whole new journey!
