So very close!

I'm so close to -40 pounds I can feel it! Once again I'm fighting a cold, which I was hoping would not happen as much as it has in the past. Actually, I think it is more my asthma rearing its ugly head, so I have been using my albuterol again, at least twice a day. The other negative side effect of this cough is that sometimes I get to coughing so much, my port hurts. It feels like the muscle is pulling and it burns like crazy! Another day or two of this and I'll email my doctor to see if she has any extra strength super powered cough medicine I can take at night. I was up at 3am today coughing up a lung. Not fun for me, and also for Steve, who has to get up at 5am each day. I even bought a new humidifier last night, which was working fabulously, but apparently not helping much.

I actually went shopping over the weekend! yay! I got a couple pair of slacks for work, size 18, which is only a size below what I was wearing, so I'm a little disappointed, however one pair I wore yesterday is already big! So I guess I could venture into size 16s in some styles, but I'll wait. No sense in feeling like a sausage quite yet! hehehe And I can't wear things that are too tight at the waist because it presses on my port and hurts, so I'll just ease on down the sizes as I'm supposed to. Besides, sizes are so freakin' wierd! I have 18s at home that I can't fit into yet, and then I go buy three pair and one fits great, the other is a bit large, and I haven't tried the other pair on yet. So I'm not putting much stock in sizes at this point, I just feel good knowing I'm headed down the weight loss path, and I'm loving it! Now to get rid of this cough!
