Just Wonderful

I feel just wonderful today!

I woke up a bit groggy at 7:30 and hit snooze until 8, but I still hit my goal of getting up earlier than I was. And I'm not too tired. A coffee will make me normal...I've been REALLY good about taking my vitamins and I can see the difference!
I also got on the scale and I lost another pound! I know that no one else noticed that I'd gained 15 pounds earlier in the year, but I sure did...I didn't fit into a lot of my clothes. I could only wear looser-fitting stuff and definitely not anything tailored. It just made me feel really lumpy and unsexy, and anyway I really like some of those clothes! I was also afraid that if I didn't check things, I'd gain more and wouldn't fit into ANY of my clothes, and on my budget there's no way I could afford a nice all-new wardrobe. Anyway I've lost 12 lbs (11.7 actually, but I'm not in weight watchers and I can round off!) now and EVERYTHING fits. I'm still 3 lbs away from my "goal," but I wont be overly choked if I stay this weight because ultimately, it wasn't -that- much of a numbers goal, it was a fitting goal and I hit it! I'll never fit into some of the stuff I had when I was 21, but I was 2 inches shorter then and still had my crazy-skinny teenage body. So I think I"ll go through some of that and see what I still like, and what of that is alterable into a bigger size, or into another piece of clothing (I think my green wool trousers that I LOVE have enough fabric for a skirt!)
Also, I had the most AMAZING bath last night. I was in there for over an hour just reading, listening to music and relaxing. I was so relaxed I managed to slip into a meditative state that borderlined on a spiritual experience. I don't let myself just chill out like that nearly enough. I spend too much time worrying about Uni and jobs and money etc, etc, etc.

It's SNOWING out! I really hate snow after about Christmas and I'm not only sick of it but also it's that grey, old snow that looks all gross and depressing, but this time of year when it's new and fresh, I love it. It's cold and I hate cold, but snow is SO much brighter than rain and I like light. Also it softens sounds and you get that quiet, "snowing" vibe going on.
