Conversation with a friend from work who had been out and I hadn't seen in about 2 months...
Her- "People were talking about you..."
Me-"Who's talking shit about me?"
Her-"No they were saying how you were so tiny and shrinking."
Me-"Oh! LOL. I thought I was going to have to fight someone."

So that really happened. I was happy for the compliments, though I have apparently been the talk of my training group (the people I was promoted with). I know I have gotten a lot of compliments and comments about my weight loss. None of them know I had the VGS. Still not planning on telling any of them. I am not close with them like that.

On a sad note, my best pal at work had her last day yesterday. She is not quitting but she is moving back to Maryland to be with her husband. She will be working from home. She is also Italian so we have all our breaks/lunches together and speak Italian the whole time. We have been doing that since we started together in July of 2015. I am really going to miss her. Thank God for technology. Makes it easier to keep in touch.

I just squeaked into 144 territory this morning. I don't claim it until I see the number on the scale for 2 consecutive days. (My scale measures by to the 10th of a lb.) So fingers crossed that I will see it tomorrow and get to claim my victory.

My hips are still feeling pretty good. I am going to try to go for a little jog this weekend and see how I feel. If I notice any discomfort, I will stop right away. Fingers crossed that I am well enough to get some jogging in. I truly miss it.

I am 16 weeks out today. Time is flying by, I swear. IN A HEARTBEAT....I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Hope you are all having a fantastic week and doing big things!
