Feeling Ma-va-lous

Remember that Billy Crystal (Fernando) skit from SNL in the 80s?  (Showing my age here!) Anyway, I feel ma-va-lous, dah-ling!

Over the weekend I noticed that all of my little stiffness-es and little aches and pains are GONE!  GONE, I TELL YOU!  Before when I used to get up in the morning (or in the middle of the night to pee) I would notice that I had lower back pain and my legs and feet were usually a little creeky until I got moving a little.  Saturday when I got up - nothing!!!!!!!!!! I felt great!  I could have danced around the house!  I had so much energy that I did all of my housework, laundry, walked 4 miles all before lunch and still had energy!  The aches and pains and stiffness are GONE!  I'm about 3 weeks into eating grain and sugar free and I know with absolute certainty that this is why I'm feeling so wonderful!  I'm freakin' stoked!

Another reason to be stoked is that today I officially hit 15 pounds lost!  This morning I weighed in at 243.2.  I absolutely cannot wait until I reach a new decade!!!

My DD just texted me and said she found the Annie's organic papaya poppyseed dressing at a health food store today and bought us each one.  She knew I'd been trying to track it down. She and her BF are also doing awesomely on primal eating and also feeling fabulous!  My DD has lost about 5 pounds so far (in 2 weeks) and she's already slim. 

I was thinking about it and I firmly believe that's why I was floundering around for so many months, not able to lose weight - the grains and sugars were giving me too many damned cravings and making me hold onto the fat.  I have absolutely no cravings now.  It's like a miracle!  I haven't felt this great in years!  I'm so proud of myself for finally caring enough about me to do something about it. 

Oh yeah - last night I had a dream that I was having an affair with Clint Eastwood!  WTH???
