inventory @ work...

Phew...

I am so glad we are done with inventory for 3 more months @ work. Inventory sucks and it's very hard work. You scan and run around the store like chickens with no head. At my weight all inventory meant to me was I was going to hurt and not be able to walk for 2 days after without a lot of pain. For those of you that don't know, years ago (20) I was in a car wreak and my left ankle was shattered and has limited range and motion. It does not have the same flexibility or movement. Since it does not move the same it has made me limp for years and has never been the same. So after long days on my feet it swells, and then I sit down for a bit it gets so stiff that it has made me cry trying to "walk it out". Anyway.... my point to this is I just did inventory from 12pm last night to 8am this morning and did it with no pain meds. I did it! I was so worried these last two days, I can not tell you how many times I thought about how inventory was going to kick my ass and I am unable to take pain meds of any kind to relieve the pain if I don't have to. I've always had to pop a Tylenol to "get through" the hustle and bustle of inventory and the pain with every step. You have to count everything 3 times in the entire store and find what the report says is missing and count it again. I was happy! When I came home I told my hubby "i did it, and with no Tylenol". I must be feeling lighter on my feet as I lose. I am tired and yes my ankle is stiff and sore but I managed and that has to be because of my 45 pound loss so far. I can't wait to feel 170 pounds. I can't wait to do the things my weight has limited me to do all these years. I have never done a lot of things because of my extra weight. It's sad, but true. You don't want to admit that your weight limits you, but it does. Does not mean I was not happy, it just means that it was always there and in your mind. Not happy with that part of my life and disappointed. And it did stop me. I am so excited for my future and how I am going to feel in these next few months. I am going to feel so blessed. 170 or a healthy weight is something I have NEVER experienced (well I passed it by once in my life time).

And I deserve it.
