Yesterday I met a couple of friends at a bar for a drink and to catch up a bit. They don't know I'm transitioning and due to the weather, I was pretty bundled up, so they still don't know. The party broke up pretty early and I was kind of disappointed. A very dear friend of mine recently moved to Texas. We didn't get out often but when we did, we would meet at 5 and we never finished before 10 or 11. Oh, I miss him.
Anyway, since I was out, I did a little shopping. I wasn't really in the mood but I live 20 minutes out of town so I thought I'd take advantage of being in town. Especially since it hardly seemed worth driving in for the short visit with the guys. I wandered through the women's department of several stores and didn't see anything the got my attention. On the way home I was thinking that it's fine that I didn't find anything, since I don't have a place to wear half of the cloths I already have. That didn't help my mood any.
None of my body measurements have change much since about February of this year. I mentioned in another thread that my breasts had stopped hurting awhile back, which may or may not mean anything. Although I'm inclined to think it does. For quite awhile I was happy wearing my bras with just "me" inside them. Lately I've been finding the need to add some padding in them.
I had my blood work done last week and I have a followup with my GP on Wednesday. If my blood work looks okay, I'll probably keep my meds at the current level. Three months ago we dropped the Spiro and replaced it with finasteride. I really need to give it a little more time to see if it's going to do anything. I have notice some other changes lately. I had ILP'ed most of my dark body hair away yeas ago but there was still the gray and a little dark hair I had to deal with. I'm finding I can skip a couple of days or more and my legs still feel smooth. Same with my tummy. My chest does require a little more attention but much less than just a year ago. I'm very happy about that. Especially when I'm wearing a skirt or a dress where I can run my hands over my thighs. I think the hair on my head might be thickening up a bit too. But that could just be wishful thinking.
Overall I'm doing well. I felt much better this morning and today than I did yesterday evening. I don't have many days like that. I think it mostly had to do with the get together breaking up early.
I don't carry much extra weight but what I do have is around my middle section. I think if I can lose a little of that, I'd have a bit of a curve. I'd really like that, but damn it's hard to lose weight this time of year. It's hard anytime of year as we all know, just harder this time of year.
Hugs and Warm Regards,
Paulie.
