Wow!

So I got on the scale yesterday and I am down 5lb from the last blog post! So 208 now. I don't remember the last time I was this weight... I estimate a couple of years. 

And what this really means is, I've lost 5 lb since I changed jobs! I started my new job 1/2 and I've been able to walk daily so obv this is helping! Also I feel like I've been making better food choices and focusing on protein, not drinking liquids during meals, etc. basically - following the rules.

Brent had a big 30th birthday party last night and this is what I wore:

 

With my sparkle leggings and nude pumps. I got it from the Forever 21 plus size section. It says it's a 2x but it's Forever 21 so basically that translates to a regular large, right? Right guys? Lol

Anyway I felt like I looked good, a little self conscious about my "pooch" but what can you do. I feel like it's mostly loose skin right there so hopefully it will go away a little more as I lose more weight. Or I could just wear Spanx. 

So continued struggles include eating breakfast, and generally eating, period. I can't believe I am about to say this but sometimes I forget to eat. It's just weird now because I don't get the stomach grumbles I used to get when I was hungry. Which is nice in some ways...

Anyway that's the update! I shall continue on my crusade to be under 200lb by Valentines Day. As of now, I feel like this is attainable! 😛

New Year!

Hey guys, it's been awhile! But I figured New Year, new blog post :) 

Update: weight 213lb. I was trying to get down to 200lb by Christmas, but as you can see, I kind of missed the mark. My new goal is to be under 200 by Valentines Day! I think I can do that if I work my booty off... Literally.

So as you can see the weight loss has been slow over the past few months. I attribute this to several factors... Holidays, mostly. But also some stress and lack of exercise! Not making good food choices...the usual suspects.

Good news though, my clothing sizes have changed pretty dramatically. I now wear mostly size large tops and I am *almost* into my size 16 pants. I can wear size 16 skirts no problem. Even my underwear and bra size has decreased! 

So that is actually more exciting to me than the numbers on the scale.

I am getting ready to do a big closet purge to get rid of some of the stuff I can't wear anymore... I recently organized the closet and realized I won't have to buy jeans/pants until my 12's get too big! I organized by size. Check it out! 

You should have seen the "before." And here are some recent pics of me!

Hehe, just kidding. But isn't that bikini amazing!!?
