Hey everyone!
I hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was fantastic! On Saturday, I went to the mall to get my nephew a bday present, so I stopped at Lany Bryant to try on some clothes. I haven't bought or tried on ANY clothes since before I started my weight loss journey. I grabbed the next pant size down... hmm.. too big on me, so I grabbed the next... still too big... After all was said and done, I went from a size 8 in the Right Fit pants line to a size 5. OMG! I couldn't believe it! Then, in their regular sizes, I used buy size 26 of regular pants, but had to get size 28 of stretch jean, and sometimes couldn't even fit into a size 28 of sturdy denim jeans. You know, those things have no give. lol. Anyways, I tried on a pair of 22/24 cotton pants and they fit great! Then I tried on a pair of 24 denim jeans, and those fit! The tops I tried on and fit were also 22/24's. YAY! I was just blown away I was so excited! I'm still on a little high from that! Ha! When all was said and done, even though I am swimming in all my pants, I couldn't really buy new clothes because I can't afford it right now. Plus, Lane Bryant is super expensive, hello! But, the hubby said that I should get a new outfit to wear on interviews otherwise I would just look funny. So I took him up on that offer, and I am soo thrilled! I will be lookin good come that next intrview.
Then on Sunday, dh and I went to go visit his bro and their fam. We went out to eat, but I ordered light and healthy. We went to give our nephew his bday gift and also kinda say "see ya later" b/c they are probably moving to Kansas in like a week. It's hard for dh b/c he and his bro are rly close, but at the same time it's good b/c his bro is moving to be w/ the rest of their fam. He knows that now we just get to visit more often. Then, I made this super awesome dinner that night. It was LF Chicken & Dumplings. It was soo good! Yum!
I woke up on Monday, got on that scale, and WOOHOO! I am down 2.2 pounds. YAY! Hope it stick for next week b/c I gave myself a cheat day yesterday. It was planned though. I give myself one a month. The last one was over a month ago for dh's bday, and I won't have another one till Easter. I thought it was the perfect time, especially since it was on a weigh day, so I have a whole week to try to make up for it, and maybe, just maybe, even lose something. I won't keep my hopes up though. I'll be lucky if I don't have a small gain.
But, today I am right back on the horse. I am eating well and just came back from Curves. I will be crossing my fingers for the next weigh in. I am so close to that next milestone I can taste it! Have a great week everyone!
