Accomplishments Thus Far....

Alright, soooo...I've been doing pretty good overall. I know deep down that I could've lost more by now and that's a little discouraging, but it's my fault. I haven't been working out like I should and I've had a couple times where I really just binged and ate horrible things. BUT, overall for only having been doing this for a month. I'd say I've done pretty darn good! So here is the most current results....

I currently weight about 194lbs. Which is about 13lbs down from where I started a month ago. But the awesome thing is, thats about 20-23lbs down from where I was only about 2-3months ago. I've lost a total of 10inches this month, which is the biggest thing to me. I'm starting to realize that the numbers on the scale dont mean much, it's the inches that are really motivating me at this point....At work, I have someone telling me how great I look and asking me what I'm doing to lose weight just about every other day....That alone is sooo motivating! It's an awesome feeling to know that people are actually noticing!!

Yesterday I went shopping...by myself, by the way, which was awesome because usually I take Darian along and he's impatient when it comes to me trying on clothes. Anywho, so I went to the mall, found tons of really cute clothes in JCPenney's. I bought a couple of things, then decided to go into Old Navy (ON). So here's some background on me and ON...I used to only shop at ON...I mean occasionally I would buy things from other places, but for the most part, I was all about ON. So, within the past few months, I no longer was fitting into their size 14's. I have worn a size 14 for at least 3-4 years now and while it wasn't the ideal size I wanted to be in, I felt comfortable in that size.....Well, I started to have to go up a size to a 16. Eventually I just stopped buying new clothes because I didn't want to wear a size 16. Soooo, in the meantime once I started this new diet kick, I had started shopping again, but primarily at the mall, and at JCPenney's. SOOOOO, yesterday...I go into ON....I find a few cute things I like, I'm primarily looking for some nice black capri pants though, to wear at work. I find some...I pick up a size 14, half worried that they still won't fit right, and hey just for kicks I pick up a size 12....I go into the dressing room, try on the size 14...they fit!! Woohoo!! And actually, they are a bit loose...now, not alot loose mind you, but with ON jeans and especially pants, after wearing them for a couple hours, they tend to loosen up even more to the point they are sagging off the booty a lil bit...SO, I decide to be brave, and I try on the size 12.........

OMG...THEY FIT!! THEY ACTUALLY FIT!! I was able to button them and everything!! Now...granted, they are a tad bit tight in some areas, but OMG they fit!! lol...I haven't worn a size 12 in about 4-5yrs.....Some of you skinny heffers are probably thinking "Oh big deal, it's just a size 12!" but for me this is a major accomplishment!! Soooo, of course I bought the pants, and I am anxious to wear them proudly to work on Tuesday! lol....

So anyways, things are looking up. That was a huge motivator and I'm so anxious to keep losing and to start losing in the places that really bother me...Those places right now are my upper arms, and my inner thighs. I want to wear a swimsuit this summer!! So stick with me guys in my journey to thinness and healthiness and lets see what I can do!!
