So far...

Well, I wasn't really supposed to, but I was feeling discouraged because I am not seeing any change in the mirror, so I weighed and measured.

Since June 9, 2012, here are the stats for progress:

Pounds lost:  14

Inches lost:  16 1/4

4 of those inches are from my waist alone.

Can't wait to start SEEING the changes when I look in the mirror!

A New Dress

Yep, I bought myself a new dress.  I absolutely shouldn't have spent the money, but I did.  I walked into the store, tried on a dress I liked in my size, and it was too big.  So on a whim, I tried on the smaller size and to my AMAZEMENT, it fit!  That was all it took for me to slap down that money and run.  I love the dress, and am working up the courage to wear it out in public.  It's a cute little ruffled dress in a great salmon color...and, gasp, it is sleeveless.  That is why I have to work up the courage to wear it out...I NEVER show my arms in public.  Ne.Ver.  But I'm working on my courage...and hope to venture out in my new dress soon.  And while it isn't really noticeable to me or anyone else that I've dropped a few pounds, I know, based on my clothes, that I have...and I also know that the size on the tag is a little smaller.  And I'll take it!

Sunday, June 17, 2012

Just marking this date down as encouragement for myself....

Wore my cute salmon color pants to church...could pull them off WITHOUT unbuttoning or unzipping them.  Feels good, yet I wonder how in the world I will be able to afford new clothes as I continue to lose weight and need smaller sizes.  Maybe I need to invest in a belt so I can just cinch up the waist and continue wearing what I've got!  Ha!

Monday

Monday starts my seventh fit camp. Seventh. We have had a nice break, including Spring Break and now it is time to get back at it...time to rise early and sweat.

It's interesting because I have done some reading and made some new realizations about myself and this journey towards health. Maybe in the coming weeks I'll feel up to sharing some of that...maybe not. We will just have to see.

For now, I am preparing myself mentally to get up at 4:30 Monday. I have REALLY enjoyed sleeping late...which for me means sleeping until 6:30! Ha!
