Yep, crazy busy days are over for 3 weeks while I am off work. No more teaching, report cards, parent conferences, and getting up early, at least for 3 weeks. I am looking forward to being mommy. My goals though are to plan some new menus because I just have been in a rut as far as making good dinnners. Uggg not my favorite thing but I am going to start looking a cookbooks, online, and just plan menus and grocery lists. Plus get back to coupon shopping. I have been so short on time and it hasn't been a priority.
On the weight loss front, I am at a plateau. Still between 147-150. Up and down. I know I am not making the best food choices. So I am going to make good choices this week and just see how tight I really am. I have learned what goes down the easiest and maybe not low in calories and I eat that til I am satisfied. Well, if I choose leaner proteins and salads I am sure I would lose. But I think I maybe need another fill. My last fill was in was in September and was nervous to be overfilled and didn't quite get enough.
A couple NSV are: I am a solid size 8 in pants. I bought a pair of Levi's I feel great in them. Although by the end of the day they were a little loose and I wonder if I should tried the 6? Dare I? I can't freakin believe it. Another thing is my closet has very few fall/winter clothes because last year I was L/XL shirts/sweaters and 16 pants. For the most part I have taken all my pants to Good Will and the kept a few sweaters but I just need new cuter things. They remind me of being depressed and heavier, plus they are too big. I need to go shopping while I am on vacation.
Another NSV is that I will have to get my rings sized down. They are twisting and turning that I am afraid I will lose them. I love slipping them on and off so easily because I couldn't do that before without soap.
NSV: I am happier!!!! I am not worried about how I look so much. (only when I don't have anything to wear cause they are too big:))) I don't feel embarrassed and I have been getting so many nice comments. I feel like I carry myself taller because I am stronger physically. I have more energy to take care of my children. Having little ones is sooo physical with bending over, carrying them, running up and down stairs to find shoes ect... Now I doing it without complaining so much.
Have a great day everyone!!!!

I always forget you used to be bigger...so thanks for reminding me you started at a 16. Enjoy your vacation :) Have you ever posted before pics?
ReplyDeleteI hear you about being afraid to try on a smaller size for fear of it not fitting. I am that way with some 18's right now. All my pants I wear are 18's, but some 18's still fit snug and I dont like that feeling!
