Healthy ME????

So I was pretty good today. I posted the omelet for breakfast and then had creamy mushroom soup and marinaded beef for lunch. Then I had basically the same thing for dinner. After work I ate a small portion of ice cream and after dinner I have a couple of ounces of pepperjack cheese and then I was hungry again at 9 and made that Atkins shape up shake. It’s diet lemon lime soda with sugar free lime jello and half n half and some ice. I shared half with Dad and drank the rest and was full. Then I took Luna on a 30 minute walk. Yay and got back. Hmmm.

So I weighed myself (drumroll please) 180. Yep 180 pounds, just 15 under my all time high of 195. Buggerbear. I suppoe that month spent eating and laying on the couch was NOT a good idea. lol. You know, its not the weight that has given me this motivation, it’s feel rolls on my back. Like I stood up straight a couple of days ago and arched back a little and felt skin touching itself on my back. Ugh and totally needing to be taken care of. 

Current weight: 180 lbs

Goal Weight: 135lbs

I need to lose: 45 lbs

So I need some goals, right? Most revolve around sewing because I can’t exactly sew when I WILL lose weight and need to take them in again if fitted. Until then I can sew stretchy pants and skirts and shorts from jersey and suchlike.

• Lose 10 pounds and at 175 I will allow myself to sew a new dress with jersey.
• Lose 10 more pounds at 165 I will sew a fitted dress with cotton.
• Lose 5 more pounds at 160 I will sew a retro Butterick skirt with fitted jacket and jean skirt
• Lose 5 more pounds at 155 I will sew a fitted suit and a new sewing machine if not living with the parents still.
• Lose 5 more pounds at 150 I will go out for a weekend in a hotel away. By then I should hopefully have a permanent job and live elsewhere and a nearby weekend destination will vary. Right now, I will just say San Antonio.
• Lose 5 more pounds at 145 I will allow myself to sew with my true vintage patterns and vintage vogues.
• Lose 5 more pounds at 140 I will allow myself to buy a serger.
• Lose 5 pounds at 135 I will have a spa day with a pedicure, eyebrows, tinting, facial, manicure, massage, spa type food.
• Maintain 135 pounds for 6 months and I will give myself a pink PSP or DS
• Maintain 135 for a year and I will go on a cruise, 5-7 day-long in the Caribbean. 

Hmm, so some nice goals and rewards. Right now I will just focus on the losing the first 10 pounds thing. Hopefully it will be gone afte ra week of induction or so and I can sew this dress I am picturing in the new teal and white stripped jersey I bought at WalMart for a dollar a yard. I like it so much, that I bought 10 yards of the stuff, almost the entire thing. I know they have announced that they are closing the fabric department at some yet-to-be-determined date like the fabric departments in other Walmarts, but I also know they buy their fabric at Golden D’or which just happens to have an outlet here in town with similarly priced fabrics and a much better selection, but it’s in downtown or there-abouts and has somewhat inconvient hours during the week and I never get around to going there on the weekend and for now Walmart has everything I need, oh, and Joanns and Hancocks. I spent some 30 bucks on fabric today, but I got a lot of fabric for that, the jersey and a green linen blend and some denim and some black fabric with shiny squares on it (an accent fabric only), a stretchy olive polyester mix, and a sweater knit. Hmm nice and I can sew with them only after I lose some weight and finish my current ufos.
