speed trials
oh thank god.
178.0 this morning.
I’ve been a bad blogger lately. and I mean, a really bad blogger. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of you had thought I’d completely dropped off the map. The truth is, I’ve kind of been too ashamed of myself to own up to the fact that I gained 4 lbs last week. I’ve managed to chase it back off by having 2 perfect days in a row. I think I was holding water, too. Anyway. I tend to show a lot of pride in my accomplishments in this blog and I just felt like I didn’t deserve to post. Which, I’ll be honest, is flat out silly and I know it.
It seems as though everyone at work has started to notice my weight loss. They always seem a little shocked when i tell them I’ve already lost 65 lbs. Like, wow, we really never paid that much attention to you until somebody pointed out that your uniform shirt is 3 sizes too big. I don’t want to pay for another new, smaller, one until the smaller one I already have looks ridiculous too.
I bought a banana to have with my lunch yesterday. I was having yogurt and a fiber one bar, plus the banana. Apparently my co-workers that eat pizza and jack in the box and fried chicken every day think I must clearly be starving myself.
only 5 lbs to a “normal” BMI. I can’t even comprehend that right now.
I don’t know if I’ve ever been “normal” in my whole entire life. Why am I having such a hard time with this?
today:
weigh in- 178.0
lunch: LC panini, 1 serving pringles light.
snack: ww yogurt (when I wrote that, I was considering have a yogurt, I didn’t. thus, struck from the record)
dinner: 346 calories worth of homemade veggie pizza.
snack:DH and I both had a serious case of the munchies while watching Top Chef, so I threw some baked tostitos on a cookie sheet, threw on some onion and jalapeno and some reduced fat cheese, and we ate nachos. Yummy!
we are getting DS’s portrait taken today. yay. In a little over an hour. I’d better start getting ready!
Party pics when i get back!
DS was NOT having the portraits today. Wow. So we’re going to try again tomorrow.
Here is a link to a slideshow of party photos

Let me know if you have difficulty with it. I felt extremely fat that day so don’t mind me.
My feet are cold. I want to buy size 12 jeans. Even just to have them as motivation. I want to see my next mini goal. I bought some lingerie for valentines day. A two piece. bra and ..well…they called it a skong. it’s a thong with kind of a skirt on it. It has a big bow over the back. It makes my T&A look great. Add stillettos and my legs look great. It did make me realize, however, that I need to do some more crunches
still don’t recognize this body. Still feel enormous. Not very self-aware. My new years resolution was to become more acquainted with my new body. I’m doing this with a flickr 365. Kind of. My dad looks at my flickr.
Going to go watch some tay vay with DH. Eat something. Mmmm. I have to eat something. What kind of craziness is that? NACHOS!!!!

Thanks for your comments.
Uncharted territory baby! Fun! You know you’re having the adventure of a lifetime, right? Unfortunately it’s not always so exciting. BUT still an adventure!
Love the baby birthday photos and love that you’re documenting yourself everyday. I think that’s a great way to discover yourself, realize yourself and accept your new bod. Wonderful, wonderful experiment.
Yeah, watch out - the floodgates are opening with people noticing. It’s maddening and flattering all at once. I still don’t know what to make of it. Mostly want to dole out sucker punches and bitch slaps!
Great pictures! That one of James in his high chair with the party hat on is the exact same one I have of our son ~ so cute! And that chocolate cake with the big swirl of chocolate icing: I swear I could reach my finger in and scoop up a big finger full! Thanks for sharing! You looked great, BTW.
OMG! I don’t know who’s more gorgeous. You or James. You both look adorable!
