I went from a size 30 jeans to a 24 I bought a lovely pair of low rise, boot cut slightly stretchy jeans yesterday in a 24!!!!!! And I bought yoga pants (3X) and three awesome t-shirts also in a 3X.
All stuff that fits, looks good and is my style! Not just something I have to wear because it's the biggest thing in the store and only thing that fits
I like my shadow again. For so many years I avoided full length mirrors, windows where I could see my reflection and my shadow. Now when I go down the long hallway in our house and the light shines from behind me my shadow is not a big scary thing anymore!
I made it through the holidays 3lbs lighter than I started!! I was SO worried! So I also cleaned out my closet to celebrate! I will NEVER fit those clothes again!!
Apparently it is "foist your holiday leftovers on your coworkers" day at my work but when I went on my break, I went right past all the cookies and candy. I got my healthy snack (quinoa, cinnamon, blueberries) out and ate half of it (to save half for later).
Although my snack was pretty high-calorie and carb-loaded, it feels a lot better in my tummy and on my conscious than leftover Christmas cookies!
I do exercise videos (Leslie Sansone) in the mornings now 'cause it's too dark to walk in early AM. This morning I overslept by a few minutes and instead of rolling over and saying "oh, well"---I just did a 30 min routine instead of the 45! Big mental NSV!!
I am VERY proud of myself today. I resisted the evil cupcakes at our staff meeting today. Luckily, I knew they were going to be there, so I ate a good lunch, took a nice big bottle of cold water, put some sf peppermint gum in my mouth, and put on lots of lip gloss! Not sure which was the "it" thing that helped me resist, but doesn't matter, I resisted!!!!
A couple months ago I realized i had a pair of size 18 jeans in my closet. Not sure why I kept these because they are too short. But I pulled them out and tried them on. They were snug but they fit and gave me something to wear around the house on weekends.
Today I was getting ready to go out in the snow and I put on a pair of leggings. The jeans were laying there and I thought "no way they'll go over the leggings" and was going to get an old pair from the closet when I thought "oh, what the heck, give it a try."
Wouldn't you know it? Those jeans went right over the leggings, zipped, buttoned and a good inch to spare!
