NSV's are a fantastic idea!!! (My scale and I aren't talking right now - it's been saying the exact same thing for the last 2 weeks)
May:
1. Clients yesterday, who happen to be a lovely little elderly couple, went on and on about how I should be a model. When i said a model would typically be half my size they raved about how they're looking for good looking "healthy" bodies.
2. Broke out a bikini I bought just because it was on sale ($5 Reebok!) that I've never worn because it's itsy-bitsy and the hubby raved how it fit perfectly and my other ones are all looking like they're getting too big.
.......... and I believed him!
Went shopping yesterday to find new black pants for work, and I am a true size 7 (in about 95% of stores..there's maybe a few stores where their sizes run so small that I have to squeeze into a size 7 but I blame it on the store ). I went into Rickis yesterday for the heck of it (never shop in there), and I found these black pants for $29.99 on sale from $50. The lady goes, "what size are you?" I tell her a size 7, and she goes, "we only go in even sizes." So she gave me a size 6 tall and they fit! AND they were very loose in the back so I'll need a belt (we have to wear them to work anyway but still..). Normally I'm more on the 7/8 then a 6/7. So that was a huge victory for me. I'm now closer to a size 5 then I am to a size 8.
My mom complimented me on losing weight, saying she could see I was smaller in the face, my arms (which I carry a lot of fat, the toning dvd is working!), around my stomach (I have a huge gut but it is getting smaller) and that my clothes feel better. My family tends to be very critical of how I look so it was great that my mom is noticing that I'm losing weight.
1. My bf made a pan cake for breakfast yesterday, which I had not even half and was full... He was sad about it, I told him I felt guilty for not eating. And we ended up having an argument. HAHA...He IS very supportive of my weight loss but I guess he was sad that I didn't even eat half. :P
2. I went to a lunch with my friend yesterday and she ordered french fries, which I kinda wanted to but didn't have any. I didn't even touch any and was very proud of myself by the time we left the restaurant. =)
I had bought a pair of cargo-ish pants at Old Navy a few months ago when they were on clearance. Size 20, but I didn't try them on because my son was with me (and, well, he's not exactly patient! He's almost 2...). When I tried them on at home they were way too snug across the hips but I decided to keep them because I KNEW I'd fit into them soon... I just remembered them today and dug them out and tried them back on and they are WAY TOO BIG now! Kinda sucky that I never got to wear them, but oh well! Time to dig out the receipt and return them... YAY!!
My promise ring is now too big and almost falling off my finger..which is okay because my boyfriend and I went engagement ring shopping this past weekend!
Nothing too much to report sadly. Other than I can see my belly getting smaller again. And I biked 10 miles in the past two days. Hopefully more will come next month.
I've had a few these last few weeks. Umm...second week of May I ran sprints at 12.0mph on the treadmill for 15sec and when I tried to go to 12.5mph it told me the treadmill didn't go past 12. So...basically, I beat the treadmill.
And then on the weekend my mum said all my pants looked too big but I was convinced there was absolutely no way I was a size 12. And then, of course, I was tempted to find out how close I was to fitting into a 12 and I found some pants in the back of my closet and low and behold they fit fine. So then I went to buy new jeans and they are indeed a 12. Hahaha. I guess mom's know best. I have such a problem seeing the weight loss in my lower body so that kinda put things in perspective.
