Happy Sunday ladies!! I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!
Now, let's get to some proper personals shall we?
PurpleJ ~ sorry to hear about your wisdom tooth, I hope you're feeling better soon! Congrats on meeting your GOAL!!
VickieLou ~ you are so close to Onederland! You can do it!! Here's to finishing out the month strong!!
Lovemylife ~ Awesome loss this month!! You should be so proud of yourself on doing so well!!! :banana:
LovelyLeah ~ girl, you are on FIRE!!
A new job, ring shopping and dealing with a snotty salesman, photobombing, losing 25 lbs, meeting your GOAL and fitting into smaller jeans--it's an inferno!!!
Congratulations all around!!
GardenerJoy ~ you are doing fantastic with your goal! I am so glad that it is working for you!
Magistra ~ I too have a 'distasteful task list' and in the midst of it right now. I hope to finally conquer it this summer!! Great job on the loss this month!
SusieKay ~ alcohol can be a pain! I try not to drink my calories, but sometimes...a glass of wine is definitely called for.
JacquiD ~ Another girl on fire over here!!!
No longer obese, another 25 lbs down--girl, you are doing so fantastic!! I hear ya on weight loss being more fun without an event looming over you. Last time I lost I had nothing but me to focus on, this time, my sister's wedding loomed large and sometimes put quite a damper on my progress. Now that it's over and I survived public speaking (gulp), I have only me to worry about and I am ready for the fun to begin!
Sizzlingina ~ TOM is such a pain! I mean, it's bad enough we have to deal with him showing up, why does he have to throw a wrench in our progress! Ugh! Great job staying the course, TOM will be gone and progress will resume!
BerryBlondeBoys ~ Congrats on making GOAL!!!

Delphi ~ Girl I missed you too!
Wow, you're having a crazy month too! Congrats on the new job!!!
I hope you love it! Don't sweat the prevacation weight, it'll come right off! You're getting in some awesome workouts girlie and already the scale is moving in the right direction! I agree with the other ladies, taking in a dress is far easier than letting one out. Just find a dress you love, let them know you are losing and that it will need to be taken in. Some dresses might be more tricky than others, so they'll be able to keep that in mind. Lastly, wanna come clean, purge and organize my house? Please oh please oh please?! It is my very least favorite thing to do and I so very much need to do it!

I knew I'd see a bump up today, we ate out last night and I had too many chips with my salsa. I stayed under my calories, but the dang salt...oh, not to mention that TOM is still hanging around. However...I can still say
GOAL MET so it's all good.
Okay, so let's see...the wedding went well, I didn't end up sweating through my dress while I did my reading
, no one passed out or freaked out--so it was great! My sister was gorgeous and my new bil is so sweet! I am so very happy for them. They are currently on their honeymoon and I am now jealous of them. LOL
I managed to get every single workout in while being gone for a month and I lost a total of 9 lbs while I was away (as of yesterday). I am also down a pant size!!! The hardest part of this journey, besides having to do it
, was how agonizingly slow dropping clothing sizes has been. I know it's because I was pushing the very limits of the seams of my biggest sizes, but still...it hurt to be down 20, 30, 40 lbs without seeing the next size down. Finally 60 lbs in and I am down a solid two sizes. Whew! I am looking forward to finishing out this month and getting a fresh start next month. I have one more vacation at the end of next month, but it's only for a week and if I can do a month and lose, I can do a week in my sleep.
Okay ladies, I am officially all caught up! Now to just keep up! Have a great rest of the day girls!!!
