On another note, I haven't had a completely on plan week in probably a month, so I am declaring this week 100% on plan starting today. The weight is bouncing between 130 and 132. I normally don't have weight fluctuations, but my eating has been pretty erratic lately.
Oh, and a NSV, I took my boys to a waterpark this weekend, putting on a swimsuit for the first time since last summer. I didn't feel like a beached whale. I didn't feel the need to run from the pool to the towel ASAP after exiting the water. I laid in a lounge chair without a coverup. I certainly am not anywhere near close to being what anyone would consider a beach body, but I was comfortable...in a swimsuit, HUGE NSV for me.
I always thought I was 5'5" too until I went to the doctor about 10 years ago and he measured me at 5'6". That's funny. Ditto on not feeling the need to completely coverup at the pool upon exiting the water. I've always been a shy person so walking even to enter the pool with my sons without feeling like everyone is staring at me was a big deal for me. I have a very boyish-shape - not much of a waist and small hips/bust so I'll never be what guys would consider a "bombshell" (like Kim Kardashian, lol) but I don't care now. I'm me and that's fine, y'know? Isn't it weird how the swimsuit is like the ultimate test for women? Crazy.Originally Posted by aimeebell
I was kinda excited to find out that I am taller than I thought I was. All of my adult life I have thought I was 5' 5". I have no idea when I last measured myself, but I am 34 years old and pretty sure I haven't grown taller in the last decade. We measured my 13-year-old this weekend and he was 5' 4". I said no way, I know I am more than an inch taller than him, and so they measured me. Turns out, I'm 5' 6". For some reason, it makes me feel thinner LOLOn another note, I haven't had a completely on plan week in probably a month, so I am declaring this week 100% on plan starting today.
