I was browsing through a thrift store with my boyfriend last week and looking at dresses in the woman's section. I found some cute ones(all size medium, which has been my go-to size for the last 30lbs or so) and noticed they looked kind of big. I had learned a couple weeks ago at buffalo xchange that mediums were starting to get too big, but showed a dress to my boyfriend and asked him what he thought while holding it up to myself. And he said "That dress is way too big for you sweetie. It just won't fit right". So woman's size medium is too big officially now! yay! Have to stick to juniors and smalls I guess

I've posted on the whining page about hating my job. Well, that hasn't changed. HOWEVER, things seem to be looking up.

First, another area where I work has a position open that I qualified for, and the manager likes me. It would probably be a pay cut, but it would be much less stressful.

Second, Texas just passed a law for home bakers to sell items at farmer's markets and other areas and not to only sell out of the home. It also expands to items to include candy, granola, etc. This is something I would love to do and it would bring in the additional income that I've been accustomed to.

Third, today I was in the local kitchen store and the owner & I were talking. We've become friends and I was telling her about the job stress & the law change. She told me that she was expanding her store to add a demo kitchen and she says to me, "You should totally come in and teach a class! You would be awesome at that!"

I'm very hopeful that the things will turn out the way I'm planning.

I love reading everyone's happy moments

I noticed this morning while getting outta bed/ready for the day that I can see some actual collarbone definition starting when I'm in a relax stance. Mostly easy to see in the sideways morning light, but I'll take it.

I've had a month off from exercise but today I'm getting back into it! Slightly disappointed that I've taken the time off because I would have reached my goal sooner, but hey, no point looking backwards!

So after my first week of being right back on plan eating and exercise, excuse free and busting my butt, I've lost 5.6lbs!! It was probably water weight, but I don't care because that is the booty kick I have been needing!

I wore a bikini to the beach again today. I was a little self conscious about my loose skin (again), but I said "**** it" and had fun. Later on in the day I was able to finally see myself in a mirror.

I looked pretty good! In my mind I looked completely horrible with loose skin, stretchmarks, etc. but things are a lot better than last year and I really like how my waist looks

My partner measured my stomach today and we found I've lost 9-10cm (3.5-3.9 inches) since January! I have major stretch marks on my arms, legs and hips, and the red ones on my tummy have almost faded away! Fingers-crossed I can get to 62kgs by October.
