my NSV for this week: my weight loss has slowed quite a bit. i've been working on the same pound for the last 3 days - watching it come off 2 ounces at a time. so frustrating! however, this week i am wearing size 10 skinny jeans! i can't ever remember wearing size 10. when i was in high school at 145 lbs i was wearing a size 12. this is blowing my mind because is still see my hips and thighs as being huge. i still see my entire body as being huge! i wonder if i'll still feel this way when i am in an 8 or a 6? oh well, either way i am happy as can be about wearing a size 10 in jeans! oh, and being at my driver's license weight (which was always a big "I WISH!").
Big NSV for you with the size 10 skinny jeans!!! Oh my gosh, I am so happy for you!!!
Have a love affair with your skinny jeans!
Haha about your driver's license weight! Don't we all fudge it just a bit? My sister looked at my DC license and said, "Oh my gosh, Emily, you only weigh 135?" So I had to admit it was an "I Wish" weight. She's 5'10" and gives me all her jeans and pants that she shrinks in the dryer since I'm 3 inches shorter and they usually fit. Lukcily now that I've moved to VA there is no weight listed on the license.
I noticed that the one day this week I had a restricted, it jump started my weight loss again. I had not lost anything for 2 days. So today I had a bar for breakfast in hopes that it will do the same thing. Also, I feel sort of afraid of the restricted bars so the day I had one, I walked my dog around the lake to try to work it off. I guess it worked? I will do the same thing today and see if it works for more than a 0.2lb loss tomorrow (which was what I had today). I don't care if it's raining, I am walking my dog on our lake path route. If there is lightening then I'll ride the stationary bike in my living room instead. I'd just rather be outside!
