Tangible commitments
Friday, April 9th 2010
In my last blog, I posted some things I am going to commit to, but they aren't tangible enough for me to measure. So here are some hard commitments I'm going to make over the coming weeks.1) Attend pilates on Tuesdays with my husband.
2) Sign up for the 10K run on May 2nd (done!).
3) Cut back on eating out for meals, no more than 1x/week (being back from vacation helps).
4) Spend some time alone over the coming days/weeks to reflect on my goals, my aspirations, my success a...

Ok, so I am CLEARLY not capable of wearing 14s anymore.I packed my work clothes with me to take to the gym and threw a pair of 14s in my bag knowing they'd be "loose" but not realizing just HOW loose.
I've had a hard time getting rid of my 14s because I have a lot of them, and they are all nice clothes... but clearly, it's time. I have to pull my pants up while I walk and the hems are dragging and yeah, I'm essentially swimming in them.
Makes sense when I'm fitting per...

Tuesday, April 6th 2010
I'm getting used to being smaller. Getting used to the idea that I am a "medium" - getting used to the idea that I can go into normal size clothing stores (though I often don't, I still have this fear I'll be too fat for the clothes).I went to the Calvin Klein store at an outlet mall in Orlando and bought myself an office blouse in Medium. That was a big step.
Sometimes pictures really help to see the change. Sometimes they can work against you though because I often focu...

I've been a member at my gym for about a year and a half... In fact, I first joined when I first started to seriously get myself into weight loss mode. In my first 6 months at this gym, I lost about 20-25 lbs and then didn't lose anything for about another 6 months.Anyway, there is this woman who is there EVERYDAY. She's one of those incredibly chatty women who will chat with just about anyone who will stop and listen to her.
I tend to be more of the quiet-keep-to-myself types so she'...

Ok,I think I've just about HAD IT with my scale!
I haven't been able to budge lower than 178 the past 3-4 weeks and most often hovering +/- 1 lb from 180.
And I know it's ok and I should just be patient and happy that I'm still losing inches. I mean, I lost an entire inch in the last 2 weeks off my waist. I shouldn't be complaining right?
I shouldn't get caught up in the numbers and just be happy to be the thinnest I've been in my adult life... etc etc. And I am... ...
