Like a Glove

 
I stood in a dressing room and cried today.
 
For the first time in nine years I tried on a pair of jeans that were a size 14 and they fit. Perfectly.
 
Six and a half months ago I wore a size 24.
 
Today was absolutely amazing.
 
March 1, 2012 I thought I was making one of the best decisions of my life. Today just reaffirmed that.

Challenge Me!

We're a little over 100 days away from Christmas. By Christmas day my goal is to be in "one-derland". I want the scale to read 199lbs or less. That means I have slightly more than 100 days to drop 30lbs. I can do this. I WILL do this.
 
Life has gotten in the way of the healthy things I should be eating. Being "on-the-go" as much as we are some old habits have come back. I worked too hard and went through too much to fail at this weight loss. I've lost track and stayed the exact same weight for the past 2 months almost.  65 pounds is a lot- but it's not where I pictured myself to be six months after surgery. It's time to get serious! I have to be in a wedding dress in 13 months and I want to feel confident and beautiful and all of the wonderful things a bride is supposed to feel-not worrying about how I look!
 
The elliptical and I have become pretty good friends lately and I still plan to keep that trend going. I just need to start watching the protein and carbs again so that it can all work together to allow me to drop the weight. Protein shakes here I come!
 
So here's to getting back on track and reaching my goal..."one-derland" here I come!
 
(ps....I appreciate and LOVE all of my cheerleaders! You guys are amazing!!)
