weighed in at 203 this morning. Also went to the mall today and tried on clothes to see what size I was. Actually I went just to get my daughter some long sleeved shirts and ended up looking for me ( I did get her shirts). When I was 228 I was in an 18 and depressed. Size 16 is the norm for me. Sometimes I can wear regular 16's, sometimes I need womens...it depends on my weight at the time. Whenever I hit 18's it's time to do something. I have been a 14 to 16 as long as I can remember. I do remember once getting into a 12. That was a long time ago.
Anyway, I fit into a 14! the slacks looked so good on me that I had to buy them. I still need to lose about 5 for them to be perfect. I rationalized and told myself I was getting a good deal because they were both on sale for about $20 a piece and I had a $10 off coupon - so I'm only spending $30. Initially I said I wouldn't buy anything until the end of my round (1/6) but I can use these slacks to gauge weight loss right?
I also purchased a new scale :) I'm extremely happy about it too. I weighed myself around 5pm and I was 206.5 on my old scale, the new one read 203.That's a good reading especially in the evening when your weight fluctuates because of meals.
Today is my skip day. I am not hungry but i must admit, I was hesitant about skipping. All is fine though, hope I can still lose without my dose. Yesterday I had tomato soup for lunch and dinner along with my protein.I think I'll limit the soup to once a day. Here's to tomorrow and the thought of possibly wearing a 12 one day.
Now didn't that feel good? It is also a good way to reward yourself. An excellent way to celebrate. Keep up the good work! It's worth it. I am going to try your tomatoe soup, I want something different. I know we started about the same time, but have you shampooed your hair yet? My scalp is starting to itch, also did you have any gains on the days you ate cucumbers. I noticed twice this week I ate cucumbers and the next day I had a gain. I didn't use any salt only organic apple cider vinegar.
ReplyDeleteSkipping was scary for me too at first - but I didn't notice much of a difference. Good for you for buying the pants, it's good to treat yourself. You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteEdith: buying clothes ALWAYS makes me feel good.As far as cucumbers, I think they're about the only veggies I tried so far that gives me a loss.I guess it's like they say,you have to find what works for you. How is your journey going?
ReplyDeleteChristy ,I'm doing a long round so I can't afford to become immune. I just wish I could figure out this scale thing.
