Well, August has been great for my weight loss. I am down 14 pounds & yesterday I decided to go to Old Navy to try on some jeans. I've been wearing the same clothes even though I've lost weight because I really didn't see the results myself. Almost everyone around me said that they could tell I was loosing but I guess since I was wearing the same clothes I couldn't see it myself. I have been wearing a size 18 for quite some time now. I decided that I would take in a size 16 and a size 14. I was kinda sceptical that I could get into the 14 but decided that I would try it anyway. I tried the 16 on first and it was too big. I did a happy dance right there in the dressing room. But then of course my mind was telling me that there would be no way I would be able to already fit into a size 14 so I got a little sad for a little bit. Then I just bit my lip & pulled on the 14's. THEY FIT!!!!! I was so excited. I came out of the dressing room & one of the workers even commented on how they looked really good on me. At first I thought they were a little tight but the longer I stood there & looked at them I could see that they weren't tight, they just fit. I haven't been able to wear a size 14 since before Bailey was born which is almost 14 years ago. I did a bigger happy dance after that. I almost wanted to wear them out of the store. But it being kinda warm outside made me change my mind. I wore a pair of dressy jean capris and until I had tried the jeans on in Old Navy really didn't notice that the capris were actually almost falling off of me. It was kinda sad that I had to wear a pair of capris all day that were so big. But I am so excited that I am down 2 pant sizes. I have even been wearing a smaller size in shirts. I can't wait until I am down to my goal weight & can go buy a whole new closet full of clothes. My goal is to get down to 165 lbs. before Christmas. As of yesterday, I weighed 177 lbs. so I have 12 lbs. more to go. I know I'm gonna make it. I've decided that in addition to my walking every night, I am going to start doing yoga 3 times a week. I should be able to get it off a little faster that way & maybe start getting rid of the preggo tummy that I so desperately want to see go bye-bye. That is pretty much what started all this because I was so tired of looking in the mirror and seeing myself almost look pregnant when I haven't been (& can't be again) for over 3 years. I just need to get it off. And I know I'm on the right track.


Until next time,



Liana
