Sorry about last week...I totally forgot to post anything. I was only down .5 lbs...but hey a loss, is a loss! And in my book that is GREAT!Down another 2.2 lbs this week! That makes my total 28.6 lbs total! Oh yeah! That's right! Just imagine I'm doing a little happy dance in my office chair right now. The girls at work are probably thinking I'm a nut. I have 11.3 more lbs to get to my goal of 140.0 lbs! I'm praying that in the next 3 weeks I can hit that goal before the challenge is over. I'm not sure I can do 3.8 lbs a week though! I'm still happy with any loss and if it takes me an extra week or two that is fine by me...as long as I'm ready for bathing suit season! :-)
Speaking of bathing suits....had to return the one I bought from Victoria's Secret about a month ago!! It was TOO BIG! That's right I said TOO BIG!!! I ordered Large for both bottom and top and when I went to take half way challenge pictures it was rough. :-) Of course I lost weight in my boobs (which stinks because I don't have a lot going on up there anyway!) but the bottoms were baggie and not getting the job done. So I sent them back and went to the mall and got a new bathing suite in a size MEDIUM!!! The bottoms are still a little tight but if I lose 5 more lbs they will be good to go. Brad even liked it.
So I'm going to be brave right now and post my pictures. AAGGGHHH! Not sure how I feel about it just yet, but I'm sure once they are up I'll be fine. Here goes nothing!
The first picture of me in the grey sports bra was the end of the last challenge I did. It ended right after New Years. The middle picture is the beginning of the Spring Break Bikini Challenge and the left is now (well last week). I can tell a HUGE difference! I've been getting a lot of people saying how great I look and asking what I'm doing to lose the weight. I tell them counting calories and working out. My membership to Planet Fitness has helped me SO much! I wanted to learn to control the portions of what I eat as well as the types of food I eat. We ate a lot of "box" dinners (Hamburger Helper being the main culprit) but now I've been using Pintrest (LOVE IT!) and cooking things "from scratch" as like to say. :-) Well since I'm at work I should probably wrap this up! :-)
you're doing such a great job! :) i'm so happy you participated in these challenges. and i love that you're learning to fuel your body in a better way- junk often tastes good (because our bodies are used to it and crave it), but anything with an ingredient list is not food! <3 keep up the great work!!
