Week 10

This week, I felt recommitted after my struggle the week before. I worked really hard at the gym and continued taking the stairs at work. I hit the 4 week mark of taking the stairs, so it has been a month since I have been on an elevator! Remember, I work on the 5th floor.

Daylight Savings Time hit really hard. It is harder to keep track of the time, making sure my boys are getting dinner and getting to bed and pushing back the time I am able to go to the gym. My goal is still to get there by 8:30, which so far has been doable. I worry about how it will be later in the summer when it is light until after 9 PM! I do not want to miss out on the bedtime routine.

Weight 235 I hit another milestone! 30 pounds! Booyay!

Chest 42 1/2"
Waist 43"
Hips 51 1/2"
Thigh 26 1/2"
Calf 17 1/2"
Bicep 15 1/2"
Forearm 11 1/2"

Overall, I have lost 17" since I started my journey on January 6th. I cannot tell you how GREAT this feels! I went dress shopping to buy a dress to wear to my brother's wedding. The last time I bought clothes in October and it was a size 24 skirt and 3xl shirt. Well, there was a super cute dress, but it was in a size 18. My sister tried to convince me to try it on, and even if it were small, I would surely fit into it by mid-June. Well, I reluctantly tried it on not thinking it would fit and it zipped right up! In fact, it was loose in some areas! Wahoo! I got the dress and now am worried it will be way too big for me by the time the wedding rolls around. I guess I will have to try it on again with enough time to go to a seamstress if needed.

Indulgence #1 - Creamy potato soup and rolls at my friends little boy's birthday. Yea, I ate 3 rolls. They were that good!

Indulgence #2 - Pizza with my little familia. We seem to have started a tradition that Friday night is our night to relax and eat pizza. We rented Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs2 which my little boy loved! When we took it back he hugged it the whole time saying, "I am really gonna miss this movie."

Until next week!
