Frumptastic

That's what I looked like today. I wore my charcoal suit to work today with a long sleeved red shirt underneath and I just couldn't shake the "I'm swimming in this friggin' suit" feeling all day. People tell me this is an awesome problem to have, and it IS, as long as you can fit into the lower size!

I'm going to go shopping in the next couple of days and try on a few different cuts of dress pants. I think the only reason that the 6's that I have now don;t fit, is because the waist is freakishly low. The zipper is only an inch long for crying out loud lol.

Here's my food day:

Mini Wheats
Coffee

1 cup potato soup
small cheese biscuit
1 cup grapes

I'm thinking about a 3 egg omelet for supper tonight and some kind of snack later...maybe I'll make muffins or banana bread :).

Hope everyone had a great day!

Happy Monday

My week went pretty well. I ate well, for the most part and worked out twice; it's a start, right?

I gave in to some sun chips on Saturday night - half a bag to be exact. I REALLY wanted them, and not just a 100 calorie pack of them! so I let myself dig into a big bag. I think sometimes I just need to do that, without thinking how many points or calories I'm eating; it gets old after a while. I probably won't do that again for months.

Despite the sun chips, I weighed in this morning at 132.6, down 1.4 from last week! I was pretty excited about that - I'm soooo close to the 120's :).

Day 3...Goin' Strong...

I can feel my size 8 hips and butt morphine into 6's; even though the scale had me up a couple of pounds this morning, lol. I'm still debating about exchanging the size 6 pants for 8's, just so I can wear them NOW, but i'll feel better in the end if I push myself..

Here's how my day looked:

Oatmeal - 180
Coffee - 70

Turkey Soup - 120
Saltines - 45
carrots - meh
pudding - 150

home made pizza w/lotsa veggies & minimal cheese - we'll call it 650

No exercise today, but I did do a 45 min weights video yesterday :). I'm thinking about a glass of wine later or maybe a lindt truffle...

Finally...Getting my butt in gear

Long time no post. Things Have been pretty hairy at work for the last few weeks, so I switched my focus to *trying* to relax and get enough sleep. Things seem to be back on an even keel now, thank god.

So, I bought a size 6 suit a week or so ago; the blazer fits great, but I have to be veeeerrrry careful pulling the pants over my no-so size 6ish hips and ass. I decided today that those pants are never going to fit unless I start being more careful about what I'm eating and start getting serious about the exercise; I haven't exercised - intentionally - in at least 2 months.

Here's how my day looked:

oatmeal
small plate of fruit

lean pocket
carrots
pudding cup

stew - 1 1/2 cups
flax pita w/ cheese slice

exercise: 25 mins on the bike

My current measurements are:

Bust - 35
Waist - 29
Hips - 39

Weight: 134.0

I'd like to get my waist down to 26-27 and my hips to 36-37 - just enough to comfortably fit a size 6...I don't want to be "between" anymore sizes; it's annoying!
