Shopping

Here are the results of my last weigh-in: I went down 1.4 lbs and weighed in at 188.2. Not too bad. I had expected better numbers but my lady-friend came to visit on Monday.

Today I weighed in and I am 187.5 Only HALF a pound away from losing 30 lbs!! And only 2.5 lbs away from my first shopping goal!!

Speaking of shopping... I am really starting to love it. I find that I am much more willing to try on clothes that seem out of my ordinary, and am frequently finding that not only do they fit, but they actually look pretty good. Granted, I'm still shopping at Old Navy and New York and Company, but that is because I'm saving the other stores for my weightloss shopping goals :)

I even bought a dress from NY & Co. Their dresses NEVER look good on me. But this one was perfect! I wore it to church and received a ton of compliments. I've even taken to wearing spandex with a tunic and belt! And again, I got a lot of compiments. It feels amazing!!

I also think to myself, "If I feel this good NOW, and I am only at 188 pounds.. how good will I feel when I am at 160 lbs? Or less!?" It's something I can't wait to find out!!

I also find that I am putting makeup on a lot more. I guess my mentality before was why bother? It's not like it's going to help you out anyway! Now, I feel more confident about wearing makeup..even lipstick (which I swear I never wore before! Not even on my wedding day or prom or anything!).

There are still days when I feel gross and wonder why I ever let myself get to this point, but then I snap out of it and think of all I have accomplished, especially considering what has been unfolding in my life.

Time to wrap it up here! Thanks for reading and for keeping me accountable! I appreciate all of your support <3
