Non-Scale Victory!!!
I have two pairs of the same jeans. I have one in a 19 and one in a 17 (Yes, I carry most of my excess weight in my butt lol). At christmas I couldn't even button up the 17s and now they fit perfectly. I cannot even wear the 19s anymore because they are HUGE in the legs! I was SOOOOOO HAPPY!

My journey thus far...
Today I realized just how much weight I have lost since I had Baby#2 in mid-October. Granted having a baby will do that, but still... I am 5'4". Before Baby#1 I was always around 150 pounds and wore a size 10-12. Between #1 and #2 I was 160-170 depending on what life was throwing at me at the time and wore a size 14. When…

Okay, let's just say this week isn't going so well from a stress point of view. Hubby works from home, and is having to work from 7am to 9pm or later some nights (and is very moody and snappy due to work deadlines). I have 14yo and 9yo sons that fight like CRAZY. Yelling, cursing (at times) :( and taking their frustrations…

Condiment-a-holic
So I am a condiment-a-holic! I love ranch on everything! I never could eat a salad unless it was drowned in dressing. I love all of it. Today I had chicken breast for lunch.

I stopped wearing my class ring (New Iberia Senior High class of 89...Geaux Yellow Jackets!) after getting married in 1996 because I'm not a jewelry type of person; not long after I just couldn't wear it because it didn't fit.

NSV of the day
So, I have this Tae Bo tape that my grandma bought me when I was about 16 (because I was fat then too... I'm 28 now). I used to do it a lot more often than I do now, but never quite got to the point where I could do ALL the reps on EVERY move in the video. Today I decided I wasn't up to facing Jillian Michaels in all her…

NSV Matching Bathing Suits
I had a NSV today! My hubs asked me if I wanted to get matching bathing suits this year! No, I don't mean that he is going to wear a bikini. Lol. We decided to get ones of similar colors- not black or brown or some other "color" that blends into the background. This year will be the first for me to confidently wear a…

I can't believe I did it!
I know this may not seem like much to some but to me it was a huge accomplishment! I just ran a whole mile without stopping! I did a total of 2.5 miles but had to walk some. My husband had a look of disbelief on his face like he thought I was lying but ultimately believed me because of the big huge smile I wore along with…

I have more energy, I am more productive at work...and people tell me I have a…
