I could put both hands on top of each other inside the…

Back on Track!!!
So, my sister's wedding is in 2 1/2 weeks and while I've lost 41lbs since last July, since February I've been holding steady. As much as I would like to think it was a plateau, I can't say I was as motivated as I should have been and maybe took a few too many liberties (in the form of ice cream cones from Dairy Queen - why…

Running in the Wind and Rain
Okay so maybe it's technically jogging when you go at a 10.5 min/mile pace, but I reached my first goal of 3 miles this past weekend. Now I can't ever go back because I know I can run this far. I really think the cool weather has helped. On friday it was really windy but felt so good because it cooled me off so I didn't…

I'm down to my lowest so far and only 0.6lbs away from losing 20 lbs! Which will also be my halfway point! It has been at least 7 and maybe even 8 years since I was at this weight! People at work keep telling me how "skinny" I'm getting and I realized none of them have ever seen me when I was actually "skinny" and the…

Size 18 to WORK!
So I started off my journey in a tight fitting Size 22 pant :grumble: - but this morning - frustrated that clothes were dirty and the clean ones were wrinkled from not getting hung up in time, I reached into my closet for the pair of kahaki, size 18 (albeit STRETCH) slacks from New York & Co. I bought these pants about 5…

WOW- I did it!!!!!!
About a month ago I took my dog for a run and seriously almost died (or atleast I looked like I was going to die). My body wasn't able to handle that intense work out and what really was my breaking point was when my dog looked back at my lagging butt with a face that said "I thought you said we were going for a run"…

I know that most of…

not since high school
I wore a strapless dress to a wedding today and decided I needed something under it. I found a bustier in my drawer today that I forgot I had, so I wore that. It was a tad difficult to hook, but I got it on and it really wasn't that uncomfortable. Then I realized, that was the bustier I bought for prom back in high school.…
