Went clothes shopping - bleh

Size 14 women's blue cut off type trousers - straight on, no undoing them! was dancing round changing room. Didn't buy them though as phone and wallet would not fit into crummy pockets! meh

so off I go to men's section. Currently wearing a 38" pair of mens shorts, so I try 36s. They fit!! Muffin top makes an appearance, but same one as I used to have in size 44s!
and they are gorgeous jeans with awesome pockets, soooo happy!!! now just need the sun to b*gger off for a bit so I don't die if I wear them! hehe

I cannot ever remember buying a pair of 14s. Which means I must have had mum buying me clothes the last time I was this size - which admittedly could have been when I was anywhere up to 16 as I hate and always have hated clothes shopping.
Add to that the principle of vanity sizing and a 14 is prob a 16? But still!! have never seen that number in a label of something that fits me!!

did 3rd park run and was 7 seconds slower than last time - slightly peeved as I felt I was running better. but oh well. having a break for a couple of weeks due to busy weekends, can do my own 5k, but won't have 'official' time and all.

ooh and, went to Wagamamas and had their ramen, didn't want all the noodles, fought the 'wasting food' feeling and didn't eat them all. and then enjoyed a glorious ice cream in the sun!

Feeling epic!

So today I wore a size 18 pants to work and by the end of the day I had to literally hold the pants to keep them from falling off!!!! It was hilarious and fantastic at the same time...the scale has not been moving much but this gave me hope today.

Snap!!! I bent down to get the milk out of the fridge when making tea and suddenly realised my undies were on display.... Fortunately I was wearing some big ones I've been working from home a lot recently so have been living in workout leggings which don't have the same issue! Happy dances, but also annoyed that it means I may have to finally go shopping (I HATE shopping for clothes!)

I'm a living room exerciser, and when I first started this 3 months ago my fitness level was so off-the-charts low that marching in place was my warm-up before proceeding to other low-impact aerobic moves. Now JOGGING in place is my warm-up.

Decided I would take the stairs today. Made it up 4 flights and was breathing hard but not to the point I would have been before last year.

Ran C25K W5D3 (the dreaded 20 min run) last night.

Today, I'm wearing the pants to work that I INTERVIEWED in... 2 years ago!!

.....got to add this...colleague walked past me and said, 'you're getting skinnier and skinnier!'

I love lifting the heavy things. Has changed my body shape more in a month than the previous 6 months of 'vaguely lifting the slightly heavy things, but mainly cardio and diet' thing I was doing.

Stopped at the grocery last night, browsed for treats but successfully got out of there with only the stuff I needed. When I got home I realized my sugar craving had vanished.

Put on some pants this morning that I haven't worn in a while. I knew they would be roomy since I've lost almost 50lbs but for some reason I thought I could still wear them to work? I don't know. Anyways, they literally would not stay up and it was ridiculous. It was a nice reminder that yes I have lost a lot of weight and my body is different even if I don't see it in the mirror yet.

I still remember putting on my favourite dress shirt that I used to get complimented on, only to have my wife laugh at me. It got donated.

Shopping for swimsuits online..... I love too many of them! Swim suit shopping and liking it.....what universe have I entered?

A coworker of mine who I am also casually friends with joined MFP yesterday after watching my success over the last year and asked for help.

Today's NSV: Managed to wear a sleeveless dress and actually feel comfortable in it. Weeks ago I could only wear it with a blouse.

I noticed my wedding ring is loose on my finger

Just wait!!! Don't lose it!
I have to wear mine on a necklace because it kept falling off!

I just completed day 22 in a row of going for a walk of at least 1.25 miles, day 22's walk was 2.04 miles.

Archcurl

I looked down while sitting and I realised my bellyflab/fat doesn't come as far down my legs anymore. One day I hope to not have a flab anymore but just to be able to see the top of my jeans as I sit down

I have six pack abs. Seriously. I looked down at my stomach and I was like, wait, are those my ABS? And they are!!!

NSV: my measurements are now 36/28/38

So close to my long term goals even if the scale is just bouncing around right now.

I'm NOT one for selfies at the gym, but a friend snuck up on me while I was doing assisted chin-ups and snapped this. Had no idea I had back muscles! This is from one year working at the gym (joined on my 50th birthday--first time EVER working out or even stepping foot in a gym). I don't have a 'before' picture of my back but will show you my front shot--just assume my back is all soft and doughy-like. (-135 lbs lost--hence the loose skin over my bra).

Julie, you are amazing. Just amazing.

It happened today. I was having a quiet conversation with myself, before weighing. I told myself that I should weigh a bit less than "One-sixty-nine." That's the first time I didn't say "Two-" in describing my weight to myself. I'm sure I was surprised.

descene

Apparently there were collar bones under some of the fat I've lost... lol.

See, I was the fat kid since elementary school, so these are totally brand new. I can't stop touching them. The weirdest part is when I move my shoulder forward the skin wraps around the bone but there's less fat there now so it SLOPES INWARD and I can feel parts of my bones I didn't know exist. Sorry, it's just very freaky to me lol, but in a cool way.

I joined a gym! I worked out, and although I was the only woman in the free weights section all the guys could not have been nicer. A really big guy helped me out and gave me tips on my form. It's 24 hours and within walking distance of my house.

Also, the cat has figured out that I have a lap now. For a long time I didn't so he never tried to sit on my lap. He finally noticed I lost weight!

Set a new Total weight lifted by my triceps today. 22,870lbs in total.

I've recently gained quite a few pounds over the summer and we all officially started back at work this week (teacher). 2 people commented on how I look like I've lost so much weight and that my stomach must be so flat now (I must've been wearing a really flattering shirt because it's no where near that). I was reminded that yes, I have put on a few pounds but I am no where near where I was.

Ran Week 4 Day 1 of B210K. Total of 54 minutes of running time.

I've gotten a few comments lately at work (the good kind).

I just realized that the next time my boss sees me she may be a bit surprised. It's been almost 3 years since I've seen her (we work in different cities). At the time I was 60-70 lbs heavier, pregnant, and had long dark hair. Now I have short green hair! And all the other changes too... Guess I should update my staff picture one of these days.

Piqueaboo

I was out last night at a friend's birthday and we were sat at a big table with about 10 people (with me at the end). I'm talking to a friend opposite of me and she turns to me and says "just so you know, they're all talking about how amazing your body looks - they're so impressed with your transformation" - that was super motivating because lately I've only been seeing "old-me" in the mirror.

I find I'm able to close out my food diary mid-afternoon on days when I know what dinner is going to be. Until a few weeks ago I was such a slave to my cravings that I'd have to wait until like 10pm each night before clicking 'Complete' because I didn't know if other food might still be on the way in before bedtime.
