AWESOME NIKSTER!! :drinker:

I bought a dress today for my daughter's wedding. SO HAPPY! I used to wear a size 22W dress (I used to say it's mostly because I am SO busty)... and today... I bought a size 14! YAY! :bigsmile: Still haven't lost the boobs, though... so apparently I was just plain fat all along!! :laugh:

Cazz... that is AWESOME!!!! Isn't it great to be in a size you haven't seen in forever! I tried on the Medium and it just looked sloppy... so small it is! All of my new tops are either M or L and I'm good with that, but this made me feel amazing! Plus my pants are now mostly 8's. I largest was a 16, so I feel like half the girl I used to be!!!!

Had the worst food choices at the event I had to go to tonight. It was "catered" with grilled chicken (half a freaking chicken on the bone with skin, yuck) cheesy potatoes, corn, macaroni salad, white dinner rolls... just horrible! Nothing colorful, it literally made me so depressed!!!! I didn't know what to expect so I was hungry when I got there... wish I would have eaten first, or snuck something in my purse!!!!

I picked some white meat off the chicken and ate the corn and potatoes and applesauce. Drank two glasses of water and ate snacks when I got home. Ugh... not a good night! The program was nice (it was a graduation) but the food was horrible!

ladies.. ill put week 5 & 6 together on Saturday night, or sunday morning.. Going away over night tomorrow.. so I wont be checking in. Were going to go stay in Maumee ohio and go to an indoor water park.. i sooo cant wait. It looks like soo much fun..

as for my kitten. Im thinking of naming her Merribella, or Moxie Mae. Still debating. I joked about calling her Meg, since Stewie is named after family guy.. lol.. Sorry for the lac of commitment this week.

UGH! I really dislike what too much salt in my diet does to my body!! :grumble: HOWEVER, in all fairness... I am the one that put it there! :sad:

Had a really strange run today. It was a six mile long run, which means not super fast, but steady pace throughout. I had to work from 8-12 and while I do run after work on Tuesday's, this was different. My legs felt stiff and heavy, I had to really push just to keep going!!! Totally wanted to cut it short, but I'm committed to this and I know if I let myself quit then I'll let myself get away with other things as well. So I'm happy I did it, and I got the pace I wanted, but it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as it has been in weeks past. I'm not worried, I think my mind might have been elsewhere. Who knows! Running is definitely a mental game, especially after the first mile or three!!!

Anyway, I think my hubby is going to take me out to dinner, so I'm signing off soon!!!! Have a great weekend!!

That's so great Cazz! From 22 to 14 is a huge difference - yay!

linemansgirl - I know it is hard to do, but don't psych yourself out over W6D3 before you try it. I bet you'll push through it and you'll just end up stronger after it.

Nikstergirl - HUZZAH on the small! I love it when you surprise yourself by needing a smaller size than expected. Such a great NSV. You're very right, running is so very much a mental game!

cazz - 22 to 14 is FANTASTIC! The boobs will drop away eventually. I didn't start losing my girlies until I'd gotten to about 20 pounds lost, but then all of a sudden, GONE. OK, not gone (went from a 38G to 36DDD), but they feel so much smaller to me. Actually had a bit of an identity crisis when I realized my boobs weren't my bragging freature anymore. Anyway, yeah, salt is a salty *****. Guzzle that water and flush it out of your system.

AprilVal - I'm loving the names you're mulling over for the cat. Especially Moxie Mae. I've got a special connection to that name, so hearing someone else mention it is really cool! Hope your trip was nothing but excellent.



Sorry I haven't been in here very much, gals! I haven't been on the ball with my exercising either. I don't know if that is reasurring or not, but, yeah. :laugh: Doing fine with my food, just plugging along. Most of the time when I look in a mirror I scrutinize myself and I still see the 198lb. me. Recently though, I'm happy with the person I see looking back at me. I see my different shape. Mental games are all over the place in weight loss!
