    After years of yo-yo dieting I've finally made permanent changes to the way I think about weight loss. I now work out 6 times a week (used to be about twice) and I can now order sensible foods when I eat out (ordered a chicken salad yesterday as opposed to a bbq pulled pork burger with a pint AND dessert which is over triple the calories!)

    It seems small but I'm happy that my whole mental attitude has just clicked for the better and I am now saying 'WHEN I lose weight' and not 'IF I lose weight'!

    One downside though is shopping for clothes to fit you at the present time (10% of my wardrobe fits me - tightly!) when you know you're going to be losing weight over the coming months and it's likely the new clothes won't fit you anymore! :(

    I know! I see all these cute clothes I want to wear but it's pointless buying them until I reach my GW. Instead I plan to belt the heck out of everything I own and make it work until it's falling off me.

    Yesterday was my first full day back from holidays. From 10 days of eating and drinking whatever I wanted (this was planned) I was able to cold turkey get straight back into my usual diet. (Which I was only on for about 7 weeks prior to the holiday). Woohoo for self control!

    My middle goal jeans fit me perfectly.

    I'm starting to attract attention again.

    I feel sexy!

    I can wrap the ties of my apron so that they tie in front.

    I did do a bit of shopping yesterday and regrettably I did buy a size too small just so I'd slim down into it :( (it only just fits me right now)

    Talking of NSV's I've refused to weigh myself for over a week and a half and I've lost an inch off my waist wahoo!

    I took up swimming again. It was so fun that I swam 6 days last week for an hour. I also got over my fear of being seen in a bathing suit.

    Standing up straight, I can look down and see my toes. First time in years!

    I also need a pedicure.

    I did my first Sprint Tri last week! I've been thinking about doing one for years and was afraid to be in front of people with a tri suit on (they show everything)... Well, I finally decided I could do it. So glad I did!!! I want to move up to an Olympic Tri now:)

    This was a bit of an NSV filled weekend for me!
    - Went out for dinner on Friday with one of my friends and even afterwards my size 18 pants kept slipping down. When I got home I pulled out a pair of size 16 jeans I've been hauling around the last 5 years and they fit! They're a little muffin-toppy but the fact that they zipped was insane. Even 2 months ago they wouldn't go halfway up my thigh.
    - Saturday I wore a tank top out to a festival without feeling weird about my arms. It was too hot to care lol.
    - Sunday I put on my high school jeans that were alllllwayyysss snug on me even when they "fit" the cut was super snug in the front. They are now swimming on me, I can pull them down without unbuttoning them. They had just started fitting right 3 months ago.
    - With that came the realization that my belt is way too big. It wraps halfway around me again by the time I finish buckling. I was able to buy a belt in a normal store last night! For the first time EVER.
    - Went to Target yesterday and saw a super cute lace dress in a size 14. Something told me to try it on and it zipped! I haven't worn a dress in a size 14 since...my freshman/sophomore year of high school. Well over 10 years ago. It's a shame there was a big snag in the dress from someone else.

    This is huge for me. I just got home from the gym where I ran a mile and a half straight without walking. Seriously, I've never run a mile straight before! Today was week 5 day 3 of c25k and most of my running has been outdoors but the humidity has been so bad I decided to do this run inside. Honestly, I might've been able to keep going! I'm so stoked!

    I'm just starting out again after falling off the wagon for a bit, but my ankles aren't swelling that much anymore! Also, I'm just generally feeling better. I'm happier!

    Someone bought me pajamas in the size I thought would fit. The pants were falling off, even with the drawstring. Yay!!!!!!!

    Two things: 1) I followed along with a 25-minute dance cardio video yesterday and not only did I keep up, I didn't even feel like I was dying. (Buy oy, I have sore muscles in places I had forgotten about today!)

    2) I'm wearing a shirt that I had been unable to even get over my head...and not only that, I'm wearing it without a single lump, bump or bulge to be seen. They still exist, mind you, it's just that the shirt actually fits and hangs straight without clinging to any of them. :blush:

    My NSV today is all of you guys! I'll admit that I kinda fell off the wagon and haven't been tracking cals (or working out- AT ALL) for the last month or so. I'll blame it on getting busy, etc... but the reality is I was just lazy.

    I just planned my summer VK (Sturgis! here I come!) and got the motivation to kick back into gear. I knew the first thing I had to do was hit this post to hear all the great things. I've been reading now for four hours (oops... don't tell my boss) and i KNOW that I can get back on track.

    My temporary NSV that made me realize that I need to get going again-- my bf made a comment that I only weigh 140lbs. (reality: 165lbs honest; 155 if you ask my DL). I want to hit that weight to show him that I CAN!

    Oh oh...one more thing! On Saturday I ran for 24.5 minutes straight! Varied speed between 4.7 and 5.0 to keep it interesting lol.

    Being able to fully put on a pair of jeans that I previously couldn't get past my thighs and finding they are actually a little baggy! That and my muffin top isn't totally spilling out of them either!

    Thanks!
    I really haven't got and end of the year tally in mind. I would hope at this rate another 600 or 700... I do other things too and I have rest days.
