I am so happy with my creativity in the kitchen these days.
I think up recipes, and they end up tasting as good as I imagined...
I made/created an awesomely yummy broccoli and chicken soup today.
Its uber nutritious and awesomely filling....I had to keep checking and calculating the nutrient values over and over, to make sure I am not inadvertently eating a fattening soup.
Wow....I feel so encouraged, great tasting food, that I will eat for years to come...It tastes that good.

I am noticing that the dark circles under my eyes have faded significantly...hmmm healthy eating and exercise probably helped I guess , who would have thunk it?

Took a friend stand up paddling boarding. My water shorts that have been too small for a few years fit well. The ladies ones. I'm too small for the pair of men's water shorts I also have!

Last week I didn't log at all - sometimes I hate being online all.the.time. But I was mindful of my meals, even took my lunch to 3 full days of departmental training. I still fit in 4 days of walking the dog, despite the heat & humidity. And I am starting to log again today.

I got my dogs ready to go for a walk on Saturday and when we stepped out it was raining. It had been cloudy all day but I didn't realize that it had started to rain. I didn't want to disappoint the dogs by turning right around and going inside so we loaded up in the car and went to get some gasoline. I figured they would at least be happy to go for a ride. On the way home it seemed to be raining lighter so I went ahead and stopped at the park. By that time it was sprinkling and we only did 1/2 a mile, but the old me wouldn't have even considered walking in the rain. I probably would have walked more if I'd been by myself, but I didn't really want to come home with 2 drenched and stinky dogs.

Just today I was able to take off my pants and pull them back up with out unbuttoning!! Pants shopping here I come!! Whoop!!!
AND over the weekend I wore leggings and a t-shirt... in public.. and got told I looked skinny.

Wearing pants from start in may until this weekend, all at once! Even with 3 pairs of jeans underneath my original pants were still loose!

I went from running 1:00 minute to running a mile and half today. It's my goal to be able to run 5k by October!

I had a healthy breakfast today ( I usually skip) of oatmeal with flax and chia seeds and dried apricots and I actually thought while I was eating it "this is delicious!" Then while I was doing my yoga workout I was finally able to do a right angle pose with grip. First time I could get my hands to meet.

Fit into prepregnancy bras even though scales haven't shifted

I took the dogs out earlier today and was walking around the yard as usual and decided to stop and go sit down. I glanced at my phone to see how much longer until I took them in and said, "Nah, I'll keep going. There is only eight minutes left." Then kept walking until the eight minutes were up.

Since measuring myself last week I have lost 1 inch off my hips, 1 inch off my stomach, 1 inch off my upper right arm, a half an inch on my left forearm and half an inch on my right forearm.

I donated a whole garbage bag of clothes, because they were too big
Now, shopping, which I have mixed feelings about, I used to know exactly which size to get where, but I don't anymore, especially with vanity sizing running rampant xD

Enjoying holidays - even though not able to log every day due to sketchy internet periodically - am still being mindful of what I am eating. When I think I am a little over my normal eating routine - like this morning - I will log (if I can) just to force myself to check.
Keeping it real and keeping it honest.

My work scrubs were too tight 9 days ago, to the point where I gave up and went back into my closet and dug out my bigger size. Well I washed and dried the smaller size (like I do with all my clothes) and when I put them on today, I had room in the thighs, and I didn't feel like I packed into the top, I have room there too! 9 days of eating right and 8 days of exercise has helped me get comfortably back into my work clothes. It was just the motivation I needed. Now, I'm thinking "if I did that in 9 days, just think of what I can do in 90!"

went shopping for jeans for fall and family pictures and down to a 6 from a 10 back in the fall.
