Apparently due to my pregnancy, I am completely turned off by sweets. I find myself curling my lip in disgust at things I used to pine for. I simply don't want them nor have any interest in them. Even took a bite of my favorite chocolate the other day, spit it back out, and nearly dry heaved.
Thank you, baby! Lmao

Or you could have a fructose problem like I do. Eat more than a few bites of ice cream or one homemade cookie, and you'll get a massive hangover and feel rotten. I don't miss the caramel sauces and gooey cakes as much as I miss pears and strawberries and honey.
When my dad married my stepmom, I was 13 years old and already bigger than she was. I was a very chubby kid but also she's 5'3" and I am 5'8".
Anyway, this past week she bought some pants on clearance that were too big for her size 8 figure (size 10) and I said hey, I might want them. They fit well. Cracked me up and definitely counted as an NSV for me, especially since I wore plus sizes by the time I was 15.
I've been completely vegan for two weeks. Very excited. And I am feeling less bloated and my mind is more clear. Who knew giving up dairy, gluten and corn could do so much.
Found out I did not get a job I had applied for at work which would have involved a promotion. While I am disappointed (and a little angry, if I'm being honest), I didn't try to self-soothe using alcohol and food. Instead, I am channeling those emotions to fuel my workouts at the gym.
- my belt has become too big, I had some extra holes punched
- down another size in clothing, I've reached the magic size "42", so no longer wearing "plus size", I can now start shopping in regular brands and stores! Well, that's the theory anyway, not sure how C&A sizes compare to other brands
- I don't feel entirely disgusted anymore when I catch a glimpse of my figure in a window for example. Still a lot of room for improvement, but quite happy anyway.
- I am officially in size 10 pants!! Which hasn't been a thing since.... jr.high???
-There space between my thighs & they don't rub together when I walk anymore.
-I feel much better about my legs/thighs in general. I used to mainly wear long shirts that hide my chunky upper thigh/hip area. Now, I'm getting shorter shirts and even half tucking my longer ones, making my legs look longer. I actually feel like I can pull off dressing trendy now! Not just with "what works"
I was very concerned with losing my bust and glute size if I was closer to my ideal weight (doctor says 100lbs for my build and height 4'11" and on Asian American bmi chart so please don't judge). Today a new student was admiring my body with a big smile exclaimed, "She's thick!" I thought they were calling me fat but teens are saying "thick" means curvy in a good way. I looked in the mirror and saw a shadow between my pectoral muscles so I guess the increased reps of chest flys with 12 lbs weights are working. My glutes still look plump in my size 2 jeans so one legged deadlifts too are working. I took pics but can't figure out how to post and you can barely see the shadow... it keeps saying failed to upload...
I rode the 4 miles to the station this morning and didn't feel as if I had done any exercise. My HRM told me I had only burnt 68 calories. Still made my train, similar time to when I used to arrive sweaty and out of breath when I started cycling 6 months ago.
I realised that I needed new work clothes (which is a NSV in itself). I walked into a normal shop, picked out two dresses in a (UK) size 12 and took them to the changing room. They both fit with no issues at all (even the fairly tailored one). It's been years since I've had such a painless shopping trip without the realisation that things look far better on a hanger than on my body!
I'm on light duty at work, which now means I sit in an office chair in a control/security monitoring room for 12 hours, rather than walking 75% of my day. I'm used to climbing 35+ flights of stairs a day on my shift, now I just sit.
I can't stand it. I feel so lazy. And I had to cut my calories to inactive job type rather than active. I don't like that lol. I like to eat.
So, while I'm keeping my calories where they are for the time being, I have a timer set on my fitbit for 20 minutes.
Every time it goes off, I get up, step out of view of the camera, and do 25 jumping jacks, 5 body weight squats, and run in place for a minute. Time permitting, of course. It won't always be exactly every 20 minutes because of phone calls, etc.
3 times per hour times 12 hours. I'm hoping it helps offset some of this activity change.
Excuse the funny angle and messy room, this is not a Valentine's outfit...
I had a brunch meeting with a a board member who loves to clean out her closet, and she gave me bag of clothing, including a dress in size 10 (and these stunning heels).
I'm an L top, 14 pants, and here it is!! 5 dress sizes and 2 shoe sizes down.
And to think, I could zip it up after some Valentine's Day Nutella crepes. 😂

This made me slightly jealous @brittanystebbins95
But not jealous enough to get pregnant.
Me neither! HAHA!

That's the spirit!

I don't think I've ever seen my abs, would be nice to see them for the first time
