double mile-stone month!

Yeah! I hit -65 today! (getting right down to it) despite having the hardest time ever switching down to 23 points, daily. I apparently am very good at 24 points. But I must try harder! I have someone visiting this week though, so maybe if I try really hard I can maintain.. Haha!

So, I have a couple things to talk about this week:

Something amusing occurred to me this week, while I'm working out, during oblique exercises, I'm finding that there less stretching along with me. Meaning... love handles are starting to go away. Which is a very strange feeling! A wonderfully strange thing, but it doesn't feel right, or, the same. Absolutely blows my mind. I love losing weight!

So I've been complaining lately to my mom about how I have nothing to wear except for my work shirts (which are getting too big too) and how I have nothing I can wear to church because everything it falling off me (as I was trying not to buy winter clothes since I am moving before next winter and all of last years shirts are XXL) So she decided to take me to the outlets to buy some new clothes (winter sales are awesome, btw.) and I knew I needed to start getting a Large at Old Navy, but then when I was trying on an XL at AT Loft... it was way too big. I was shocked. Even when I tried on at Banana Republic I took larges. I'VE LOST A SHIRT SIZE! Yahoo!!! So big thank you to mom for buying me a new wardrobe. I love losing weight.

Ease on Down

Not really a whole lot to say this week, knocked down 2 more lbs, which brings us to -63.... Which is a big milestone for me. It's how much I weighed in high school (though I could swear I looked better then...) when I was on the "low carb" diet of fail. But anyway, I'm SUPER excited to have hit this weight, I haven't been here in, oh, 8 years, so it's very exciting! :) my 16s are starting to fit very nicely which for me is the next step to them being too big, but i'm not nearly to THAT point quite yet. :) 30 more lbs (tentatively) for this road block! Woo!

Until next week!

The Difference in Me

Good morning! I had one awful week, but not the kind of stress that didn't make me not want to do anything, but work even harder. That, on top of other reasons... is why I'm here to tell you I dropped 4 lbs. But, I maintained last week, so i guess this just kinda makes up for it. But it's still kinda fun to drop that kind of weight in one week. I was kind of worried that I would get off schedule for a little bit. What was my big thing this week? Zumba: Flat Abs. Hahaha! Okay, so if you know me, you know that my middle is my problem area. So I guess I feel better working one specific area. Well, when I came across a day when my Sculpt and Tone DVD wasn't working, I did Flat Abs twice (it's only like, 20 minutes) and let me tell you how my muscles did not thank me. but I thought I'd give the idea one more try (because I need help in the brain, or something) and I'm actually feeling fine today! Thats very exciting. Flat Abs is the funnest of the Zumba series for me. And I'm loving the results... Sooo... this might be a growing trend :)

Ok, now we're back

ok, so last week was a bomb because new years, and "2nd christmas" at my house... sooo I'm happy to say I maintained, sad to say I am not closer to -60 quite yet. but the month is young and so am I.

So you probably expect me to do a "new years" type post, but I'm actually going to hold off on that for the beginning of next month, for the anniversary of my blog and the start of the road block challenge :)

Until next week!
