Here's the obligatory photo from the scale :)
I will expand more on my thoughts from this month when I do my video... but definitely my loss was slower this month. Challenges? I was sick with strep and ear infection. Lost 2 lbs during that time but they stayed gone so I think they were real. Had the never-ending period, it finally ended... for only a week and a half, and now it's back :( Yesterday I was cranky, felt down, felt hungry, craved sweet things more. Should have known. Welcome back dear monthly visitor. Don't you know you are 2 weeks early? So... at least I understand the scale. Things were going down again and I got to 220.5 but then yesterday and the day before were 221-222. Whyyyyyy??? Now I know why :-P I have continued with my workouts and eating well so I knew the gain wasn't "real", but I thought maybe it was from building muscle with personal training. That may be part of it but I sure know that it is probably water retention due to getting my period again. Sigh.
At any rate, 9 lbs for the months is still awesome. It's the least I've had so far and I am definitely battling that fear that it is slowing way down now... but I am keeping my head in the game and hoping it will pick up slightly again. I am 11 pounds from losing 100 lbs, and I wanted to hit that mark by the time I hit 6 months. So my goal for this month is to meet or exceed 11 pounds lost. :) I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen!! Has 3 workouts already this week (Sun,Mon,Thurs) and have two more planned (Fri, Sun)soon :) Missed yesterday because I was so tired/cranky/down... at least now I know there was a reason.
So! Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back with my progress photos and video!
Now just a little more about clothes :) Again. LOL
Normally I wouldn't shop for clothes twice in one week. However, I went to another JC Penney trying to find the white vest in black (website says 'no longer available'), and I wanted to get the pink/grey striped hoodie in the purple/grey combo too. I found the hoodie, but not the vest. Fortunately I found another vest that I love even MORE!!! It's warmer and more suitable for the cold, which I will be needing because I am always cold now. It is size XL. I also bought one more long sleeve shirt, black/white stripes, in size LARGE!!! And two sweaters, in size LARGE!!! You could have knocked me over with a feather. I know it's just different pieces fitting differently, but it was awesome to find out I can wear XL, and then L, in the same week :-D
Here's my new stuffs...
The vest fits like a glove and makes me feel so thin. Plus it's warm and COZY! It turned cold when I was in the store (67 when I went in, 52 when I came out an hour later) so I wore it :) 52 felt like winter freeze... so I am reaaaaallly going to be in trouble when it's in the 20's and 30's. Ahhhh!
I also got some clothes from my sister in law. I didn't take pics of most of them but thought I would show off this cute dress:
It's a size XL from Target. Their other stuff doesn't fit me, so that's weird. But anyway... I have no idea if I'll get to wear this dress to anything during the time it fits me, but if so, at least it's hanging in my closet. :) She was just going to get rid of it anyway. Maybe if we go to a nice dinner out sometime soon I can wear a jacket over it. It might still be too cold though.
I finally lost some inches off my upper arm this month. About 1 1/2" I think. It was about the same for 3 months so YAY! I think in the above photo of the black dress, I can tell my arm is smaller. Whoooo!
That's it for now, back with Part Two soon!
