My Weight Loss Journey...

Being between a rock and a hard place..

So I made it through the holidays.  Granted I have been sick for almost two weeks at this point, but I made it nonetheless and came out weighing less than I did going in.  Bronchitus and a stomach virus do wonders for your weight loss.  I weighed myself Monday and was shocked at the 193.4 that looked back at me.  Three days post-illness and eating normally, I'm at 193.9.  Which is fine with me, because as of January 3rd I am back on track full force!

For Christmas I got a plethora of weight loss tools and motivators including a myotape (a measuring tape to measure inches), a food scale and a weight watchers scale that measures percentages of a pound (hence my .9 weigh-in).  I also got some clothes and giftcards to use to buy new clothes.

The frustrating part is I have shopped at three different stores in the past few nights and have not bought anything but a jacket (which I am now a proud XL in the regular sized stuff at Old Navy!).  Apparently I'm between sizes, and not just with shirts and pants, but EVERYTHING - even underwear and bras.  It's ridiculous.  Forty one pounds down, my clothes look terrible.  But I refuse to buy anything too small and I won't spend money on clothes that are too big - I'd rather keep the stuff I have.

So that's my story.  Twenty-five pounds away from reaching my next goal.  Maybe I can do it in three months?
