Four and a half months in at this point..guess I have to reach the first year before I consider this a true life-style change. For right now, I'm pretty proud of myself for getting back on the horse after the holidays with such ease. This weekend was dicey - there was beer, there were boneless wings, there was dips and delicious desserts. And Sunday was a nightmare between all the leftovers. But I stayed within limits on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday (Tuesday I was good until dinnertime). I even was good during our snow day off from work - after shoveling, I walked to the fitness center and worked out as hard as I could with the five machines they provide. I'm up to 30 minutes on the elliptical and can run 6 out of 10 minutes. I still need to strive with running though, it's pretty pathetic.
So, the 193.4 that I hit during the stomach virus was hard to keep. The lowest I've gotten down to since then is 194.1 - now I'm 195.7 because I'm waiting for my damn period to come. As soon as I get it I usually lose 4 lbs. One thing I like about this life style change is that you really get to know your body.
As far as clothes sizes - I'm not quite a size 14 in woman's sizes, but a 16 is too big. I'm definitely a 14/16 - but another 10-20 lbs should get me out of plus size altogether. I'm thinking around 180 will do it. At Old Navy a XXL is waayy too big, but an XL is a bit snug. The two new jackets I bought are XL though, which is pretty cool.
So that's my story. More next time.
