Did I mention that I've lost even more weight??? I am now at 134 lbs. okay like 134.5 lbs! But my numbers are dropping and that is always exciting. The above pictures are the items of clothing that I use to be able to fit into. The dress is a size 4 Calvin Klein, and I use to wear this dress flawlessly. One Sunday I pulled out this dress to wear for church, my husband ironed it for me and everything. I went to put the dress on and I could only button the top three buttons. That's when reality set in and I realized that I needed to do something about my weight. I had no idea that I gained that much weight. As you can see, I can now button the dress all the way down, but in my midsection there is some tugging. In my other picture I am wearing a pair of BKE Jeans, size 28 low cut . Last summer I couldn't hardly squeeze these suckers past my thighs. Now I can pull them on and button them. However they give me a pretty bad muffin top (I think because they're a low cut) and they're very snug on my rumpshaker. LOL For both of these items I think if I lost 5 more lbs (which is my goal weight for now) I will fit in them perfectly. I just need to keep toning and shrinking. How am I gonna do that?
Well last week I attended a Butts and Guts workout group. It was intense. I don't think I had enough water in my system because I felt like I was getting a little bit dizzy. Maybe it was the florescent lighting in the room? I don't know. What I do know is that the next day I could barely sit on my butt because it was sooooo incredibly sore. I even asked my husband to massage my butt ahhahaa. I was sore for about 3 days in so many places. I loved it. I did. I finished and didn't give in, I didn't quite or whine (until I was sore the next day) and I plan on going back again. This week I was suppose to go to more fitness classes but on Friday I got my wisdom teeth pulled and they wouldn't let me exercise for 7 days. Today is day 8 so I plan on running a few miles.
This experience is all new for me. I feel the change in my thinking and in my living. I watch what I eat, how much I eat. I drink plenty of water now and I like exercising. I mean don't get me wrong I have days when I just don't want to do it, but overall I want to, and I need to. There is such a feeling of accomplishment and then when you start seeing the change it pushes you even more and it makes it so worth it!
YES!
