Weight Loss for the Week: 1lb
Yay! More than half a pound!!! Aside from indulging in a few too many pumpkin goodies this weekend, I was pretty good and stayed on track with my points, etc. this week. I planned ahead with breakfast, lunch and dinner and worked out a few times during the week. And it paid off, I am almost at the 60lb mark and that is so exciting, I just can't stand it.
I bought two new pairs of jeans this weekend since my other two pairs were literally falling off of me. I shrank them, had them hemmed, etc. but they were just too baggy and it was time to admit I needed new jeans. It was a weird experience, I must say. I've gone down about three sizes and the jeans I was trying on seemed far too small before trying them on. Lo and behold, they fit and looked good. It was such a validating moment. I mean, I'm not sure people who have not experienced significant weight gain or weight loss would understand how it feels. My old jeans are very large and stretched out and my new jeans looked like they were half the size (they're not, but that's how it felt) so I was honestly surprised they fit. I have been wearing them ever since :) And I'm excited to wear them to school tomorrow for the first jeans day of the year. Then, I'll get them hemmed sometime soon since I'm short and almost never find anything petite.
The week was otherwise pretty good, school was fine, got to have dinner with a few friends and decorated my classrooms for Halloween this morning :) I am so stoked for fall. I love the weather, the holidays, all the pumpkin-flavored goodies, etc.! And I'm already thinking of how I will carve my pumpkin this year. More on that later.
Tips for the week: Stick to food goals, especially during the week. Make time for exercise.
Now, time to unwind and do a little pleasure reading before bed.
