Exercise is trucking along!
Went to the Y 3 times this week, including this morning. So I am shooting for 3-4 times per week this year of going to the Y. The other days I have been on Wii Fit Plus, doing my Gazelle, a couple of walks with the dog, etc. Today is 8 days in a row of 10k steps! (I am currently at 9100 and it is only 6pm.) My food has been good all week. I did eat one donut late the other evening and felt SO guilty about it all night and the next day. My calories have been 1300 to 1400 per day for a week now. I had a coupon for Chicos (womens clothing store.) Their sizes are different: 12/14 is a size 2 there. Then they have a 1.5. 8/10 is a size 1. So assuming a 10/12 is a 1.5. My black pants that I had gotten in Florida with my Dad and stepmom were a size 2. I get compliments all the time when I wear them! They are like stretchy jeans. Today, I had a coupon for $25 off and bought a new sweater (Spring Green) and a pair of gray stretchy jeans, size 1.5! Woo Hoo! And I looked in the mirror and went "YESSSSS!!!!!" People looked at me funny and I don't care! I got my hair cut a few weeks ago and have bangs and also got a touch up on my color. I have had several compliments lately about my hair and a woman from karate didn't recognize me right away and said I look younger. And several other people came up and said "Are you losing weight?" So I am saying that this past week was GREAT! (except for stress at work.) I am feeling better about myself than I have for a long, long time! I also bought a really nice necklace and earrings! Can't wait to have somewhere to wear my new outfit! Yes, yes, yes!!! I cannot believe how great it feels to get new clothes! I have not felt like this in over 10 years! To look at myself in the mirror and feel like I actually like myself, sort of, LOL! At least I don't look in the mirror and feel fat and ugly anymore! A few more weeks I think and I will be in my size 10s. I actually starting taking some older, and bigger clothes out of the closet and in a bag for Goodwill!
