Time to go shopping!!!
I have a ton of unused gift cards from last Christmas. Of course I was pregnant then so I wasn’t going to go buy clothes for my non-pregnant self. Then I refused to buy clothes until I reached my goal weight. I had to buy a few things that fit me so that I could get dressed every day, but not a lot. So now, seven and a half months after Alexis was born I am at my goal weight!! I weigh what I did when I got married and that’s 10 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight. So now I can go spend all that money I have and get some cute things for my trip to Hawaii!!!
Now the trick is to not let myself slowly creep back up!!!!!
Keeping myself accountable
I went to Jenny Craig this morning to weigh in. I hadn’t gone in 2 weeks so I was overdue. Those 2 weeks were not good diet weeks. With the surgery and being at my mom’s house etc, I just wasn’t good. I know those are excuses but its true! So I didn’t do as badly as I had thought and I only gained 8oz (yay!). I was expecting it to be more like 2 pounds! That’s a lesson to me though that the diet gods may not be so nice next time around. So I need to re-focus myself and really be good and eat the JC foods and not cheat!!!
Hopefully by next weeks’s weigh-in I will have lost those 8oz plus more!!!
On a positive note, I truly cannot wear my size 14 shorts anymore. Those are the shorts that I bought immediately after having the baby and being sick and tired of maternity clothes. I was horrified at having to buy 14s, but there it was. Slowly I have gone down, I bought a pair of size 12s but never bought any 10s. I have recently bought 2 size 8s (woo-hoo!!) They’re a bit snug but they fit. I put on the 14s today to go out and they are literally falling off. I have to pull them up every 5 seconds – not comfy. So I am almost back to my pp size 6 and I can’t wait!!!!!
