In exciting news, I got a new job! They called the Friday before Memorial Day and wanted me to start as soon as possible, so my last day at my current job was yesterday, June 5. I was there for 2 years and 1 month. This new job is going to be so much more convenient in so many ways. I hope they appreciate me a lot more than my last job did...
Anyway, yeah. My schedule is crazy now because I have to deal with a lot of issues with my grandmother, and I often don't eat dinner till 9 pm now. I haven't done cardio at the gym in ages because I have no time. I feel like I live in the car (with a broken AC two years in a row that costs way too much to fix). I actually lost weight in May....yet, I ate really badly these past two days, so I need to cleanse my body (HI WATER AND VEGGIES WITH EVERY MEAL) and get back on track.
But for now, let's focus on May!
May weight loss: 4 pounds
2014 weight loss: 13 pounds
Total weight loss: 54 pounds
WOOOOOOOHOOOOO!!!! Let's hope I didn't screw that up these past couple days. I have a lot going on this weekend anyway, so I'll probably burn that diner chicken parm dinner off....WHAT, IT WAS DELICIOUS AND I TOOK HALF OF IT HOME EVEN THOUGH I HAD UNOS DEEP DISH PIZZA LAST NIGHT.
Sigh. Let's look at some pictures!
I never had a chance to get my husband to do the normal pictures, and I didn't feel like digging for my jeans. But these drawstring capris have really gotten loose since 2012, and I see just how much looser the shirt is as well. Sorry for the awkwardness, but it's the only full length mirror in the house.
Not one of my typical shots (dirty mirror and no bra? So hot), but I thought it was worth documenting (especially when comparing it to January) .
Being able to try on a dress over my pants in the Forever 21 dressing room? Amazing.
Of course I bought it, are you crazy?? All hail bright colors!
Oh hey, just lost 52 POUNDS and am in my favorite denim skirt and Twin Peaks shirt!
Finally able to wear this peplum top I got last year and my stretchy black pencil skirt from 5 years ago.
Mostly selfies this month. Isn't our bedroom wall color spectacular?
Right before my interview...I was scared to death. Please note this is my lucky blazer, as I wore this to the interview of my last job.
Full interview outfit. Went a little more conservative with my nail color and covering tats just in case. I'll see just how relaxed a place it is in that regard on Monday! Really freakin nervous, BTW.
Clothes from the past couple years hanging off me.
I will wear these shorts to run to the supermarket or something now. A miracle. But running in them? NO.
Seriously, I don't have to tilt the camera anymore, and my glasses are large on my face, and my collarbone is really starting to be revealed, and I'm just so not used to this...I'm thrilled, but it's just so weird!
You know what? This was the motivation I needed to be active and eat well this weekend. Here's hoping the new job isn't as sedentary as the last one. I need a new battery for my FitBit, and we'll see what happens!
I really would like to post more, hopefully life will start calming down in a couple weeks. Hopefully I'll get to the 2009 Weight Watchers plateau number soon (2 more pounds), and then I'll be so freakin close to a humongous goal. Seriously though, this is the most weight I've ever lost in my life. I CAN DO THIS. I want nothing more than to be able to do this! I have to keep remembering that my health and fitness is a priority and not an afterthought.
I am so happy for you. It's sou d's and looks like you are finally seeing in your self what I saw ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL those years again. Keep it going. your doing great and looking amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou CAN do this! :-D You are so motivating. Love this post, fingers crossed for you to get to the humongous goal!
