Happy July 4th!
Happy July 4th, my fellow shrinkers!
Do you have any big plans for the day?
We’re laying low until this afternoon when we will join my BFF Lauren and her family for an evening dinner, fireworks and family sleepover. The kids are beyond excited and so am I.
The menu includes a “few” items that are NOT on my healthy list of foods to eat (those darn margaritas!) but I know this ahead of time and I am planning accordingly:
- light breakfast- CHECK
- moderate lunch’
- light snack in the afternoon prior to heading to Lauren’s
- drink TONS of water- in process
- exercise- CHECK (I even doubled up!)
Normally, I would say “screw it” and eat and drink whatever I want. However, I am going to attempt to control myself and not go overboard. I have new, renewed motivation. Do you want to know what it is?
I went shopping last night to buy a few clothes to wear for Blogher. I’m not a big fan of shopping right now because I am no where I want to be size why. However, I wanted to have more than tank shirts and shorts to wear for the conference. Even though my weight loss is moving at a snail’s pace, I must be doing something right because lo and behold, the capri pants and bermuda shorts I bought were one size smaller than the previous time I shopped. I hesitate to type this because I am just easing into this size but I am confident that I will be fully wearing this size within the next few weeks.
Size 12
Now we all know not all clothes are created equal and some size 12′s here may fit me, while other size 12′s do not. That is OK. I am wearing Size 12′s as I type this and IT FEELS AWESOME. I can even breathe in them and I’m not worried about my zipper busting.
Happy July 4th everyone! It is definitely a happy one here.
