Renewed Strength

I have to say I'm pretty proud. For the last month I've been struggling to reach past this plateau. As you recall I reached 256.8 and stayed there at the very start of September. I've tried really hard to eat well but have been so stressed out it just wasn't happening.


On Friday I realized I had gotten down to 260, through the whole month I was about 263-265, seeing this drop got me motivated. Saturday morning I came in to work to see parts of the office reorganized, after 2 Symply Magic I felt very energized and decided to "fix" the rest of the office. After rearranging a few things and running around like a mad woman I oddly didn't feel phased. Saturday night I stepped on the scale and was amazed, I was down to 256.2. Yes I struggled this month, Yes I should be farther along, but I'm back on track and that's what matters right?!


Also of note this weekend, I decided to clean out my closet. I wanted to make sure any clothes I have that are too big don't find a way to weasel into my heart and hide in there. That's just asking for a relapse! 


Since I started this journey I really couldn't tell a difference in my body. Yes my clothes felt loose, but I couldn't fit comfortably into smaller sizes. With jeans my waist area stayed tight and my thigh area got very loose. I thought that was just because I was wearing them all day. Turns out I'm losing all my weight at my knees (weird right?). I have this fantastic pair of pregnancy pants (never been pregnant just very comfy in the waist), very cute. Since they day I bought them I couldn't fit in them, don't ask why I bought them, wishful thinking? My thighs were always too big and I couldn't get them up all the way. 


This weekend that all changed, I saw the jeans and with my renewed sense of self decided what the heck right? I slid the jeans on and OMG they fit! It absolutely amazed me, they fit perfectly! I then decided I was going to try on the shorts I bought this summer that never fit correctly because I have wide hips, amazingly they fit as well. 


I am literally on a high today, it's nice to see that I really am changing my body, that I am getting ahead, slowly but surely.
