Must be doing something right!

I have always had to buy the biggest size in jackets, coats, etc. a few reasons for this, my breast were always too big but since last years breast reduction... Shirts have fit better but not jackets still. However, I am down 25 lbs and last night I purchased a jean jacket at Old Navy. I put the xxl on like usual and it seemed.... Too big. So I thought, no way am I able to wear a smaller jacket. Wrong! I fit on the xl!!!!!! I know it is a small feat but any woman with bigger tatas knows this is a huge feat! Jackets are hard to fit properly and I went down a whole size. So excited!

Making Progress

Happy Daylight Savings Time!
Losing a hour of sleep makes me happy because it means spring is near!

Today was a great day! I have been doing the AdvoCare 24 day challenge. So far I have lost about 2lbs, but more than that I feel really good! I am still planning on doing weight watchers long term... I love it, but I wanted to try something different and see how it worked for me. With WW I am down 20 lbs, but I have seen how AdvoCare is working for my friends and thought, there are no rules to finding what works for me! Anyway, I was able to eat some great speakers today at an AdvoCare event and this company sounds just like something I want to associate myself with. We shall see how the next 21 days to and I will try and keep everyone posted.

In an effort to continue preparing my weeks for success I decided to take all the veggies I bought this week and blanch them for freezing. I have a tendency to not used veggies quick enough... Or they just go bad, and I lose a lot of money. So I want to try this method to save money and time! Everything is prepared now and I am hopeful for the week. I also used the water I blanched all of the veggies in and saved it as "homemade vegetable broth".

On a completely unrelated note: I love, love, love Justin Timberlake on SNL! I also dig seeing all the oldies!

Have a great weekend!

Making sure to stick with it!

So it has been a rough couple weeks with eating right. I've managed to maintain but haven't lost too much. I did OK today, but I am planning on hitting the gym again tomorrow. I honestly have missed it!!! I just can't catch a break at work. But never the less, I think it is more about recognizing than it is having to overachieve. I recognize that I need to do my routines at all possible times. I also recognize that there will be detours and it is ok as long as I know I have to jumbo back in the saddle again...quickly!

This is why I hate shows like Biggest loser. It is easy to eat right and stay in shape when you have a stocked kitchen and nothing else to worry about or change plans of working out.
So I'm off to bed to dream and wake up refreshed and ready to continue to embrace Weight Watches and my successes the last 2 months!!! Wow, 2 months!!!! Yay me!
