Chugging Along

Finals week is now underway... to alleviate some of the stress of the events, I have decided to focus on the, well, amusing things that shrinking causes...

First of all: Nearly all of my clothes, no longer fit! Of course I have some sentimental clothes from when I was a stick figure but, they have camped in the closet nonetheless.  As I got ready for school on Thursday I announced that I had nothing to wear (which is my weekly statement on Sundays) but this time I had nothing to wear for school. I tried on multiple clothes, and then decided literally nothing fits.... so of course... Sassy me, decided to try on my wedding dress.... It once again fits!

Also, I decided to try on the blouse and skirt combo that my dearest Aunt Wendy bought me for my wedding, I haven't been able to fit into the outfit since a year into our marriage, would be my guess..... I wore this ensemble to church today, and both the skirt, and the shirt, are too big! I now have substantial reason to believe that I NOW WEIGH LESS THAN I DID WHEN I GOT MARRIED......Here is my photo to prove  my case:

My sister also just called and asked about my weight loss progress... I asked her how much she weighs.... I now weigh less than her.... by several pounds!!! I have never ever weighed less than her.

Also, remember how I mentioned the confusion whether or not I was in the "overweight" category and no longer in the obese category because the weight loss program has two separate, contradictory materials regarding this, so I called nutrition support. They had no idea what I was talking about and instructed me to use the BMI calculator on the CDC website... So I did, and discovered that I hit the "overweight" category several weeks ago!

My miniature goal was to hit the 170's by mothers day... So I snuck in a check with Mr. Scale on Friday.... to discover.... THAT THIS GOAL HAD BEEN!!!

But since Mondays are my official weigh in days.... I now weigh a grand total of  177 pounds! I am within a 30 pounds of my goal weight!
