Hot For The Holidays - Week 10



Hot for the Holidays


OK, the good news is this - I did not gain weight on my vacation. In fact, I actually lost nearly a whole pound!

And the GREAT news is this - I lost 3 pounds this week!!! for a total of 3.7 pounds down!!!!! Oooooh yeah!!!

And, the super fantabulous news is this - as I had been hovering around the 15 pound mark before I went on vacation, this puts me OVER 15 POUNDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



That is what I am talking about!

Now, we are supposed to tell what our "Ah Ha" moment was and how it inspired us to lose the weight.

My moment was when I had to buy a shirt for family photos in the plus size section ...


... and then had to buy a complete outfit for Sophie's adoption in the plus size store.


And then when I compared the pics of me at Hattie's adoption (in which I had lost 35 pounds)...

... to those at Sophie's adoption (in which I had gained all of them back!). OK, someone tie me to a treadmill and set it on high!!!

My good ah ha moment came when I went to said store to buy an outfit for the wedding and everything was too big!!!! Now, granted, the stuff in the regular sections were still a little snug, so I did end up buying from that store, but SuperModel had to lend me a belt to make the dress work!!!!

Plus, the jeans that I bought before the trip, that were a bit snug, I wore them babies on the airplane home! Yep, they are that comfy now!!!

SNAP!

So, how did you do?!?!

Good job!

I lost 1.5 pounds this week, but I think I finally broke through my plateau. Hopefully next week will be just as good for both of us!

I am proud of you RS. I know there have been times you have been discouraged, but you are looking great! And what's more important is the inside- cuz that shines through making you even more beautiful (regardless of your size being up a few or down a few pounds). Keep it up! This will spill over into other areas of your life.

Yay!!! I am so proud of you! But I must say that you look so beautiful in all of the picts that I don't even notice the difference in weight. But the weight loss does make you physical feel soooo much better. It makes you feel more alive and balanced, and for that I give you a standing ovation, sister!
much love
