I managed to lose 5 more pounds sometime in the last month. Yay!! Almost to the 160's. :> 5 more pounds and I'm HALFWAY!! :D
I think the best thing is finding old clothes that were too tight that fit perfectly or --even better-- are way too big. Last fall, at my heaviest, my mom bought me some pants and I put them on today and I can't wear them because they literally just fall off. I take a step and boom. They're around my thighs. I tried to wear these khaki straightlegs that looks AMAZING but they're just so loose in the waist it's kind of stupid looking.
I look at myself in the mirror naked and I don't feel disgusted with what I see. I see a little waist and a gorgeous little figure just under the surface.
In short...I feel great. :)

It has been way way way way way way too long since my last post. I apologize. Not that I have many followers who are just DYING to read my blog, but still. I said I'd be updating regularly with my weight loss and I haven't.
That being said, I seem to have stalled a little. About a month ago, I started working again. It's an awesome job; I have my own office, my own squashy chair, things like that. It's wonderful. It pays well and I generally have a good time at work. I report to the Sales Director as his assistant. I have a lot to do throughout any given day and most of all (by which I mean the part that impacts my weight loss the most), I have to wake up at 6am and be out the door 40 minutes later.
Here is where I've hit a snag. I commute a little ways; it's not quite as far as Seattle so it's not a huge commute. But it's still far. So by the time I'm off and get home, it's dinner time and on top of that, I'm pooped. I take a shower and fall into bed. I have gone to the gym at 4 in the morning which was actually pretty successful. I just have to keep doing it. And therein lies the problem. My alarm goes off, I wake up, and I roll over and go back to sleep. I WANT to go to the gym. I feel GREAT when I go to the gym. Even at 4 o'clock in the morning. But I just am so tired. And it's harder when the hubby is home because he likes to watch TV with me until 10ish. If I'm getting up at 4, I need to be asleep by 8ish, MAYBE 9ish. (Ish.)
Really, I just have to keep at it till it sticks and I know that. On the bright side, I haven't GAINED any weight. I've just been hovering at 175 for about a month now. :<
45 more to go.
I need new shoes.

TOTALLY A Scale Victory!!
Take THAT, TOM bloat!! I'm finally down to 180. That's my second threshold!!
I might--MIGHT--even be less than that. I forgot to weigh myself first thing when I walked in and had already guzzled half of my 32 ounce bottle of water lol.
I'm just thrilled. Beyond thrilled. It's little victories like this that really keep me going. I mean. I weighed myself, saw 180, and felt FANTASTIC and pushed myself really hard today. I kept pushing through muscle fatigue when I was doing my weights and I pushed through on my cardio.
Sometimes, I can't believe that I've really lost 20 pounds. That's like 2 and a half babies. I picture different things that weight 20 pounds and I'm like, "That came OFF of me." That is how much less of me there is!! Holy crap!!
Needless to say, I'm in a great mood and I'm shooting for a 178 (or less!) weigh in Monday night for our Biggest Loser challenge at my gym. That'll be a loss 5 pounds for the past two weeks, something huge for me since I was almost embarrassed to weigh in at the exact same weight last time.
Can't WAIT for those new shoes. ;) That's one thing I'll NEVER delay cashing in on!
