Month 3

It has now been three months since I started my weight loss program, and to date, I have lost 19.2 lbs, and 17 inches...well, everywhere. 

On a side note, I've been working towards selling my wedding dress.  I'm hesitant to put it on a site like craigslist, because there are SO MANY girls in my area selling wedding dresses.  But, I think my recently engaged cousin may be interested in buying it, so that's a plus :-)  In preparation for selling my dress, I took it out of the garment bag to make sure it was still good and everything associated with it was still present.

So naturally, I tried it on.

Good news...

...it still fits.  :-D

The zipper did need some encouragement, but in the end, it zipped all the way up.   The end.

Month 2

Here's just a quick update about my weight loss goals--this is mostly for me; it keeps me accountable :-) To date, I have lost 14.6 lbs, and 12.5 inches around...everywhere. Yay!

Weight Loss Update

K people, here are the stats. I've been on my thing (weight loss plan, workout schedule, whatever) for 4 weeks and 1 day, and today I have officially lost 10 lbs and 10 inches around my slowly shrinking body... :-) Feelin' good and looking forward to the next month, and hopefully the next 10 lbs. Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. I love you all!

Renewing New Year's Resolutions

Yes, I know, I'm a lame blogger :-( However, this post brings good news, at least for me. As you may have read from my previous post, I started doing the Insanity workouts. The regimen I started then (4 months ago) didn't work out as well as I imagined. I continued to do the workouts, maybe not as consistently as I should have, but I continued to work out, and I still am. But I wasn't achieving the results I was looking for--probably because I was justifying the ~3000 calories I was consuming each day. (Actually, I don't know how many calories I was inputting, but it was definitely more than the recommended amount. Maybe you are aware of how much I...appreciate, food?) Anywho, I did some researching, and came up with my own weight loss plan. I've cut back my calorie intake, upped my workouts to a daily occurrence, and I am proud to say....since January 5th (that's when I started this dealio)...I have lost 8 pounds :-) and am well on my way to my target weight! Thank you, thank you. I delayed sharing this with everyone until I was sure I could keep this up, and now I'm in a routine that I am sure I can stick to. Especially since I've seen the results :-) Thanks for enduring my little bragging session, but I'm a little proud of myself. Little bit.
