I should really get a pair of 7/8's!


There's toooooo much space between where my body ends and my jeans begin in my 9/10's! Thanks Shari for issuing this challenge!


On to my girliness quest....Not much to report really other than I feel "girly" in my new skinny clothes. I've even taken to wearing makeup to work again since I've found a foundation that will hold up to all the sweating that I do/will be doing at my job. I've found that I really like Almay's new TLC (Truly Lasting Color). It'll last my whole shift, it breaths, it's got a bunch of "good for your skin" ingredients, plus it has sunscreen in it too.
Now on to an overall feel good topic....While I was out shopping for my new "skinny" clothes the other day, my favorite store had these really neat necklaces up by the registers. Three little circles entertwined on a leather necklace. It turns out that these necklaces were specially made by a Minnesota artist for Maurices to sell and help in the fight against cancer. It makes me feel good to know that $2.50 from my $5.00 purchase is going to help find a cure for cancer. Just remember cancer can happen to anybody at anytime.

Today's Affirmations and just some random stuff

1. I feel more confident knowing I'm 4 pant sizes smaller.
2. I don't huff and puff near as much when I climb hills while I'm walking my dogs.
3. My bloggie friends are a great support system!

I checked out my blogging buddy Shari's blog this morning and I found this post (please click on the word post to go to the link). I'm just really happy that I have a pretty great support system out there in blogging land to keep me on the straight and narrow....So Thank You all! i'm not really all that comfortable in my transforming body yet and it feels good to now that there are others out there just like me.

Well the other day while I was out doing some clothes shopping (I finally have more than one pair of jeans that fit correctly!) I totally splurged and bought myself another pair of Maurices Sliver brand of jeans. The first pair I bought was $64 and this last pair that I bought were $69 and trust me they are worth every penny! I wore my new pair of Silver's to work last night and I felt much more confident in them nowing they fit in all the right places. I also bought a couple of shirts to add to my collection and can hardly wait for my next set of days off so I can wear them for more than a couple of hours.

On to 30 Day challenge stuff....I'm totally STOKED about the area's that I have already started slimming down in! You really have no idea at all! It's really a serious confidence booster to know that I can "squeeze" myself into a pair of 7/8 jeans and not totally cut off circulation to other parts of my body! This is seriously the smallest I've been inches wise in a VERY LONG time. I'm having hardly any trouble at all getting the inches to come off but I'm having a terrible time getting the weight to come off.

Have a great weekend everybody!

Challenge Update



May 8th - 1/2" of Fat GONE!

I measured myself again today just for grins and giggles. I'm down 1/2" in both my waist and my hips. I'm down a whole inch in my bust area and both of my arms! So here are some updated challenge pictures. Sorry about the crappiness of the mirror.
