Size 16???

Last weekend when I was with my sister in law I was telling her that I was not interested in shopping because I didn't want to try on clothes and be the same size and feel fat.

Yesterday as you saw from my post I really didn't feel thinner even though the scale showed I was. 

Today I was going to lunch and a movie with my bestie and I put on some jeans and they were HUGE. I didn't feel cute because they were so big that it felt like they were going to fall off and they pooched and made my tummy look bigger than it is. 

I was showing Dani my huge pants and she asked how big they were and I said "18" 
Later when I was in the restroom I thought maybe they are a 20 .... so I looked and they were a 16! I was really shocked by that. Brands tend to run differently these are Avenue and I thought dang that must be a brand that runs HUGE. I can't be a size 16. So I decided to go shopping after the movie... 


 These are the huge size 16 Avenue jeans 

 Thats what they lay like- those are my panties and I am not pulling them out they are just that big. 




Pregnancy pooch isn't there!!!!!!!! 


I have been wanting some mustard colored jeans. These are super cute! 


I was feeling so excited about the small pants that I decided to grab some "regular" tops. 

This sequin blazer needs to be in my closet for real. Its a Vera Wang $120 jacket though... but being able to button it and it not be tight but almost a little loose was EXCITING. 










 EWWW cute arms. AND I didn't feel like my fatty arm looked gigantic. 





Lastly... I had gotten to the point where I was touching my steering wheel and now DANG I have tons of room and even look pretty shapely and cute sitting down haha 





SO PROUD

    You look awesome in those jeans! I'm looking forward to the day when I have a nice space between me and the steering wheel. I haven't have that since I was pregnant with my son over 5 years ago!

FITSPO

So maybe I have been under a rock but I just heard about this whole "thinspo" ban from pinterest, tumblr, instagram etc. I was never into "thinspo" because I don't want to look like a stick. Example of thinspo BUT NOW they are talking about if fitspo is also a negative thing. Example of fitspo  There are mixed emotions about fitspo. I personally think that it is beneficial to me. I don't beat myself up and it doesn't make me have an unhealthy view of my body or make me do crazy things like starve myself. It motivates me to go to the gym which I need to be doing. This is from the new york times about fitspo being the new thinspo " But in our rush to focus on health -- or at least the perceived appearance of health -- we’re simply setting up a new idealized figure to chase after, and not necessarily one that is any better for us. What kind of monster is against health? This kind, I suppose. While I mightily dig the notion of ind...

Crossfit and a sex doll.

I have been working out pretty consistently and have been weightlifting for a while, but I decided that I wanted to do something more. I have been thinking about trying CrossFit but I am scared to do it alone. I mentioned the idea to my husband and he said he was interested in trying it too. I am really interested in lifting heavy and getting more physical strength.  I am really proud that I have lost over 100 pounds, but I will say my body isn't exactly how I imagined it would be. I pretty much feel like this...  It's weird how your body just kind of deflates. My skin is weird. I am not really comfortable with my arms or thighs - hello short and tank top season. I also hoped my stomach would go away and while it is smaller it's just a smaller deflated version of what it was. I was morbidly obese and had a child. My stomach will probably never be viewed by anyone and that is fine, but when you look at this as motivation  and then you get...

Health and Beauty

This morning after my multi hour internet health blog and pinterest binge I was wondering should I be taking supplements? My husband drinks protein powder after he works out but he is big and not trying lose weight but build muscle. I want to build muscle too because ultimately I want to actually have a fit body not just lose weight. I wonder if I am supposed to lose the fat first and do weights obviously while I am losing weight but then once I get most of the fat gone and want to be a more serious muscle builder THEN take supplements? I don't even know if I want to take supplements. For some reason I feel like taking pills and powders is unhealthy. Maybe because I have a past with the whole diet pills, meal replacements etc. I don't think those work and I think they are a waste of my time and money. I want to do something that is good and right for my body. I want to eat FOOD not take short cuts that eventually fail me. There isn't a magic powder or pill thats going to ...
