Fabulous NSV's


I just wanted to take a moment to mention some good things I've noticed. Yesterday we ran by old navy to exchange some of Riley's uniform stuff and I decided to try on some of their jeans and see if I could buy IN STORE (b/c they only go up to 20 in their store and I'm wearing some 20's and some 22's). And also I thought I'd try on a dress b/c Amy is in favor of me wearing a dress. Here's how it went...


Size 20 sweetheart cut jeans! I liked them just couldn't afford them. They fit nice though I would probably go for a tall and hem them if they needed it, pants tend to be too short for me once I wash them. I was excited they FIT!


So here is my attempt at a dress. Yes I know I should wear a tailored and/or wrap dress but I just thought this was cute so I thought I'd try it on. If I was actually looking for a dress to buy I'd either get a wrap dress or a tailored t-shirt dress. (my boys playin in the background, haha)


so once I got home I was on their site looking at their sizing charts. On tops I am officially moved out of the plus section. I can wear an XL, not even XXL. So finally in an XL at old navy and landsend, woo hoo!

I FEEL thinner. I just broke through my 260 plateau. Goodbye 260's FOREVER!!!! I have been sittin' at 259.2 for two days now and I'm optimistic about reaching my 246 goal by first weekend in Oct. Just found out though that my brother and his family aren't coming out then anymore so we won't be getting family pics done by my sister inlaw (she's a professional) but we might just have to go to someone to have them done. We'll see.
xoxo,
Liz

    Oh great...now I have to go try on Old Navy jeans in a 20. I am scurred though bc I dont think I can handle the sadness if they dont fit. They also dont carry 20 petites in store, but I could have them hemmed. I still have those vintage (2002) old navy jeans at home that dont even zip and they are a size 20...or so they say!

    I would try the new ones for sure. You should try them b/c our measurements are all the same. No harm in it, ecspecially if you go in expecting them to NOT FIT. Then you can just be excited when they do.

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
