2 AWESOME NSV'S & PICS!!!

So biggest NSV eva.... I BOUGHT A SIZE 18 JEANS TODAY and they fit! They are from Target, the Merona brand. Says they're stretching in the waist for no gapping, mid rise, and boot cup. Super cute!
 I can't believe I"m in them, I'm so excited! Just in time to go back home. This offically makes me a size smaller than I was last time any of those family or friends saw me! woot woot! Oh and I had a very SMALL muffin top action. With the right top it'll be fine until I lose 5-10 more lbs. Very very slight!!!

2nd NSV was that I skated for the first time today since I was about 13. From 12-13 I skated twice a week for a year and a half. I was supppppppppppppppper good at it! I could do the tricks, go backwards, do jumps, race super fast, I was awesome. The skating rink I went to then wanted me to be on their skate team except I was too young. haha!


Today was the first time my boys ever put skates on. Riley did well, he's very athletic and he never gives up. Within 15 mins he was stayin on his feet. Then he got to where he was in a groove, slowly putting one foot in front of the other. Konnor only tried for about 30 mins then he took his skates off and followed us around. He wasn't a downer thank god (no fits or crabbiness b/che couldn't do it) he just wouldn't try anymore. But it was fun and I got lots of pics and put them up on facebook!

Me & Konnor man. Riley took this pic, he's talented w/ a camera if I do say so myself. haha! Konnor looks sleepy and weird but I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve this pic b/c I look good!!! My knees are bent in weird b/c I'm trying to hold Konnor up, but I just felt comfortable in my own skin. I think it's a cute picture! Probably my fav of the day!
Before we quit skating to play arcade games, I made them sit and chill and let me do a few laps around to Rhianna, going at my pace to see how much my body remembered skating. I did awesome! I did everything except jumping trips and going backwards. Too afraid to attempt backwards just yet. But it felt sooooooooooooooooooo good skating fast, the air blowing my hair off my sweaty forehead, and just feeling so "free". It was awesome! I wish I could do this w/ girlfriends like once a week as an exercise. I'd probably do it 4 hrs straight! Sooo much fun!
I don't know if i've mentioned this on here yet but tomorrow is the Susan Komen Breast Cancer Walk in Tempe. My work is a sponsor and about 300 people are going, but I'm meeting up w/ 3 co-workers to walk together! They are awesome chicks, I got my shirt, I bought new exercise pants for it, and I'm super duper duper excited!!! I will take tons of pics. I want to jog and one chick said she'd attempt it with me, but the others said they'd prefer to walk. We'll see. If I can get them to jog then I will. I should be going w/o the kiddos if my babysitter doesn't cancel on me. And if she does I hope my mom is nice enough to be a grama and watch the kids for a few hrs, she rarely ever does that.
I'm exciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiited!!!
xoxo,
Liz
P.S. Only 3 more days until we're in Arkansas!!! It's cold there now so we get to bust out our jackets for the first time, hehehehe! It's about 80 today in the big AZ!

    Thanks ladies! And thanks Gen for saying I look good in jeans. At this point I really don't care I'm just glad they fit...hahaha, no I'm kidding. Of course I want to look good in them. I'm just excited b/c I only had 2 pair of 20 regular jeans (not including denium trousers) and I had had them soooooo long the fabric on the inner thighs was rubbing and thinning. I will officially throw them away soon, I wouldn't want to pass them on to anyone.

    You look great in the jeans. The whole outfit was really cute! Congrats. Finding a good pair of jeans is really good for the soul.

    I had a pair of jeans like your old 20's-- another month or two and I would've rubbed the thighs away :-)

    Wow- so cool about the skating. We have a rink near our house. I have never skated but I am so curious. Maybe I will sign up now? It could be fun.

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...
