OKay, I am not a size 12 yet, but I will be soon enough. I have gone from an 18/20 to a 16 in a month and a half. Plus, with my new gym membership and motivation to get in shape to be a roller derby girl, it will be soon enough! This is a great work into dress. My sister is even motivated to work down to it as well, and I rarely see her in a dress. Originally $129, marked down to $79.99, final price $5.34 with tax. Yep, you read that right. It was on sale for $4.99! Gotta love good bargains!
I lost .8 this week. I had the most tasty and enjoyable weekend. My meal Saturday night may have kept me from losing more, but I lost and I enjoyed every bite! I went to see the Indigo Girls in Bloomington, IN, and I ate at Roots before. Roots is a wonderful local foods vegan/vegetarian restaurant. It was so freeing to walk into a restaurant where I knew I could order anything I wanted and didn't have to pick from a few limited items with modifications. My friend and I split the appetizer sampler platter which was all fried foods. The breaded and fried seitan was awesome, as were the sauces that came with the appetizer platter. We left food on it.
Dinner was polenta with local farmer's cheese and homemade chunky marinara. My friend ordered the Tofu in Peanut Sauce. We got extra plates and shared the deliciousness. OMG! So delish! She ordered the curried sweet potato soup that was amazing as well. I sipped an ABC, Apple, Beet, Carrot juice. The only regret, I would have ordered ginger in my juice. Other than that, I have no regrets about this meal! Well, that and I didn't have enough points of stomach space to eat more. You know, the amazing thing was I wasn't stuffed. I would say I was full, but we walked to the concert around the corner and I wasn't uncomfortable at all. I was even hungry after singing and dancing to the Girls! So, by leaving food, not cleaning my plate, getting some activity, and indulging appropriately, I lost weight!
I am .3 pounds from my first 5% goal. Whatdya think? Will my post next week say I did? I think so!
If you are in the Indianapolis area, check out Livrite Fitness. I just joined this week and I am loving it. It is $1 to join right now and you get a free month for a friend. Pool, sauna, cardio equipment, classes...I will be at basic yoga Mon and Wed nights whenever I can. I was given a great rate and I am glad I made the decision to join. The first night, I did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I was drenched. Last night, I was only able to do 15 but I didn't give up. I did another 15 on the recumbent bike. I have said for years, I have arthritis in my knees. I can't do bikes. My knees never hurt and don't today. My muscles are awake and alive and it feels good.
I also welcomed new life into mine. My stray kitty had her babies! They are sooooooo cute. 4 little ones came into this world yesterday. Here they are. And they are looking for homes in about 6-8 weeks!
Have a great week and remember, Sprout something (seeds or seeds of change)!
