I've been very itchy last night and today. Last night it was mainly my arms and today it's my legs. Not sure if it's cuz my skin is dry, or if it's the HCG releasing toxins from my fat that is making me itchy.
OK, are you ready for all my excitement? I'm hoping it will just explode off the page. Let me just give you a recap of my day….
Woke up too early to mention, I measured and took pictures, then waited "patiently" for my appointment.
At my appointment, the scale said 197.2 – not the number I was hoping for, but still a good number. It's well under 200 and it's a 3.4lb loss since last week. So for my 30 days, according to their scale I have lost 17 lbs in 30 days. I would say that's pretty darn good. After my appointment I was starving and I was headed to the mall to get some jeans for my boys. I went to the food court and carefully weighed my options, it was either a salad from either subway or paradise bakery and neither sounded very appealing, then I saw the Japanese place so I looked to see what I could have there. I ended up ordering sushi without the rice, (a couple pieces of raw tuna, raw salmon and cooked shrimp), the guy thought I was crazy when I said I didn't want the rice. I also ordered sautéed veggies but made sure he didn't use oil. He asked if I wanted seasoning and I asked what was in it, he told me some of the spices then I asked if it had sugar and he looked at me like I was crazy again. So that's what I ate and couldn't even eat it all and I felt stuffed. After that I got the boys jeans and then decided I would just stop at a couple stores and try on some clothes to see what sizes I was coming in at. I didn't want to go to Lane Bryant, I wanted regular stores, so I started at Macys and I tried on a pair of Capri's and a couple shirts. I grabbed 16 and 14's for the Capri's and then 12, large and medium for the shirts. I could get the 14s on, but they would have been difficult to button, the 16's fit, but I wasn't very comfortable. As for the shirts – the 12 and the medium both fit. I ended up just getting a sweater that's more like a jacket – so I got that in large so I would be comfortable with it over things. (I can't believe that though –not an XL or 1x or even 2x – but a large) After that I decided I would try some pants on at JC Penny's. As soon as I walked in their A.N.A brand caught my eye. I saw a couple pairs of pants that I like so I grabbed them both in 14 and 16 and I grabbed 2 white shirts – one med and one large, and then a black in medium. I put the black shirt on and it fit great, so no need for the large. Then I tried on the first pair of 14's, I text my husband and my mom "OMG, OMG, OMG size 14 pants fit me!!!!!" I almost screamed in the dressing room. It was so hard to contain my excitement. That is when I really with my mom had been there with me to celebrate. The first ones are a little snug, but not uncomfortable snug. The second ones fit so perfectly. I never even tried on the 16's. I ended up buy both pairs of pant, and 3 shirts from there. I was so excited. When I got home I modeled everything for my husband and he agreed that they look great. Then I tried on a couple things that are in a basket in my closet waiting for me, an old navy skirt (14) and an old navy sun dress (14), they both fit but a little snug, so in no time I will be fitting into all my old 14s and ready to move to new territory. It's been probably 6-7 years since I've been in my 14s and I've never been in 12s or 10s or 8s. I went straight from a 2/4 to a 14 after I had kids.
I'm very happy with myself today. Super excited!!!!!
