whats this you ask? a whole new wardrobe? i wish. its all the clothes that i have outgrown (or is it undergrown??? hmmmm)

anyway, they are too friggin' big for me so outta the house they go. i am so excited about how big the piles are. i tried every single thing in my closet on. if it didn't fit or didn't look right, out it went. i'm pleased to say that all the clothes are gone b/c they were just way too big. i am happy though that they are headed to a new owner....my dear friend amy who has recently started weight watchers and she herself has lost a grand total of 15 pounds.

way to go amy!!!

if you've visited my other blog you would already know that i am off work today for mardi gras. so i didn't think about the fact that today was weigh in day when i woke up. so i will post tomorrow. however, i'm not counting on much. since this past weekend was a bday weekend, it was filled with all sorts of yummies. but i don't mind. i def. wasn't going to deprive myself on my bday.

how is everyone else doing?

FINALLY!!! signs of improvement around here...lol.

not bad considering that aunt flo has been a bad house guest and extended her visit. not to mention all the extra baggage she brought with her: bloating, irritability, hunger. what a bitch she is.

i really haven't done anything different this week. tried to drink more water. i seem to go thru spurts. today i may drink and assload and then tomorrow i'm busy at work or something and i hardly drink 8 ounces. i am going to have to be better at that.

i have noticed though that my body requires me to eat. meaning, i can't skip a meal. i'm beginning to think that i need to eat five-six small meals every day. i've noticed that i seem to lose weight when that happens.

i have not been exercising at all. this disappoints myself, but i have been so friggin' busy. i know what you're thinking, "you have to make time for it". i can't seem to make time to pay my bills much less take an hour outta my day to exercise. i'm hoping that in the next week or so things will calm down.

ha! who am i kidding, we are going to start the build of our house in the next couple of weeks.

anyway, i hope that you guys are having much success and i am going to try my damnest to post here more often.

i have gotten great support from you guys and a few have expressed how much they enjoy visiting here. i mean who wouldn't wanna stop by and see a picture of a strangers scale and all her ballsy-ness by posting her weight on the web :)

i don't FUCKING get it. no progress in the past week??? are you kidding me? what is going on here? i have turned in to a camel with the amount of water that i have consumed in the past week. i have tried my damnest to watch what i eat.

my pants are starting to fall off of me (including those size 12's i bought the other day) and i can look at my stomach and tell its not as "bloated" looking.

so what gives?

okay, so now its time to re-evaluate some things. i need to do a lil research and i will get back with ya'll (plus, it have to run to work).

its official.

i am now a size.......12!!!!

this is an amazing feat. i have now lost 3 pant sizes. whoooo-haaa!

it all started this morning when i tried on a pair of size 12 pants that greta had given me when then became too big for her. when she had first given them too me, i think i could button them, but they were extremely tight. this morning they fit. of course i had to call mike and have him give me the "ass low down".

whats the "ass low down" you ask? well, its when i ask him if it looks like my ass is eating my pants. so i got the approval for em and headed out to do all our errands today. throughout the day i kept thinking "holy shit, i'm in a 12".

some amongst all of our running around, we headed to the gap to find some clothes for the kids. i found the most amazing mint colored green pants. i stood there and debated between the 14 and the 12. we didn't have time for me to try them on and i didn't know if i should just get the 14 b/c that is what i'm used to or what. so i went with the 12.

i just tried them on and they fit beautifully. i mean b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.l.y!!! there was in room in them. ran into the kitchen, hoopin' and hollerin that they fit, and have mike give me the "ass low down" again.

all good!!!

i can't even believe that the next size that i could be in is a 10.

wow!

well, this is defineately a situation where its one step forward, two steps back.

i actually shouldn't complain. this is nothing like i thought it would be. i expected a 1-2 lb. gain after the gorging i did saturday night and ALL DAY SUNDAY (and lets not forget those fuckin' dots).

so a lesson learned right? and now i know to stay away from the dots and drink more water this week.

lets hope for a better weigh in next tuesday!



and how is everyone else doing?

this is why i don't expect tomorrow's weigh in to be a good one.

i've talked before about my addiction to candy (hello, my name is elizabeth and i am addicted to all fruity, sugary candies). well, while talking to greta about my fear of posting a picture of a scale that shows a weight gain, she asked the simple question "how many ww (weight watchers) points are they?"

well hell if i knew. i mean all i knew was that i can finish a box in less then 24 hrs. so i came home and did the math.

holy shit!!!

17 pts. a box!!!!

that is almost how many points i am supposed to consume in a whole day. i can have 3 1/2 hershey candy bars for that amount.

that was a huge slap in the face. dots are no longer my friend.
