Mamavation Monday - New Clothes!

Hello all! As promised, I weighed myself today and measured myself. Tho I didn't make it to 325lbs yet (still have another week..*smiles*), I did however gain .4 lbs. Bummer. That's ok cuz guess what?? I got new clothes last week and actually bought them in the store!! Haven't bought clothes in a store for bout 2-3 years now. Am so excited. Mom and I went to Avenue to see if there was any bathing suits out cuz I promised my son I would go swimming with him this week for our weekend getaway. We're going to the Amish Country in Ohio. Unfortunately, they didn't have any bathing suit but they had a lot of tops on sale. To be honest, I was like ahh it would be nice if these clothes would fit. Mom held a shirt up and said to try it on. We ended up getting bout 15 tops for me to try on. All fit but 2! We got bout 10 tops as couple of them weren't on sale. Decided to wait til March to get them. We spent $75 for them. We've always had to pay almost $300 so not bad at all. I was so excited! Heck, I'm still excited. Cuz another thing, I haven't been buying clothes in so long. I would say it's been almost a year. Only thing I usually buy online or through a catalog are bras. Since nobody sells my bras round here anymore, I have to order them online which is what I did last week along with my new bathing suit. Bras won't get here til March but bathing suit will be here Wednesday, in time for my trip with my son and my mom. We're leaving Thursday after my son gets out of school. With what's been going on for the last couple of weeks, I deserve a break. I'm thinking cuz of the stress, I haven't exactly lost any weight this week. I'm gonna make it this week. Just watch me! :)

Here's a pic of my weight for today (327.2lbs):
Here's my measurements:
Bust - 62 inches
Waist - 54 inches
Abdomen - 61 inches
Hips - 60 inches
Thigh - 28 inches
Arm - 15 inches


Lost 4 inches in one month! :) I know I didn't sound too happy bout the gain on twitter this morning. I was hoping it would stay at 326.8 or be less. It just means I gotta work harder at it this week especially since I'll be out of town for a couple of days. I'm really gonna have to figure out bout the food while there cuz my food choices are never good. Just gonna have to look at menu and figure it out and eat only half the food cuz they do give out lot of food. lol. Just have to wait and see. But with me playing in the pool with my son, I'm sure I'll have no problem and us walking around. I should be a-ok.

Maybe if I look alright in my bathing suit, I'll take a pic of me in it and show off? Ahh, maybe not, I might scare everyone away or worse yet, break the camera. hehe. We'll see. *winks*

Have a great and wonderful week to you all! Big hugz

  4. It's so encouraging to get into a smaller size. I hadn't gone shopping for myself in a while too. Just remember this for me, your weight is NOT permanent. It is only a product of your lifestyle. If your lifestyle changes, your body changes with it. I will be here to cheer you on as you go through this process of change. XXOO
