So, I slacked a little off in my updating.. sorry about that!
Well, I am 151 exactly right now. I haven't lost too much weight, .4 lbs since I last wrote, but I am seeing changes in my body.
I had to go one hole tighter on my belt (which I may have already said) but when I do that, the front of my jeans bunch up. I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and I am starting to really like what I see. I am losing inches on my lower back, which really excited me. I wore a shirt today that I hadn't for awhile because it was too tight and my midsection looked bigger, but today it fit much better! I caught myself looking in the mirror at the bookstore today and was like, I am slimming down! I don't want to sound conceited, but I thought I looked good! I still need work, but I was impressed with myself. Something I noticed was that I can see my belt poking out under my shirt now. I don't know if that made any sense, but it looks like I may have to find a flatter belt. I still need to lose more inches on my midsection, but to see it start to go down almost makes me want to cry!
I haven't lost a lot of weight, but the inches is what I'm really going for! I mean, I still want to lose the weight, but if I lose inches faster than the weight, I'm cool with that!
The fact that I am liking what I am seeing is keeping me motivated to keep going. I know I keep saying that, but it's true! To finally start seeing real results and know that if I keep going it is only going to get better makes me so happy. It is a real confidence booster. I even notice my face is getting smaller. My chin is thinner! Thank goodness! I'm hoping it goes away even more.
I hope this isn't TMI, but if it is, oh well! lol. I am finding that my panties are now not as snug and they are almost too big now. I'm kind of sad because they are VS, but I'll keep wearing them until they are too big and I'll buy more when I reach my goal weight. My sports bra is also getting loose. I'm losing inches around my ribs, I guess. My cup size hasn't changed. Yet. My regular bras still fit the same. Although I wear a 36 in sports bra and 38 in regular bra (which I am hoping to go down to 36 again). Maybe my sports bra is just getting stretched. Who knows, but I do think 'they' are getting smaller. They usually do when you work out. It's just hard to find the right sports bra when you actually need support.
My goal this week is to get to 150! I am so close to the 140s. It's like my body is saying "wait for it.. wait for it... just a little longer." It is a bit frustrating. I am sure I can get there as long as I stick to my 3-4 days at the gym.
I'm going to start taking yoga classes. They are included in my gym membership. My trainer suggested them because my balance still needs work. As does my core. My core is weaker than she thought, so that affects everything I do, so yoga should help that, too.
Well, that's all for now.
Thanks for reading!

That's awesome Jen, I'm happy for you! =) Inches are definitely more important. I told you yoga was good, hehe, you'll get even better results now once you start that up. You're going to love how you feel after yoga, it's the best! Glad to hear it's all going great for you! *hugs*
