Morning! I am writing this post from my iPhone on the train ride to work this morning. I caught the 10:30 train ride home last night after work, but it doesn’t get my home until 11:40 – it makes every single stop at that time of night and I am the second to last stop.
Last week I came home from work and Hannah told me “Mom, you can’t wear those pants anymore, they are too big.” What?
I remember around Thanksgiving I went through my closet. Wait, I need to rephrase that. Hannah thought it might be a good idea to go through my closet and she’d be happy to help!
We made a pile of stuff that fit but I never wore for Goodwill. The left hand of the closet was stuff that fit, and the right hand side of my closet, separated by an old wooden hanger Tony used to hang his suit on. The clothes on the right were all clothes I liked, but didn’t fit. Like 10 pairs of pants didn’t fit. š
When my Mom was over on Sunday, I tried on the first five pairs of pants on the right side of the closet, and guess what? They all fit!
On December 22 I weighed 176. Last week I was 166. I forget that because I am so short, ten pounds is a pant size for me.
And all because I am following the Weight Watcher plan. No trying to trick the system, no pounding water the day before a weigh in hoping to “flush” away my indiscretions from the previous six days.
Just counting my points. Planning my higher point meals within my day to still be in the healthy range. It really is that simple. I just wish it hadn’t taken me this long to figure out! ??? make it a great day! I’ll be posting my pork chop and polenta dish with lemon pepper sauce that I posted on Instagram on Sunday.
Awesome Job, WW always works for me too, but then I fall off the wagon and gain it all back š How is Hannah doing?
Thanks – Hannah is actually sticking to her low carb diet and is losing inches and has lost 13 pounds! Best part is that she and Jacob have not had any fast food in a month and have cooked more homemade food this last month than they have in the past year!
Great job on your weight-loss!
I am so looking forward to the recipe for the pork with lemon pepper sauce! I was drooling over it and hoping you would post the recipe!
Thanks for reminding me to post the recipe! š
Look at the blue dots everywhere! You are doing amazing! Keep up the great work and thanks again for all of the motivation and the great recipe ideas to follow with the smart points. They will be quite helpful when I get my butt in gear and sign up.
It’s my new addiction – blue dots instead of wine! š
great job!!
Thanks Marcia! And tell your boys to stop growing so fast!
Congrats on the ten pounds down and the smaller size! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Susan – it actually hasn’t been that hard – I still eat the things I want, just not all day every day š
CongratulationsBizmgmtapp@gmail.com. always an inspiration!
Thanks Jan! š
So proud of you Biz!!! You are doing great!
Thanks Amanda! I appreciate it š Happy Friday! (just catching up on replying to comments!)
Yay for new pants! Even if they come from your own closet, getting to wear a size smaller is so motivating!
It is fun! Today though I grabbed the wrong jeans – they were out of the dryer so you know how they fit fine, but as the day wore on, they got so loose that I needed to use a rubber band to keep my pants up!
