Bought a dress. The beauty of it is that it can cinch down about 4 sizes to accomodate shrinkage...It looks very beautiful on and even my husband likes it despite the fact that it is actually in fashion. (Sometimes I think he is stuck with an image of Julie McCoy from Loveboat as his timeless image of evening wear. Ugh!)

Today I was holding my son looking in the mirror (something he loves to do) and and it was such a relief to see a woman I recognize looking back. Definitely noticeably smaller in the chest, arms, shoulders and face. And I've started noticing muscle tone in my legs again. But god knows I've still got a serious muffin top going on. It's diminishing but so far it still seems to be the biggest culprit keeping me comfortably out of my old jeans.
I'm overly impatient to fit my regular clothes! Since the time I was about 5 months pregnant, I refused to spend real money on clothes. So right about now I'm getting *real* sick of wearing cheap t-shirts from Target, and ugly materinity pants. My real wardrobe beckons with quality thread counts, rich colors and textiles, and elegant durability...meaning I can wash it once without it disintegrating. I'm also really weary of looking like I work in a cheap, sad office building whenever I have to dress up for something (think: Dunder Mifflin.)
I have a wedding to go to next weekend and my dilemma is whether to try to look my
best
now (i.e. buy a dress) or wear one of my fat dresses and just look "ok." I'm torn because I don't want to buy any more clothes in a size 14, but this is my "beautiful" friend group. Nobody seems to be overweight and all they do is wakeboard and get tan on the lake all summer...I feel pressure to try to find something trendy to wear even if it has to be a larger size but I don't feel like dropping $300 on an outfit I hope doesn't fit me in a couple months. Sigh. What would you do?

Surprised I lost even 2 lbs considering all the nibbling I've been doing. I swear -- I had *maybe* one glass of wine at my dinner party and it left me ravenous for nearly 3 days! I kept sampling leftovers so I can't really say I'm surprised. I'm actually surprised that I lost 2 lbs under these conditions. This week I'm thinking about trying to workout every day, even if it is only for 20 minutes. I thought maybe that would be a good way to mix it up and get some conditioning in because I've still been doing intervals in lieu of steady state running as I know I can, but seem to be avoiding. Alas, it was a good thing for my spirit to entertain my friends so it was worth it even though it puts my October goal in some degree of jeopardy!
Hope everyone is doing well - it's cloudy and chilly in Seattle so it is good weather for Jenny Craig chili and a hot cup of jasmine tea. Cheers!

Losing 1.0 kg a Week

Need my head examined; hosted a dinner party last night for 12 people. The theme was "breakfast for dinner" so I prepared a couple decadent quiches, homemade red flannel hash, pumpkin waffles with pancetta, bite-sized bagels with cold smoked salmon and chevre, and many other things. The way I handled the day: Eat Jenny Craig for breakfast, skip lunch/snack, leaving about 1200 calories to exploit for dinner. I tried to keep my fat intake for the day at about 30 grams, but I'm not sure if I made it. Basically, I ate very small portions of everything.
For the menu in general I tried to emphasize flavors and variety instead of big portions. I used almost all locally grown vegetables and eggs and such. I offered tasteful portions that were not tiny, but not typically huge. People seemd to have a nice time.
For me, it was a good test of resolve and aside from a few sips of champagne (I served apple cider mimosas) or wine here and there I think I did well. This morning I was 1.5 lbs lighter despite it all! Must have been all the scammering around the kitchen I had to do from sun up to sun down to make the dinner happen!

Tuesdays sure come quickly these days. I used to enjoy Mondays and Wedenesdays and Thursdays...but now seems like my weeks go by in successions of TUESDAY TUESDAY TUESDAY. You might have guessed, it is my weigh-in day. I lost 3.6 lbs which is awesome. However, I need to tweak a bit to get up to 3.75 which hopefully now that I've been able to increase the duration and intensity of my workouts I can do. I have 4 more weigh-ins before October 31st and my goal is to go under 200 by 10/31. So I either need a "big" week or I need to shave off 3.75 lbs per week. I think adding one more day of exercise could work. We'll see! It's just more compelling for me when I have a concrete, short-term goal.
How's everyone else doing?
