Spray tan...not so bad.

I wanted a spray tan for vacation because my legs reflect light, they really do.  I looked it up online and that is good and bad, there are some real horror stories out there!  Anyway, here are the results.  Up close I freak out, because I have NEVER been tan, but in pictures, which is what I wanted it for, it doesn't look too bad!

10% gone!!!!!

I was 209 at my weight watchers weigh in yesterday which was only .2 pounds from my 10% goal so I weighed myself this morning and I was 208.6!!!  So I have officially lost 10% of my body weight!

I consider this a huge goal, because losing 10% of your body weight can lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, decrease change of diabetes, and improve many other aspects of your health.

Not only that, but I'm only 1.6 pounds away from my 207 goal for Disney and I have no doubt I will do that by the end of the week.  I am also excited to see if Nick's family notices my 25 pound weight loss.  Will it make a difference???  I know it does in my face, I barely have a double chin now when I smile!  Woooo!  But the rest of my body it's questionable.  I've been taking measurements and I have lost some around my hips, waist, and bust, but I find my arms and thighs hard to measure in the same place so I don't have a change there but I'm not sure if that's accurate or not.

Success!!!

Had my weigh in, down to 209.  I checked the scale twice.  I about had a heart attack.  I was hoping for 210 something but 209!!!!  Not eating wings from Buffalo Wild Wings last night was the right choice for me!!!   No problem I will be 207 by Disney.  I have a week to lose two pounds.  If I keep this will power I will see under 200 in no time!   Well....vacation may interrupt it but we'll see!

Update

Down to 211.2.   My Weight Watchers weigh in is tomorrow though so hopefully I can get down to the 210 range by then.  That gives me one week to lose 3 pounds before vacation to meet my goal of 207.  I know I can do it, because if I get down to 210 that means I lost three pounds this week and I even struggled mid-week after eating pizza.

I went shopping the other night for vacation clothes and that was difficult.  Shirts usually aren't too bad for me, but I went to four different stores (Kohls, Gordmans, Dress Barn, Old Navy) and didn't find anything.  Some of that was due to a trend in crappy thin fabric, some size, and lastly, giant armholes in tank tops.  I didn't want to have to heavily alter a tank top that was $20 you know?  I had already been to Wal-Mart, Target, and Maurices but hadn't found anything either.

Last night I made a trip to Wal-Mart and saw that there was a Cato by it.  I had forgotten about this store and they have a half hour until close but I thought I'd try it.  Found two shirts, tried on a few more that I could have done but one had ruffles and rhinestones and the other had clear sequins and Nick doesn't like fussy fashion so I opted out because I thought I might feel silly.  I did have to fix the armholes on one of them but it was very simple and quick so no biggie.

Anyway, I can't wait to show you guys pictures from the trip and it shouldn't be too long that I'm showing you pics of 202!  Well, I might gain in Disney but I'm not going to follow WW while I'm there.  It's vacation.  You shouldn't worry about that stuff on Vacation.

212!!!!

So, another good day of eating and I made it!  212!  Just five more pounds to my goal for Disney and if I behave I know it will happen!  I personally don't see too much of a difference from 222 to 212 by my clothes do fit better and my measurements have gone down.  Well the ones that I've been able to log!  Lol.

222 on the left, 212 on the right 

Again, 222 on Left, 212 on right.

Like I said, physically it's hard to see a difference, I tried taking the pictures at the same angle and whatnot but I clearly didn't do a great job!  Lol.

Anyway, see you again at 202!!!!
