i was going to do a big giant update, because i've been neglecting writing here [but not reading], but i just don't feel like there's much to say. or, if there is, i don't feel like typing it.
i will put in a diet update. today marks 6 weeks of "dieting" [low carb, essentially], and minimal working out [far less than i should be, but that will change]. today's weigh-in showed i was down 15.2 lbs from my starting point. that means i'm down about 20 lbs from my heaviest, and i'm 4.8 lbs from my first official 20 lb goal. i don't really have an end-point set this point, but reaching that first goal will feel fantastic.
josh and i are having engagement photos taken next weekend, so i was trying to find a top to wear for that. i had something in mind, and was getting really frustrated trying to find something just right. nothing extravagant, just something that made me look good. i looked at a couple of places on thursday after work, with no luck. i went to the mall friday evening, and found absolutely nothing that fit the bill. so, yesterday i headed off and my luck changed. after buying a "safety outfit" at the bay, i went to marshall's, and found something! not what i'd pictured - not flowy and airy, and it's black - but i think it makes me look pretty swell. judge for yourselves, here it is:
in fact, i liked the top the so much, i bought it in yellow as well. the cowl neck may not be really obvious in that photo, but it does good things, i swear. i wore the yellow one today, with a pair of dark jeans that i could hardly button [and certainly couldn't leave the apartment in] when i wanted to wear them to justin's engagement dinner april 8th. 6 weeks and those jeans have gone from way too much overflow to none at all. it feels great.
we went to the jays game today, with andrew. i hadn't seen him since my birthday [a month ago] and the first words out of his mouth were "you look good!" it felt wonderful and so flattering that he'd walk into union and that's the first thing he noticed. i felt hot. |
