Yep bought 2 pair of size 14 jeans :D  I even went to try on some Levi's and they fit too!  I haven't been able to wear Levi since freshman year in college.  Today was a good day :) 

Hey there strangers!
Let's see...  I am still in a 16 but they are officially loose out of the dryer :)  I walked another 5k (MD).  YAY!!  I crossed my legs under a table.  Double YAY!!  My husband didnt recognize me when he came out of a bathroom. Big friggin YAY!!
I also am realizing how important exercise is to my success and am trying to make it a consistent part of my new lifestyle.  While I'm sharing...  I am more aware of my stress eating.  It manifests in the form of milkshakes and brownies instead of 2 meals from a restaurant.  Still not good but nowhere near as bad as I was.  I am stressing over my husband's possible deployment or exit from the Navy in June.  I am opening a new store in a new position and I don't want to let anyone down.  I have to move at the end of MAy and haven't found a place yet.  To top it all off, I am a matron of honor and have to plan and participate in three showers (I asked her if she could move her wedding back a couple months and she said no!)  lol  Did I mention this is all happening in the next two months?  Yeah I've had a couple milkshakes :D
I should really talk to people b/c I typically hold it in.  I even admitted to my hubby about the stress eating but he took that as a "take your own advice moment" and I shut down.  We'll see.  I think that catches you up.

edited to add:  I am still trying to be a part of this study to have an IUC (Merina) and they called yesterday to say that my Iron is low :(  No real surprise with the cycles from hell that last 3 weeks.  May have to stay on pills or just get it outside of the study.  Now, you're caught up.

This is awesome.  I am officially sixteen in pants and XL in juniors or L in regular sizes.  I am thrilled.  Shoes even fit better at this point.  No issues so far with my fill on Thursday.  I went out last night and was able to eat some mashed potatoes, chips and salsa.  Able to take my bcp now as well ( hubby VERY happy) and dropped past 212 finally to 208.  Have a great weekend!

First fill today:)  2 cc's in with no pain.  He found it very quickly and I was in and out.  Now the fun of returning to liquids for today and tomorrow.  I AM HUNGRY!!  TTYL :D

5k= DID IT!! YAY!  It was great.  The weather was awesome and the company was amazing.  Saw a pic from it and realize I still have a ways to go :)

Our company is participating in the MDA in run/ walk in San Diego.  HAHA  I will only be participating in the walk portion of the event.  I'll check in to tell you how that goes.  
On another note I am down another belt hole on a belt that I just recently was able to fit again!  YAY!

So much has happened in the past two weeks!  I was offered a new position in a new store!  YAY!  I am still stuck at 212 but that's okay because even though the scale hasn't moved I am now, brace yourself, in a SIXTEEN!!!!  Not only have I moved into another size but today, THREE dudes checked me out :D  I had forgotten how that felt.  It is amazing how much of yourself you hide because you don't feel worthy or visible. Speaking of visible, I walked past a mirror and had to walk back because I didn't realize it was me.  It has been an amazing journey and I can't wait for more victories.  That's it for now...

Threw up today :(  Maybe I'm just sick but who knows.  Period still here :( and gained three pounds :(  Not having a good day :(  I am going to the movies and hopefully that'll cheer me up. :)

I decided to pick up some new pants for work.  I still had a gc from Xmas.  I head back to the plus section.  The pants I normally wear only had four pants and they weren't my size.  So figure why not check the regular section to see how the 18s fit.  THEY FIT!!!!!!  Holy crap!  I bought a pair of dockers Khakis size 18 from the REGULAR side :D  Very ecxited to share :)

Dr Arian says I am no longer pre diabetic!!  YAY!!!  I was scared because my mom, grandma and great grandma all had diabetes.  Very refreshing that this decision has broken a cycle in my family :)

Tried this great corn chowder from Trader Joe's and it is delicious.  I added cheese and red pepper flakes.  I walked 2.3 miles and shaved off more minutes from my mile.  I am almost back to my pre op speed.  Slowly but surely.  I am also seeing a difference in my face.  I almost have a jawline!  I wore a dress for the first time in a long time.  My hubby couldn't keep his eyes off of my girls ;)  They were on display HA  

Back to work on Monday, I'm going to miss being at home and spending time with hubby.  I'll also miss the chauffer service :)

That's it for now.
