Week 25 Weigh In/ Summer Break Baby!/ Color Trend Alert

Week 25 Weigh In: Out Of The Nineties!!!

After a weekend of partying I was able to pull it together and drop 7.6 lbs this week!  I am now 188.8 lbs for a total of 39.4 since Jan. 2nd.  Now why couldn't that scale just give me the 0.6 lbs??  My next goal is 180.  I have a vacation in Cleveland coming up in three weeks and I need to be tight and right!  I can't wait to finally like what I look like in pictures and feel comfortable in my clothes.  Comfortable meaning, no tugging on my shirt to make room for my stomach, no trying to sit in the right position so I don't look humongous, no sucking in my stomach when someone walks by...you know what I'm talking about.

Now that I am getting further and further away from 200 lbs, my inspiration picture that I keep on the fridge doesn't seem so impossible to reach anymore.  I actually see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I found an old diary of mine that said I was 175 lbs in that pic.  Um, excuse me?  I had no stomach and a cute shape.  Hard to believe that when I was still 50 lbs overweight.  People keep asking me what my goal weight is and look at me crazy when I tell them 110. LOL  I'm only 5 feet tall ya'll.  But really, I will stop when I am not clinically overweight.  That means, not only a healthy BMI, but I don't want to see any fat on my body.  I don't know how many pounds that will be though.

 This may seem crazy, but every so often (everyday), I look in the mirror and don't recognize myself.  That really keeps me going because I actually have no clue what I look as a thin adult.  I absolutely can't wait to become that woman.  I just have to stay focused.  My appetite has changed and so has my relationship with food.  Since my love affair with sweets has not changed, I find myself making better choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so that I can still have my "snack" of choice.  My endocrinologist probably won't like that method, but hey, it is working for me.  As long as the scale moves in a downward direction I will stick with this method.

Summer Break Baby!:  OK So It's Only 3 Weeks...

The Spring Quarter at Strayer ended last week and I couldn't be happier. This has been the most stressful 11 weeks. I will admit it is partially my fault because I had a few extra things on my plate. Let me recap- I started my weight loss journey on Jan. 2 and joined two contests that required much time and effort in the gym. I was enrolled in two online classes and one long distance relationship, all while trying to not have a mental breakdown from being pulled in 100 different directions!

But what do you know, I made it through with and A and a B (B is for BS!!), my man is happy, and I haven't kirked out on anybody (intentionally) Lol. I am not looking forward to next quarter beginning July 9th, but it does represent my last quarter, EVER! I will walk that stage on Saturday, Oct. 27th, Lord willing, and I'm never gonna look back. This will be the day I begin my life. You know, the one I put on hold because I didn't have my degree yet. What better way to celebrate this than with a brand new body. I can't wait to go into 2013 with a renewed mind, body, and soul. And finally, a resolution that has NOTHING to do with weight loss.
This summer's challenges: Biggest Loser at Victory Lady, Sizzling Summer Weight Loss Challenge on Facebook/Youtube, and Supreme 90 Day Challenge with a few brave souls =)  Updates coming soon.

Color Trend Alert: Mellow Yellow

I am excited about one of this season's new color trends- yellow!  I saw some Pinterest clippings of different ways to rock your yellow and I bought a pair of leggings and 2 pairs of shorts to get this thing rolling. 

Well, if you know me then you know I'm Aggie Born, Aggie Bread, and when I die I'll be Aggie Dead!  To celebrate this year's NC A&T Homecoming I will attempt to rock this look and not let the look rock me!  What do you think?

Gotta wear these shoes to somebody's Day Party!

Love the bag and jeggings. I need these thicker heels though. 

Oh no, I just looked up the date for homecoming 2012 and it is Oct 26-28th!! That is the same weekend I graduate from Strayer University!!  Sad and happy #doubleemotion!  Oh well, guess I will have to catch a MEAC game.  AGGIE PRIDE!
