Adventures in Bridesmaid Dresses
Ok. So I should preface this by saying that I went into this not caring what number size I got, because honestly it doesn’t matter because I have made so much progress.
I really do love my dress. I’m wearing the dress and color shown (to the left, or top picture if you’re on your dash) and the bridesmaids are wearing guava. AND IT HAS POCKETS! Love it.
And J looked sooooo...

Today's List of Awesome
I’ve seen quite a few people do this. And today was such a good day (so far) that I felt the need to put it to paper…orrrr internetz.
Had a great weigh in, am less then 2 lbs away from the 90 lbs lost mark.
Dad had a great weigh in and is (1) no longer obese and (2) closing in on being less than 200 lbs!
I learned how to do a fishtail braid. This is a huge deal for me. There is that...

In Other Fantabulous News....
Since I have really started working with my dad to lose weight, (i.e. May) my dad has lost almost 20 lbs.
Is 7.8 lbs away from no longer being in the 200s.
AND is no. longer. obese. on the BMI scale.
For being in his late 50s and having metabolism issues because of the Parkinson’s I am freakin’ over the moon about this!
Come live with me and I’ll help you lose weight :)

New Favorite Game
Watching the Biggest Loser (on Netflix) and seeing how long I can say “I’ve lost more weight then all y’all.”
It’s the little things.

Good news: I’ve lost 4.5” in the last 20 days.
Bad news: I can’t really put pressure on my right foot.
*shrug* I’m working out 6 days a week. I’m bound for a few injuries.
P.S. what did I do? I have no idea. Although, traveling squats probably didn’t help.

Are you there tumblr?
It’s me. Margaret.Sarah.
I haven’t tumbled in a while. Which in this case is a good thing.
I’ve been staying busy working out, cooking and hanging out with my husband.
(Who actually bought a bike on Friday. Which is a huge deal. If you know me. You know why.)
Not much has changed though. Amy (my trainer) is still trying to kill me. I’m still teeter-tottering the 190 mark (come on 180s,...

Nothing like realizing you’re going to be in a wedding and having that go from sheer joy to panic when you think about how much you’ll have to spend.
Throw in school, textbooks (for me AND Pete), credit card payments and general life. And I am a heartbeat away from a panic attack.
I thought thing were getting better!!
Fucking money.

Holy cow!!! I’m almost out of the 190s!
Upped my calories (cause I never stop moving now) and lost weight.
Calories = fuel. Not fat.
Just sayin.

Past.
It’s funny. Now that I am less than 20 lbs away from my goal weight. I’ve been thinking more about what it was life when I was at my biggest.
And what flipped that switch in my head.
It made me think of this one day, where I was sick as a dog (at my heaviest) and had to turn in an assignment at school.
I had no make-up on, I was pasty and just generally looked like death.
So. of course, I...
