Some nights

So here is the latest news of my life (which really isn't much)

Since my last post my wonderfully consistent weight loss has hit a snag...or a plateau if you will. It became apparent that my days of losing two pounds a week are over. I think my body has lost as much weight as it can without exercise. So here are my stats. In the middle of June I weighed in at 175 pounds and a size 14. After 3 months of following the skinny rules I now weigh in at 145 pounds giving me a total loss of 30 pounds. Also, I am now coming in at my long lost size 8. Also my large shirts have gone to a medium.
I am not at all upset that I've hit my plateau, because my plateau is right were I'm happy being. Also I know that if I were to start working out I'd be able to lose more. I also am aware that I have relaxed on the skinny rules a bit the past couple weeks.

Last weekend my baby cousin got married. It was a perfectly beautiful day. I decided to let myself go a little bit (diet wise) for her big day. I had the prime rib for dinner with some seriously delicious garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. I also broke with my alcohol rule and decided to enjoy the open bar a bit and had three glasses of wine. On top of that I gave in to the first desert I've had since July 4th, and ate half a piece of the wedding cake. At first I was worried that I'd get home and would step on the scale to find a five pound weight gain. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't gain a pound, or lose a pound but was right were I had been.

So along with my newly rediscovered size I have been spending far too much money buying clothes to go with my new size. The other week my mom and I went to the outlet mall. We decided to go into the Tommy Hilfiger outlet. We didn't buy anything but when we walked out we both were in love.
On a whim today we decided to go back to the outlet mall. We went in Tommy Hilfiger and again fell in love. I found a cute beyond cute sweater that last week was a bit pricey and this week was 50% off. I knew I had to get it. We continued looking and I came out with 2 pairs of pants for work and another shirt. Even dear heart came out with a shirt. Normally I dislike shopping at expensive places like that but I couldn't resist the cuteness and the 40% off signs all over the place.

Not much else to say. This coming week is going to suck. On Wednesday we have a 3 day field trip to southern Indiana. Yes three days and two night with the kiddos from school...I'm so not excited about it. I am just ready for it to be over.

Otherwise fall has officially set in and it is time for the comfy warm clothes.
