Two Months
Happy Two Months of Ideal Protein to me!!!!
What a fun and FAST 2 months it has been!
My goals for this month were to get to 25lbs down, fit into my Summer 2009 jeans and some 2007 jeans.
I've unofficially hit 27bs down on my scale. I was down 23.2lbs last Thursday. I'll weigh in on Thursday for an official total, since my scale has always been a little bit different.
I fit into all of the Summer 2009 jeans that I had set aside. I haven't tried on the 2007 jeans because I'm not exactly sure where they are. Apparently the pants I had out were 2006 and earlier. They're...a little too small. But if I had to guess, I'd say that I now fit into some of my later 2007 pants.
So I've lost about 10lbs this month. I'm officially down a size and have had to move some of the clothes I was wearing at the beginning of the year out of the closet and into totes. Yes, I'm saving them because I do plan to have another baby some day, and I might need those pants post baby...Although I'm pretty sure that my maternity pants would be too big.
Last night I went shopping with a friend who is also losing weight at about the same speed I am. We're both experiencing the same confusion when we look in the mirror--who is this person?
Today I met with a friend for lunch--she was out last week--and the first thing she said to me was "You lost a bunch of weight in the last week!" and when we went down the cafeteria the grill chef called me over. He wanted to tell me that when he saw me this morning he didn't recognize me. He said "You skinny now".
While I'm not ready to accept "skinny" as a word to describe me, I do appreciate the feedback. I think it's also hard because at this weight 6 years ago I thought I was fat. I had gained 25lbs and was so depressed. So it is hard for me to look at myself at this weight and see...skinny.
For now it's...."not as chubby as I used to be".
So I guess it's time to make some goals for next month:

Here's to another successful month of IP!!
