Seriously?? I'm wearing a size 10!!!!

I went to the mall today to buy the finishing touches for the outfit I'm wearing tonight, a cousin is hosting his 30th birthday bash! In the last couple of weeks my size 12's have been getting looser. I am always reluctant about buying the next size down because I don't know if they're really going to fit. Well I brought three pairs of jeans and a dress (all size 10) in the dressing room to try on and guess what???? They all fit!!! I couldn't believe it!! I felt so sexy and happy all at the same time.

I keep working and pushing myself to go to the next level. I honestly thought I'd be cool with making it into a size 12 and staying there, but now I realize I'm past that and I'm not finished! I don't know if I'll stay in a 10 or make it to an 8, I just know I'm well on my way to claiming my new and improved self! I'll post pics of my party outfit later :-)!

How I feel this morning "Mary J. Blige - Just Fine"

This morning I woke up with this song on my heart. I am a HUGE Mary fan and her music always seems to offset whatever mood I'm in. I'm loving who I am...just fine!

The weekly check in 11/22/10

I'm checking in today because yesterday I wasn't feeling well. I didn't complete my morning workout and walked out the front door to the beginning of snow fall. My plan was to get my workout done when I made it home, no such luck!! It took me three hours to get home (due to Seattle's first winter storm) and it normally takes me twenty minutes to get home!

To make matters worse, I live on a steep hill and my car cannot make it up the hill. So I parked at the grocery store at the bottom of the hill and walked the rest of the way home. Needless to say when I finally made it inside I was too cold and too agitated to do anything but eat dinner and go to bed!

Anyhoo, I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm at 172.6! This is down 1.2 pounds from last Monday. I'm glad the scale is still moving down! I just might make it to 170 by next Monday! I wasn't able to complete all of the workouts I schuled but I still worked out 6 days last week at least once a day. Food was on point again as well. I did eat out at one of my favorite restaurants (Joey's) on Sunday.

Even with Thanksgiving being this week my determination to lose weight will not rest. I will not partake in the gluttony that is "Thanksgiving." I don't let holidays derail all of my hard work. I've worked too damn hard to let myself just fall completely off the wagon. I enjoy what I like in total moderation. This way I don't feel deprived. I also don't bring home leftovers. Tempation is a bitch when you know you LOVE baked mac n cheese and you have an entire plate of it in the fridge lol!

With all of that said I had another great week! I'm planning for this week to be even better in spite of the nasty weather surrounding Seattle! I'm pissed that I'm missing my beloved Spin class tonight but I'll get over it :-)

Climbing into my old pants lol!

These are a pair of size 22 wide leg Venezia jeans that I wore last year. I liked the wide leg, but these jeans at one point were super snug around the waist! As you can see not only I can fit my entire body in one of the pant legs...my daughter's were both able to climb in with me lol!!!

Again, another pair of old work slacks...size 20...fitting in one leg! These pants are being held for illustration purposes only!  

BLOG NAME CHANGE!!!

I've decided to change the name of my blog! My own name is lovely but I wanted to change things up a bit! My new name Phyt (Fit), Phat (Hot) and Phyne (Fine..Sexy)! This is an accurate description of me as of right now. I feel amazing on the inside and out. I'm sharing my world with others and making strides at becoming a better woman everyday. What's not to love about that?
