hmmm update?

wellllll lets see. things have been a bit hectic here some days, calm the others. 
im 212 now, 76 lbs down! but i havent budged in weeks and today being thanksgiving im SURE didnt help. thats okay. 
a friend recently sized down (yay for her and also i wont lie im jealous of her 20 lbs smaller than me frame!) and she gave me all of her size 16 and XL clothes...they all fit fantastically...matter o fact, i successfully wore a flattering pair of size 16 skinny jeans...ive never worn a pair before and i was nervous, but i dig em! 

i havent been able to exercise...correction, havent found MUCH time or much motivation with it being so rainy, i cant ride my bike much, and i have the littles with me all day so my options are limited to WALKING. which isnt bad but i want more than that! 
im sure ill find a balance and maybe get motivated to play my biggest loser game or something. 

actually thats going to help! biggest loser is coming back on and i always seem to lose weight watching every week. :) 
i have been doing full time school, "work" which is really an unpaid volunteer internship thingy, and mothering and somedays im ehausted and some days i have no time for me things, thats okay im enjoying things! 

i chopped off my hair, and im amazed at how much thinner it makes me look. i for sure thought the opposite. but no no, it shows off the work ive done in my shoulders and it shows off the work ive done to my jawline, MUCH more flattering than my hair before which left my face looking chubby and my shoulders more broad! and j loves it...cant go wrong there :) 

i havent been tracking, and i can tell that has played a role in my plateau, also it seems like i plateau every 10 or so lbs, so i know its just the process. for sure though i was NOT responsible foodwise this thanksgiving...and im expecting a 1 lb return as well as a couple lbs of water weight from the sodium and just lots of food to digest. 

im learning a LOT in my nutrition class, the hardest class ever mind you, and im trying to incorporate it. we'll see how it goes :) 

im excited for the next 7 months. my best friend gets married in June, and I will be there obviously, and likely wearing a svelte pants suit, so i have no choice but to look amazing! :)

anyhow, thats whats been up here. i promise you few readers this, that i WILL get better at tracking and get some exercise in and im going to get my goal...complacency has no place in health :)
