Today I went through my wardrobe, knowing that there are a lot of things that are 2-3 sizes too big. I went through most of my pants because I have lost the most the fastest in my legs. I lost 24 pants in total, there are 2 more I should have got rid of, but I like them way too much to let go yet.
Number of jeans that I am left with:
4
Two of which I just bought at the mall yesterday, on clearance of course, because I have know idea how long that they will last me. Both pair were under $20 total. Not too shabby if I must say so myself.
I hope that I will continue to downsize for my health, my BMI was lowered almost a full 10 points in 7 months, but it is still way too high. I shall press on to my healthy eating commitment, the longer I go, the easier it is.
As you can see, the progress is good and bad... I miss having lots of jeans to choose from. : (
Hopefully when I reach my goal, I will be able to afford to expand my wardrobe. : )

Progress
Things have been hectic lately, especially at work, the two crazy, angry ladies at work quit, praise God, even though it leaves us very short handed, there's much less drama. The new guy is a blast, he's from a very Catholic family, he's the youngest of sixteen. We probably need two more part timers for sure to help make up for lost bodies, but it will get better at some point in the near future, I know it.
My nutrition plan is going great, people are telling me just about everyday that I look like I'm doing well. It's very strange to get all the attention, I just wanted to be healthier and feel better about myself. With my personality its very hard to take the comments because the inside of me is the same, and even though the pants sizes say I'm smaller, I don't really feel it. I have a long way to reach my "goal" though. I'm hoping that the time that I reach my one year commitment, that I will have achieved it. I'd like to be a normal-sized, trim person. That is all. Normally I wouldn't want to boast in numbers about my progress, but I should for my own records and so I can maintain motivation when I look into the archives of my blog. I never weighed in at the beginning, but a ball park guess is that in six months time of just watching what I eat and making smart food choices, I've lost approximately 45-55 pounds. I think I can go for probably another 30, and I think I can get close in another six months. The initial weight is the easiest, because that's when you're the most unhealthy and have the most excess. One of my best buddies is my unofficial dietitian. Sometimes I tell her thank you for her motivation and for giving me a a healthier body. Cheesy I know, but she's good at what she's helped me do.
Another exciting thing: I got my new phone and new provider. I hope it will be a happy union. So far I LOVE my new phone. I just got my bluetooth headset off eBay and I'm very pumped for wireless two-handed multi-tasking. Yay.
No doubt I will be more more motivated to stay on the phone longer with loved one's instead of rushing to get off to do something.
I guess that's all for now so far for august, most of the time this summer though, it's been S.S., D.D. Working many hours a week, I'd say 50-60 since I've come back from my all too short vacation. I will probably take another short stretch off in about a month for Oktoberfest in LaCrosse, WI. I don't need to party so much as have a silly excuse to visit my brother and his family. It's always good to see those you love, or else you start to forget what it's all about.
