Greetings from Rainy South Dakota! UGH...I know it is better than snow and I know the rain is helping melt the snow but ENOUGH already! I WANT SUN!!!
OK...now that I got that out of my system! Things continue to be going well. I had my 9Th weigh in and lost another 2 pounds. So...I have now lost 20.2 lbs. I was so happy!! I am perfectly fine losing 2 lbs a week!! Although some day it would be nice to jump on the scale and see a 12 lb loss...oh wait....I'm dreaming again!! I know I've said this before but I'm really excited about this. This last weekend I was at the gym and there were a couple of times I wanted to slow down or stop and I would just keep telling myself to remember my dream and that is all it took.
HOWEVER, I know there always has to be a however!!! I did struggle this last Thursday. I went to Sioux Falls to meet with the certification board and after that I went shopping. I was so excited to go clothes shopping...which by the way is abnormal! Well anyway, I went to Lane Bryant and had a melt down. I am not sure how many of you shop there but just in case you have never realized this...their sizes are not true sizes!!! So...I normally wear a 26 and the 26's I wear now are becoming baggy. So I thought I would either go down a size or be close to going down a size. Ummmm....the 26's wouldn't even fit me! I was talking to my husband about this and he said...Jvonne...you go through this every time you go there...when will you learn. Well apparently NEVER!!! I knew going in that they aren't the same but I still put myself through thinking maybe this time it would be different!!! Anyway, at that point I almost said screw it but fortunately some power greater than myself intervened and I came back to reality! I don't understand Lane Bryant at all. WHY do they bring clothes in that are for size 6 -10 people but make them bigger! Did y'all know that leggings and long shirts are coming back? Yah...well not to be mean but there was an employee in there wearing them who should not be wearing them. UGH...we may be fat but don't dress us like we are losing our minds people!!! If I were a designer I would pursue creating larger clothes that are trendy but yet work for larger people!
So...onto my certification. I found out today that they have denied my request; however, I can let my certification lapse and then just reapply. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me other than that will give them an extra $50!!! So, I think I should be good to go.
Well...I need to do a couple of things before biggest loser starts. I hope y'all are doing well and remember to take care of yourselves and do something positive for you because you are worth it!
Love and Peace to all....Jvonne
