GOAL!

I was so excited about hitting 193.0 yesterday that I didn't even realize I'd hit one of my mini-goals!  Goal 5.  Woot!  3.5lbs. to my next mini-goal.  :D  I don't know how I've missed that, but I did.  But I guess that is ok because it sorta gave me a topic for today's blog.  I'm really excited about my next two goals.  I know it may seem silly, but I look forward to crossing them off of my little 'Goals' list.  I'm actually excited about the next 3.  The 30lb. goal is a big one, but the next one is really the one I am looking forward to.  Goal 8.  I haven't seen 183.0 in so many years I'm not sure how I will feel.  I don't expect to see that until December, but it's still been on my mind.  And then it's been hitting me that I really hope to be down in the 160's come April of next year.  That's if I continue to lose about a pound a week.  There's 12 weeks left in this year and my Sunday weigh-in on April 1 would be the end of week 13 for the 2012 year.  That's a possibility of 12 to 25lbs.  So, come Spring I could be in need of a whole new wardrobe.  Because if I DO average about a pound a week, that would put me in the 160's.  Nothing I own currently would fit at that weight, I don't think.  Maybe a few tops, but I will need basically a whole new wardrobe.  Even the tops would probably be too large.  All of my tops are XL right now except for a few plus size shirts that I bought large to wear as shirt-dresses or tunics.  I've taken every stitch of maternity out.  Then there are the shirts that are L that are from before I got preggo this last time.  Those are starting to fit now, but there aren't a lot since I got pregnant shortly after I bought them.  As in, a month or two after!  But I will make them work as long as possible.  After that, I am not sure what it will be like to move to a smaller size.  I haven't really worn a M as an adult.  I will be in all new territory.  But I don't plan on buying anything until I have to.  At this point, I feel like I should stretch my current wardrobe as long and far as I can.  Part of the reason for the cami's and the cardi's.  I know I can wear those for a long time.

I've already noticed that my clothes are starting to fit differently.  One thing is my underwear.  My bra's still fit about the same... maybe the band area is smoother.  But my undies are finally sitting right again.  I had noticed that many of them wanted to roll down in the waistband area.  Even my newer ones.  But now they sit smooth and feel comfy.  Also, my new jeans are fitting better and better.  But some of the old stuff is already starting to feel blah.  I have a couple of dresses and a couple of tops that are just getting TOO lose.  I love these clothes, but I am thinking that I am going to have to let them go at some point.  I feel like wearing clothes too big is as bad as wearing clothes too small -- both make your size look off!  I'll wear them while I can, but before long I know they will be more like tents than I am willing to deal with.  It drives me crazy when I have to constantly be pulling at my clothes.  A couple of pairs of my 'jeggings' are already starting to look that way so I may have to suck it up and buy new ones.  I really only wear them with oversized sweaters and boots.  But I wore them at my heaviest right after baby as my transition pants last year and this year, well, they are looking worn.  I am thinking new ones are the way to go at this point.  They are so stretched out!  But I got them on sale at JCPenney and I think they will be on sale again.  Maybe I can get them in short since the other pairs were so long!  I will also probably get a smaller size.  The ones I had were XL and stretched to the max.  I hope to be in the 180's at the end of this month and if I am, I think I will get the pants in L.  Even if they are really snug, I really only wear them as leggings and not as pants so it would be fine and they would really help me transition my clothes a bit longer.  I don't want to spend a fortune on clothes, but I'm not willing to look and feel like crap for it.

I ended up not taking it easy yesterday.  I've tried to today since I am so tired.  I just did a butt ton of housework yesterday.  One thing kept leading to another and I just kept going and going until I realized it was late and I should go to bed.  I've done a lot today, but not overkill like yesterday.  I don't know what came over me!  I was just a cleaning MO-CHINE!  LOL  But at least I got a lot done.  But I'm glad I got so much done cause youngest was up a lot last night and well, I'm somewhat of a zombie today.  I've done stuff and played with youngest and I'm about to help oldest do his schoolwork, but I'm just out of it.  No energy.  I feel bad cause other than some snugglin' and ticklin', youngest has spent a lot of time watching TV today!  Of course part of the time he wasn't watching or was eating and sleeping, but still.  Just been a boring sorta day.

Well, I guess I should be wrapping this up.  I might even write a bit.  I've decided to start trying to get some of my words 'on paper'.  I always have great story ideas but I can never seem to get them down.  So, I decided that I should at least try.  I don't think I will try to get published or anything, but I'd like to just get these stories down.  Off for now chicks.  Hope your week started off great!
