I’ve lost another 5 pounds. I haven’t really been tracking it lately since I’ve been busy with the holidays and work. But on New Year’s eve, I was trying to pick out clothes to wear. I decided on a beige skort I bought a few weeks before we went to Hawaii in February. I wore this skort in Hawaii and it was a tad loose but it still fit. Well, when I put it on Saturday evening, it fell off. And not only did it fall off, you could almost fit a kid in there with me, lol. (I say that because my 10 year old daughter said “I could fit in there with you!”)

Then I tried on some shorts I wore in Hawaii. Same thing. They fall right off and look ridiculous with a belt since they are so big.

This really blew me away. Because I haven’t really done much to try to lose any more weight. I haven’t gotten back into exercising or anything. And in all honesty, I still struggle with my eating habits. Where I struggle is eating consistently. I forget to eat breakfast a lot. I tend to not eat much throughout the day then have large dinners because I’m so hungry by then.

But I do still watch what I am eating. I don’t eat as much as I used to and my appetite is definitely smaller than what it used to be. (Took the kids to spend our burger bucks at Burger King yesterday and I could barely eat one chicken sandwich.)

So yesterday after my shower, I hopped on the scale. I was down 5 more pounds. I updated my little ticker below and it feels good to see progress even though I’m not actively trying. Maybe it’s better this way, though. Because when I do focus on it, I’m sure I’ll get even better results.

I’m taking my time at losing this weight. When it’s off, I want it off forever. I don’t want to bounce around. So if that means I lose slowly, so be it. As long as I’m making progress.
