Non Scale Victories!!

This has been an exciting week! For many reasons but mainly: I finally tried on my jeans that I have been dreading putting on, and guess what?! THEY FIT! With a little room to spare!! Phew!! I was so relieved/excited.  I even did a happy dance.  If you are a girl, or guy, who has struggled with weight gain you know what it starts to feel like when your favorite jeans just keep getting tighter and tighter?! It is the worst feeling ever.  Especially if you are like me and are a "jeans and tshirt" kinda girl.  

TSFL & Medifast both have NSV's, Non Scale Victories.  This was my first big one. :) It made my whole day that much better! I was putting off trying my jeans on.  What if they were still super tight? What if I had gained weight?! Right?! Well, I knew that I was on the right track when I put them on and they fit! I've noticed that fatty weight that keeps just melting off of me if definitely coming off of places that I hadn't even thought would ever be small again.  My thighs are shrinking, my waist, my face! I'm just so surprised by the transformation that is happening! Thank you TSFL! You are giving me back my confidence, my love for life!!! <3

My other NSV of this week is, I went out to a local Pub last night and drank... WATER! Even though all I wanted was a big fat Costco size glass of wine last night. ;)  We all have those cravings; whether it be wine, cheesecake or a burger.  We all have days where that is all we want, and all we can think about! Well, that was my yesterday.  With both wine and cheesecake.  :/ (EEK!!) But I stuck to my guns.  I got dressed up as though I was going to go hit the town! (Ps, I live in Small Town USA, We currently have 1 bar open past 10pm).  I think just getting dressed pretty, makeup done, hair done, cute clothes, helped me so much.  

I have stuck to my plan completely for 10 days now.  If you've been reading along with me, that's the longest I've gone w/o cheating.  And I am in NO hurry to begin cheating! I am going to stick with this! Soon those jeans will be falling off of me, and I can not wait!!  

I am learning with my L&G to keep it simple, stupid! There is no point in making a whole separate meal just for me.  Especially when Chris & Sydney are so easy to cook for.  (Unless they want pizza, or something I really can't eat).  For example, dinner tonight is: pork chops marinated in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, some steak seasoning and oregano.  Along with roasted asparagus (LOVE) and zucchini!! Sydney gets to have rice and a roll with hers! Super sonic easy right?! :) 

Speaking of dinner, I'd better get off the computer and get to cooking!!! Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather!! <3
