Did I Really Do That?

I am quite irreversably NOT a morning person. Though I'm generally not grumpy, per se, I'm pretty much a sloth for the first hour or so after waking up.

However, this week, I got up at 6AM (2 hours earlier than normal) to go to the gym - three days in a row! HUGE deal for me.

I took yesterday off because I wasn't feeling well, and I'm giving myself Fridays off in the hope that I'll stay awake past midnight, but seriously? 6AM? Three days in a row?

Wow.

Now, if only the scale would come back soon - it can't take too long to recalibrate, right?

Back in the 300s!!

Not by much, but I'm back in the 300s. :D

395.6

Let's try this again, shall we?

There is absolutely no reason for a grown woman to allow herself to be 400 pounds without a good reason. And I don't know of a good reason.

Today, I weighed in at 402.4 pounds.

Today, I did half an hour on the treadmill at 2.2 MPH.

Today, I take my life back.

When I tried this tunic on, I was immediately reminded of why I don't purchase tops in light colors, especially through this company. I ordered the tunic in Sundance, and despite wearing a skin-tone bra, I could still see my bra through it, which also meant that of course I could clearly see my dark-colored jeans through it. I've also uploaded a picture of how you can see the printed tag through it. I liked the fit and the drape, but since I already have other tops in blue, red and black, I'm undecided as to whether I will try to dye it (not an easy feat with it being partially polyester), give it away, or pay the shipping to exchange it for a darker color. I would only recommend this top in red, blue or black, unless you plan on wearing another top just as long underneath.

I had such high hopes for this one

This is one that I might actually take the time to send back, rather than passing it on to a friend or relative. The first time I saw it, I immediately wanted it, but was so let down when I got it. I have no problem flaunting what I have, but when I think of "flaunting what I have," it doesn't typically include my entire upper torso and my bra. The neckline is way too low and the shoulders are set way too far apart. A tailor quoted me more than I actually paid for this shirt to have it fixed, and on me, it looks ridiculous with a tank underneath. If I bought the next size down, the rest of it would be too small.
