200 DAYS!! okay actually 230, sue me...

Here I am back again....I forgot I had even done the 100 days photo and blog, I am so used to just hiding my weight (as if i was actually hiding it...hello??) .

The last little bit of my journey has been very encouraging and also super discouraging!   I have always had a physical and mental block around that 30lb weight loss zone and always seemed to plateau for a long time and then give up.   


With the help of my group in Langley, my family, sharing recipes with Rachel, and Denise challenging me I forged on and have broken the 40 lb mark!

Now I am working hard to get my 50lb charm.   Denise and I have also been challenging each other to walk and so far I have completed over 250 MILES!!! since September!!!!  I have two medals from my first 100 mile challenges and we are currently in the midst of our next challenge through My Pacer to walk across the Bahamas (256 miles!) 

Denise is considerably ahead of me in the Bahamas, but she was on vacation in Mexico....I am hoping I will catch up to her when I am in DC and NYC in March.

Okay Tara....god....you ramble so much some times....what brought you to write today specifically!

sooo....

I am getting ready to go to my planner conference and of course you need to make sure you have all the things and I needed new jammies for planjama (this is where planners party in their pajamas...don't judge me) as well as some new clothes that will work for work as well.   It's only been a year since I was in California but those jammies do not fit anymore.   I was really nervous when I was shopping, I took my measurements and purchased clothes online based on those measurements, not what i thought I should buy.

Last night the Llama Jamma's showed up and when I took them out of the bag and held them up I thought there is no way....this is two sizes smaller and looks like its 5 sizes smaller.   I threw them on the kitchen table and walked away discouraged.

This morning though, as I was getting changed for work, I thought what the heck lets try them on and see how bad it is, maybe I still have time to do a return and get another pair.   But holy hell.... THEY FIT.....WELL... like with some room......
well what do you know....I had to check the tags to see if I was reading it right, and then i immediately ran into the bedroom and tried on my skinny jeans, WTF they fit nice too.....

You may be wondering why I am so surprised?  Well a month ago I took my 200 day photo and to be honest I didn't see much change....let me show you.

100 days down
  
200 days down

it really doesn't feel like there was a ton of movement, I mean, I can see it a bit in my face but my stomach doesn't look smaller!  Maybe my boobs are pushing my t-shirt out, I should have worn the same shirt.   For my 300 day pic I am going to wear the plaid shirt to show the difference.

So the moral of the story is.....just try on the jeans....you never know!

Anyways, that is my story for today.  Till next time!

Continued adventures in dating.....

Good Morning readers! All three of you! I know you are chomping at the bit to hear all about my wild and crazy adventures in babysitting uh online dating. Well for the most part it seems to be a wash out.   I will talk with some interesting guys and it seems good and then POOOOFF...they are gone.   I suspect its because i don't jump on the hey come F^&* me train fast enough?   Either that or my busy schedule doesn't work for them.   For the most part thought its just dudes looking for nookie! Don't get me wrong, it hasn't all been bad, I have talked to some really nice guys but so far it hasn't turned in to much.   But let me tell you about one experience I had last night. I have seen this guys profile on a couple of different sites - he uses the same three lame pictures which were taken one right after the other and then describes how amazing he is in the context of the stuff he has and what he has accomplished.  He is kind of cute.. i guess...

So excited.....last night I got home from my date (more on that later) and there was a package waiting for me....I almost peed my pants.   That could have been from the coffee and large water I drank and then held for two hours and then rode the bus home and then walked to my house basically with my legs crossed....but maybe it was because there was a package.   We may never know.....I digress!

We got ready for our dinner and got a cab to take us to Cafe Campagne. we had an amazing three course dinner with lovely wine pairings and a lovely chocolate Digestif. Chris wanted to go for another walk.....so we headed down to the park, once there he looked me ddep in the eyes and told me how much he loved me....then he dropped to one knee and produced the lovely mahogany ring box....he asked me if i would make him the happiest man on earth and be his wife. you know me....
