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!

Silence Invisible Woman......

TRIGGER WARNING - Surgery and Period Talk I am really struggling with what to write here today so this post may be a little raw and less fun as some of my others LOL   If you don't want to hear about girls health issues, now is the time to leave! I had an experience that really mad me sad and then totally pissed me off!    Have you ever felt invisible? Have you ever met someone who is REALLY REALLY nice and doesn’t want you to worry so they blow a little smoke up your ass and on a good day you believe it and on a less good day you ignore it and let it annoy you a little and then there are days when like it REALLY PISSES YOU OFF….and you just want to scream FUCK YOU….Hear me don’t just listen to me! I don’t want to hear positivity and Pollyanna just because you don’t want to say the negative stuff or because you don’t want me to worry.   Tell me the truth and if you have some words of wisdom, support or positivity that can help,...

Tornado no longer?

 Hey Y’all Thought it was time for an update as it’s been a bit of a storm since I last updated everyone!    As you all know (all 3 of you who read this LOL) the last two years has really been a journey for me to get my physical, mental and spiritual self healthy.    I have been working very slowly on creating better habits, moving more, eating better, reading more, forgiving more, finding gratitude etc….you know all the good things. I have been feeling physically amazing since the surgery, I barely remembered what a day without pain felt like and now most of my days are pain free.     I knew that I would experience some changes once my hormones were not all over the place and my body wasn’t in fight or flight every single moment of every day!     However, I wasn’t really ready for the rollercoaster that has come. On the plus side, I do not need all of the iron, vitamins and supplements I was taking just to be able to drag my ...

Today we slept in and went down for a lovely breakfast and then got ready to go and headed from our hotl down to the waterfront. we walked to the olympic park and then back up to the pier....then we stopped for a lovely peppermint twist mocha at starbucks! we continued on down the waterfront and decided to go to the aquarium.....we got a pic of nemo and dorie! then we went for a beer and grabbed a bus back to our hotel. 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....
