Fuck, man
I just realised I haven’t been the size I am now since I was in middle school.
That is all.
Weight Loss Stats Dos
02.18.10: 230 lbs, size 18, 44”, 37”, 47”
08.17.10: 180 lbs, size 12, 41”, 34.5”, 41”
09.27.10: 168 lbs, size 10/12, 39.5”, 33.25”, 39.5”
Lost since last check in: 12 lbs, 1/2 dress size*, 4.25” (1.5”, 1.25”, 1.5”)
Total loss: 62 lbs, almost four dress sizes*, 15.75” (4.5”, 3.75”, 7.5”)
*The size 12 clothes I have are too big, and they’re too big when I try new ones on at stores, but the size 10s are still a little snug. According to the sizes, I’m just half an inch away from them fitting so much better. We’ll see where I am next month. :)
My teeth are sooooo white. Thank you, Target brand whitening strips haha. Over the past few months I’ve been getting more and more into eating more unprocessed foods, using natural skin care, etc., but I just haven’t been able to find a natural, “chemical-free” toothpaste that cleans quite as well as whatever the fuck is in whitening toothpastes and whitening strips. I am totally okay with this though, because when my teeth are nice and clean and sparkly, I am a very happy person indeed.

I think there’s a difference, and it’s not the obvious tan that I didn’t have before. XD
My boots fit!!!!!
Okay, well they’ve always fit my feet. I wouldn’t have bought them otherwise. But, when I first bought them back in February, they did not go that high up on my leg. At all. They sit a little under my knees right now and they’re completely comfortable and not too tight, even though this is the first time I’ve worn them… since I bought them.
I’d been wanting a pair of these gorgeous, purple Nine West boots since November, but whenever I found them they either a. weren’t in my size or b. weren’t purple. So, when I was up in Seattle with my parents over the Valentine’s Day weekend this year and I found a pair of these in the mall, I had to have them. My mama was willing to pay for them, so I especially had to have them.
Unfortunately, when I tried them on, I couldn’t quite pull them all the way up over my calves. Instead of going up over my calves and resting below my knees like they were supposed to, they got stuck at the bottom of the curve of my calf and refused to budge. My mama kept asking if they were supposed to fit like that, the sale’s associate asked if I needed a larger size, and I kept trying to pull those fuckers up higher. But they fit in the actual foot area just fine, so getting a bigger size wouldn’t have made sense! Eventually I just told everyone I liked the way they fit and I bought them.
I never wore them, they just ended up sitting in my closet, in their box, underneath a couple bags of things…
Until now!
I’m so glad I suddenly got the urge to wear them, because they actually fit now! I just want to put them on and jump around because THEY FIT. I really shouldn’t have bought shoes that, you know, didn’t fit, but they do now, so I’m going to have to say that it was a good call on my part. ;)
Festa Italiana!
Went to the Portland Festa Italiana today with Krystal! We only stayed for a couple hours, but the band we watched was really great and fun, and the Crostini Toscana I ordered was super yummy. The tomatoes and the ricotta were perfect and the bread was crispy and buttery and mmm. Also got a Romano’s Italian Soda. I don’t usually drink soda, but it beckoned to me :P There’s a picture of it below this post. It was pretty much just carbonated water, artifical flavouring and sugar, but it was real sugar! Which makes me way happier in my soul than HFCS.
Anyway, we got there at kind of a bad time I think, because they took a 2-3 hour break in their line up after Ray Massa’s EuroRhythms played, and we got bored. The food was a little on the spendy side, but it was yummy and like I said, the music was great. There were also puppets! We didn’t see the puppet show, but the puppets were so good to look at. I think I’ll need to go back tomorrow or Saturday, later in the evening, to get the full experience! And if I do, I’ll get pictures of the puppets for sure.
My babies ♥
What makes me happy today is the cute new Food Network show, Aarti Paarti (a.k.a. Aarti Party)! This is a video from her pre-Food Network days, when Aarti Paarti was all online, but the point still stands. I think she’s super adorable and super fun, and really, you have to be to pull off a silly name like Aarti Paarti. But she pulls it off and I’m really loving the new show, because she’s so bright and bubbly and it really does feel like a party! But anyway, I can’t wait until the next new episode next Sunday, so I’ll just have to keep watching the online show for now.
First Happy: Weight Loss Stats
You know what makes me super happy right now? My current weight loss stats.
02.18.10: 5’4”, 230 lbs, size 18, 44”, 37”, 47”
08.17.10: 5’4”, 180 lbs, size 12, 41”, 34.5”, 41”
Total loss: Still short, 50 lbs, 3 dress sizes, 11.5 inches (3”, 2.5”, 6”)
Those are a few days old but haha, I don’t measure myself all the time, that would be pointless and silly. It’s not really the exact numbers that make me the happiest, it’s how I feel! I have more energy lately, I actually enjoy exercising and don’t feel like I’m torturing myself, and the compliments I’ve been getting are really only adding to the joy.
