I feel like I can justify it as an extra layer for warmth this winter! Come summer I'll just be blobby and deal with it.Korinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580286551375780490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-81770708343537640842015-02-22T08:21:59.276-06:002015-02-22T08:21:59.276-06:00Diet Coke was my soda of choice (when Vernors was ...Diet Coke was my soda of choice (when Vernors was unavailable), but I've just read too many bad things about soda in general at this point to feel comfortable drinking it. But I never drank enough of it that it was hard to give up.

I'm hoping the diet change has been enough to change that, but we'll see. If I still have the same problem at this point then it has nothing to do with diet. I really don't want to have to take pills.Korinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580286551375780490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-52268120143968012572015-02-20T18:10:34.515-06:002015-02-20T18:10:34.515-06:00I think you are doing awesome!!!

We are in a very similar spot- I lost about 30# since last May- and I completely identify with the cold hard ass thing. :) Seriously, have benches always been this uncomfortable?! <br /><br />Also, I think the muffin top thing is hopeless. I weight 135# and am a size 6 at 5'7" and FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, I still have a muffin top. I guess this is why women own Spanx. I blame it on the whole "having children" thing and have declared it unfixable. It admittedly got a little better with a ridiculous committment to sit-ups and planks, but I can't seem to find the motivation to maintain it, and its not like the muffin top went completely away, soooo.... Instead, I've just really, really embraced the whole "leggings" trend. Those suckers come up past my belly button and hold it all in. Genius. <br /><br />Anyway, great job. :) <br />-LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06351940065850639770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-28244117450146097252015-02-20T10:31:39.805-06:002015-02-20T10:31:39.805-06:00Great work on sticking with your goals and congrat...Great work on sticking with your goals and congrats!

We were sharing a mirror and you stopped at one point and said I looked beautiful and that's always stayed with me. That's gotten me through some bad mirror moments.

I seldom buy candy but our house is filled with the stuff. It's at the center of every holiday anymore, so my kids have plastic tubs with candy from Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's, Easter.... even 4th of July! When did that become a candy holiday?! Plus parties, violin lessons, trips to the barber, nice neighbors. The candy supply line never ends. I've just kind of trained myself to not see it. My kids each got a bakery treat today and I selected a nice looking apple, which makes me both proud and depressed at the same time.<br /><br />I still have Peru in my head. What about New Zealand? Or Tasmania? Do people go to Tasmania? Or Transylvania! Hm. Luckily we still have a few years to talk.Korinthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580286551375780490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654887465201994138.post-86003840086940298302015-02-19T21:42:04.445-06:002015-02-19T21:42:04.445-06:00Bathing suits are weird that way. My bathing suit ...Bathing suits are weird that way. My bathing suit size is four sizes larger than my regular size. <br />You've worked so hard, and you look wonderful! Even if appearance isn't your primary motivator, you still look wonderful. Of course, I always thought you were beautiful. And I'm glad you feel good, even if you are a cold hard-ass now :).<br />Avoiding sugar is so hard. I've been trying, but it's always someone's birthday when you work in an elementary school.<br />I'm so proud of you for sticking with your program! You'll be running circles around me when we go to Peru. Or is it Thailand now? Gabriellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14070699522831321612noreply@blogger.com
