Momma Mud is at it again with yet a new life lesson.
I spent 12 weeks in the 180's but my clothing sizes is where I saw the real results. On the complete other hand, I spent like 12 days in the 170's. Of course that means that for the most part, I stayed the same size. Go figure. Scale/Measuring Tape... can't we all just get along? Currently in the upper (details have been changed to protect the innocent) 160's, I had-just had-to get some new clothes. Sooner or later it was all going to catch up again, right?
Last Thursday, I treated myself to a bit of an Old Navy shopping spree so that I had clothes that fit. At a now confirmed size 10, no wonder my 14's were feeling a bit hobo-ish. I got 5 workout shirts, 3 pair of workout pants and a pair if jeans. Last night, I took 2 (shirt/pants) back for a smaller size. Within a week, I had dropped a full clothing size with that particular style. All I can say is that I am happy that I kept the tags on.
Leave the tags on! We are not working this hellious program to maintain or gain, so why just snip the tags so fast? I'm thinking it might just become a new challenge.
I don't care how good it feels to tell your trainer or gym buddy that you lost weight. It feels 12x better to tell the lady at the register that checked you out the week before that you need a smaller size. She probably had no clue who I was, but in the Lifetime Movie of my life, she is proud and breakdancing for me.
