We enjoyed good food in moderation for Easter, and then celebrated Aidan's 11th birthday on Tuesday. It really was a special day, and he requested lunch at the local Chinese restaurant with just mama. Not even Addie tagged along, which is unusual. I only had room for half my Mongolian beef, so I brought the rest home and enjoyed it for supper. Knowing when I'm full and being able to step away is a huge milestone for me. I've struggled for years with the habit of continuing to eat just because the food tasted amazing.
My undoing was most likely in the pieces of birthday cake I enjoyed almost every day without following up with sufficient exercise. Honestly, when it's a celebratory week: EAT THE CAKE. Life is so short, you guys.
I end this week at the exact same weight as last. But at least I don't have to share +LB(s)!!!
I realized that I haven't updated then and now photos and measurements in over a month, and there's no better time (and reminder!) than when I have a poor scale week.
In measurements:
Bust: -5 inches
Waist: -8 inches
Hips: -7 inches
My apologies for the hideous shirt dress! Back then, it was one of the few comfortable things that fit. I put it on to paint recently (hoping to slop enough paint on it to warrant throwing it away!) and decided to get a then-and-now photo in the same clothes. In it's defense, it had pockets.... 😂 (We also hope to get the new bathroom floor installed this month!)
