Another NSV Linkup!

Yes, it's that time again!!  

Love reading KatieJ's blog and joining her and Lex for the weekly NSV!!

I'm feeling great and am really in the groove with my new changes.  I don't freak out about going out to eat or feeling like I can't manage myself unless I am sequestered in my house (ok, I do but not out of control)!

I have two things that come to mind this week:

1)I actually went shopping!  For me, that sounds just ridic but I cannot tell you the last time I went shopping for clothes.  I have been wearing my fat clothes over and over and over.  When you are hating how you look and feeling like jabba the hut, shopping sucks ass.  No.fun.whatsoever.  I bought several tops that I knew I could still wear when I get 20+ lbs smaller and a maxi dress at the Gap that was freaking on sale!!  $23!  Have no idea why it is $55 on sale online but whatev...this dress is like wearing your pj's but great when working at home or slepping on the weekend!





2)I have an amazing sense of self control right now...I have had a few glasses of wine but I don't feel like I want to have another...ok, and maybe another.  I realize this makes me sound like a total alcoholic BUT I have routinely been having 2-3 glasses of wine and not even thinking about it.  Same goes with food.  I went out for dinner with my parents and had my cup of soup and side salad and felt fine.  UNTIL, they ordered QUESO AND CHIPS!  Are you shitting me right now?  I almost throat punched my husband.  But, I did not eat a single chip.  Queso is my kyptonite.  Just sayin.

Have a great week!

  1. I think beer is my biggest pitfall in the battle of getting fit and healthy. I can't help it. I like to go out once a week with my friends and enjoy some brews. Your victories are great this week! Way to go!
    Have a great day,

    1. Funny - I used to LOVE beer and now I just got into a major wine habit. Last time I had a beer I HATED IT! My scale would reflect such better numbers if I ended up hating wine! :)

  2. Awesome NSV! I HATE that feeling of not being in control! I still struggle with going out to eat with people. I get major anxiety, especially if the place doesn't have any nutritional info. Not having any queso is amazing. I'm not sure I could have resisted! lol looking forward to following you!

    1. It was NOT easy...although, it just smelled so greasy after a bit it started grossing me out. I entertained myself adding up how many calories everyone at the table was eating and that pretty much sealed it!!

      Thanks for the comment!!

    1. Thanks! Not nearly as much fun but I don't miss that stuffed, bloated feeling after going out to eat!

      Thanks for stopping by!

  5. I am physically incapable of going for Mexican and not having chips and salsa. I always think that's bad enough as it without someone at the table ordering queso. Love, love, love queso. Don't need it staring me in the face calling my name!

    1. It was HARD! My husband has apologized about 50 times...said "No WAY could I have done that)! A couple months ago - I couldn't have either but I just decided whatever it is...is just doesnt taste good enough to blow everything I have worked so hard for....even though I have a LONG way to go!!

      Thanks for stopping by!
