doing some pre-baby housecleaning/organizing and found a folder with pictures from two different cruises, the first in december of 2006 and the second in october of 2010. i’d guess i’m around 210 in the first, around 170-175 in the second.
not only do i look SO much better now (even disregarding the hideous stripe-y highlights, god), but i look so much happier and more comfortable in the more recent pic! it made me happy, so i thought i’d share. :D
happy saturday, tumblr!
just ‘cause i liked it: my outfit from last night! i went to ryan star’s album release show (buy his album! he’s talented and wonderful and some of the songs are really great workout music/inspiration) and saw lots of people i hadn’t seen since before i lost weight, and they fussed over me and i felt cute. :)
dinner at le cirque! it would only let me write really short captions, so a quick expansion:
01. my dress! i meant to take a cute picture with, like, shoes and, y’know, MY HEAD, but i didn’t have time. :(
02. well, that caption fit. :D it was delicious! i also had a glass of rosé mostly because it was called whispering angel and i thought that was funny.
03. dessert, which was very dainty so i didn’t feel bad: chocolate fondant with carmelized bananas and salted caramel ice cream. yummy, of course.
not pictured: my entree, because i forgot to take a photo. i had a salmon fillet with tomato and fennel chutney, in a tomato–horseradish broth. it was very nice, but it just looked like a normal piece of salmon, so the lack of photo is no real loss.
i had a very nice time with my girls (and met a new girl who lives in my ‘hood!), and i don’t even feel like my dinner was especially sinful. win-win!
just a little comparison. you guys see it, right? the difference?
(in case anyone gets confused, i didn’t start losing weight until april. that was just the best picture i had on hand to compare. and by “on hand” i mean “on facebook” of course.)
GPOYW: it’s just a cellphone pic, and i’m not even looking, and it might only be the angle, but this is the first picture taken of me in FOREVER where i didn’t look at it and want to cry about how fat i look. (that’s me in the black and pink and white top, if it isn’t obvious.)
dorky picture of me: because i love this shirt and it fits me way better than it did the last time i wore it (a few months ago).
random happy thing: last night when my bf got home from work he looked at me and said “did you lose another five pounds?” (me: “since yesterday? uh, no.”)
question: i feel like so many of the other fitblrs i follow always have people leaving them messages or asking them questions, but i hardly get that at all. is it because i don’t talk about myself, like, personally all that much? anyway, this isn’t me begging for questions/comments, i promise! i just wanted to let people know that i don’t bite (vampire shirt up there^^ aside) and you’re always welcome to contact me! :)
on a related note: i updated my introduction page kind of recently, if you’re interested!
i bought two new dresses yesterday at old navy! i’ve been needing some stuff to wear for summer, and since i am generally anti-shorts i figure dresses are the way to go. cute, right? i feel cute. the blue and white one will look better in 5 or 10 pounds but i think it’s passable. i wanted to buy it in black and white also, but they didn’t have my size. :(
i also got two pairs of flip-flops, because at 2/$5 how can you NOT?!
decided i needed to try on this dress today at target, because it was cute and only $20. and to my glee, the XL i grabbed initially was too big! the large, however, looked rather adorbs, so of course i bought it. XD
