Fitness Milestone!
This morning I was getting ready, and decided to measure myself. I need to do it officially at the end of the week, but I was curious as I haven't measured in a few weeks. I lot another inch off of my waist, and little bits everywhere else. I felt pretty good, and decided to do something I do from time to time: try on the Goal Outfit
I have it hanging on my closet so I can see it every day. It is a BCBG denim mini and a faux-leather jacket , fitted with a mandarin collar. I have never tried them on together; in reality, I have never even tried on the skirt, as it is in european sizes and is pretty small, so I didn't want to get too discouraged if I couldn't get it up past my knees! It was one of those purchases, on super clearance, where I thought, What do I have to lose? This may NEVER fit me, but I can blow 20 bucks on it to give me something to work towards, anyway!
BUT IT ALL FIT!!!! I couldn't believe it. The skirt was ridiculously tight, leaving me no room to walk and with all my lovely remaining mid-section billowing over the top. But I was able to button it. And the jacket was really tight, but I was able to zip it up! All in all, it was too tight and looked so, but they were on, together. And that was huge.
I put on my red heels and went to show my mom,who immediately started screaming with excitement. She kept saying how awesome I looked (which was an overstatement, considering the skirt was pushing out my remaining fat on both ends!), but it felt really really good nonetheless.
So I am stating this today so all you readers can remember when the picture is posted: I want to take an after photo in this outfit, giving it the hot justice it deserves! And after today, putting it on with 30 pounds still to go, that definitely seems like a possibility!
