before and afters

so i feel like keeping it short today....I've been saying I was going to post some before and after pics...(well hopefully not all the way after) I decided instead of digging up pics of me at my heaviest, i would just do a pic sorta biggest loser style lol....

Before.....



....After


 and I thought I would throw this one if too lol


We'll just have to wait and see if I'm brave enough to post this on facebook....but for now at least a couple people can see em if they want to.....oh and on a funny side note....i actually took the before and after shots in my middle sized jeans and didn't realize it...in fact i wore the middle sized jeans to work all day the next day and was wondering how i had managed to have such HUGE pants on all day....since i had just bought the smaller size one week earlier....yeah I got home and started putting up my laundry and found the size 16s at the bottom of the pile! haha!  I felt so dumb for not figuring it out sooner!  I had worn (and taken pics) in the wrong size....needless to say, I retook the pics with the REAL new jeans and had a huge laugh about it!

Long time overdue!

So it's been forever and a day since I've updated on here...so I thought I would a little.  First off I would like to say how proud of myself I am!  This past Saturday Terry and I went to the mall for like the first time in forever.  I saw in Old Navy that jeans were on sale so I thought I would try some on to see if I could wear any in the store ( I had gotten bigger than they carry in stores and I hate buying jeans online unless I know they fit me right) I hate saying it but I will cause nobody really reads this anyways lol...I was a size 22 and i know last time I tried new clothes on awhile ago I was still a 20 but I always stay in between sizes.  I can lose 30 or 40 lbs and not go down a pant size.  Well i took a 18 and a 16 in the dressing room just to see.  Last time I wore a 16 was shortly after I got married when I started gaining weight back.  the smallest I've ever been was a 10/12 my senior year.  Well i didn't even know for sure if the 18s would fit me but i wanted to see how far away from a 16 i was...well I was brave and tried them on first.....and to my great suprise...they zipped ALL THE WAY...and they buttoned....and they didn't squeeze everything out the top just to make them fit either....I almost had a heart attack!  a 16?!!!  Honestly I'm still in shock...so now I gotta keep busting my butt so I can wear that 16 and keep going on my weight loss journey....Overall I've lost about 36 lbs and apparently 3 dress sizes!  It's giving me sooo much motivation to keep going!

On the book goal...I was doing really bad....it took me over 3 weeks just to finish a book that should've taken me one to three days at the most lol but I've slowly started getting back on track....I have completed 42 books and I'm working on 43 and 44. I should have read 50 books about 2 weeks ago so I'm about 15 books behind schedule! lol....but I'm working on it! 

Me and the hubby went to the Tim McGraw/Lady Antebellum/Love & Theft concert about a month ago at the OKC Zoo Amphitheater.  It was totally amazing!  We both had a blast!  Looking forward to the next concert with the hubby now!  It's actually the first concert we have went to together!  Then we stayed the night in Edmond and almost got flooded in the next morning....like for real!  We had to wait it out awhile in the hotel room and then we had to go straight home because you couldn't drive anywhere because of the flood waters. Parts of the interstate were shut down and when it had reopened and we started going home....we saw all the abandoned cars everywhere...there was a mustang sitting on top of another car both pushed into a concrete wall from the force of the waters.....it was sooo crazy!  But we made it home safe and sound....just a lot earlier than we intended lol.

Well this is the first summer in like 4 years I didn't get  a kiddie pool for my yard...but there was good reasoning behind it....mom and dad finally bought an above ground pool!  So we go visit their's when the weathers nice enough....it's been a little crazy lately with all the rains we keep getting.  It also delayed our fireworks a week.  And then this was the worst show I've ever seen Marlow put on.....totally bad....if you missed it well be glad cause it was a big waste of time! lol

k well i think that's about all the rambling....oh wait that's not all...worst of all my car....the one I've had since I first got my license 9 years ago...died....so very sad!  I was and still am sad about it.....but we ended up getting a new one (or new to us) we bought mom and dad's silver escape from them.  I love it!  Even though I feel guilty since I feel like I'm letting the old car down moving on so well! lol....jk well sorta!  K that's really all the news now...any  ?? and I'll answer!  Until who know when...Ciao!
