don't be dull, be fannish

I managed to drop 48 pounds, get my BMI down to 29.07 and I'm now officially 3 sizes down! YUSS! This makes me so happy! When I put on my gray leggings and a long-sleeved shirt the color of sky after sunset, I looked DAMN good! \o/

I've now lost 41 pounds! Huzzah! And to celebrate, I bought some new clothes...



The leggings I bought specifically to wear with one dress which I got yesterday in Tesco. Wonderful, amazing jersey dress, black and petroleum blue, so light and so very, very soft. And for 6 dollars only since they had a sale. Amazing. I almost cooed when I touched the fabric, it's so soft... *happy sigh*

As of this morning, I've officially dropped 30 pounds since April 1! Huzzah! My weight losing process slowed down drastically, that's true, and I've been sick like a dog for a week which led to me gaining back whole 5 pounds, that was really frustrating, but I'm very, VERY happy that I managed to hit the 30 pound threshold! I'm awesome! \o/

I won't talk about pounds this time around, but about my hips - TMI, I know, LOL! I'm now 10cm down! One more centimeter and I'll be 2 sizes down! Jesus Christ on a tortilla! When I took my measurements - I decided to buy two very cute sweaters - I literally goggled and had to do it twice AND check my measuring tape, just to be sure. Like... WHAT?! In 5 months, I lost 10 frickin' centimeters around my hips! I now once again fit into pants I haven't been able to wear for years!

Unfortunately, I also hurt my back, so now I feel this pulling, stabbing pain in my right side, going from back to front, whenever I bend down. Ouchie! I have my regular 2 year check-up next month. If it doesn't go away, I'll have to seek treatment.

Oh, these are the two sweaters I ordered:



I have a huge weakness for the colors grey, blue and its shades and brown. When I saw these... Man, Witt International has the most beautiful things but these two, I kept coming back to them!

According to my scale, as of this morning, I officially dropped 15 pounds since March 31! And I also finally broke the seemingly unbreakable threshold of... well, let's just say a certain weight threshold that I couldn't seem to break for 2 straight weeks. I always balanced right on the edge, getting x.00 but I could never get below that! It was so frustrating! I'm so happy! I haven't seen this number on my scale in... 5 years now? \o/

At the end of March, I decided I needed to lose some weight, for health reasons. So, I cut my portions, started drinking a lot of green tea and bought a stepper. Now, I eat everything I ate before, even chocolate, just a smaller portion, and I exercise 5 minutes a day - and I drink like a 1.5 liter of green tea a day... And in less than 2 months, I dropped 7 pounds.

Isn't that kind of weird? I mean, just today, I ate 2 slices of corn bread with jam for breakfast, half an orange for a snack, potatoes with meat and chili gravy for lunch, a small piece of cake and a handful of strawberries for an afternoon snack and two small slices of corn bread with salami for dinner. I drank over 2 liters of tea. And exercised for exactly 5.30 minutes on my stepper... and between last night's weighing and tonight's, I lost a pound. I mean, I read that green tea works miracles for weight loss when exercising and eating properly but... wow. This is really weird.
