I Need New Clothes!

I forced myself to take a break, so here I am.

Last Wednesday morning solidified my want/need to get a new wardrobe. I wore the SAME polo as my ex-boss. To be fair, this was a shirt given to me by the company, but still… I can't believe I wore it on the same day, nor can I believe we ordered the same color. Grr! (Keep in mind this is a woman I dislike.)

To be honest, I get VERY embarrassed if I wear the same colors/types of clothing as someone else and I'm called out on it. It just means my wardrobe is by no means "unique," "cute," or "trendy." I need to change that.

One thing I'd like to start doing is buying one new shirt, pant, or pair of shoes with every paycheck. My fall wardrobe is pathetic. Honestly, I have no "fall" or "winter" wardrobe. Since I'm in South Texas, I tend to wear things year round and I'm getting to the point where my clothes are beginning to wear out. Terrible! I'm 30 and dress like I'm a poor college student!

Time for change.

As for the weight thing and change – I've been doing the training and working out 3x's a week. I need to increase it to every weekday. Someone told me today that I look like I've lost weight, so that is a good sign… though, the scales indicate I've stayed the same weight. So who knows. Maybe I've lost some fat and replaced it with muscle. Not sure. Better update my measurements soon.

Well, back to work for me.

Testing Posting Access

I want to try to blog more because at the most random times are when I think "I should put that up." So during my breaks at work (or any time I feel like it at work, actually) I am going to attempt to blog. I'm testing my email access....... :)

Decision.

So my weight is something I'm pretty sensitive to and I hate talking about it. But, I've made a decision. I think I'm going to try to lose 10 pounds by Thanksgiving (and I guess put it all back on during the holiday??) hehe :) We'll see if I can do this.

I do have over a month to complete my personal challenge, so I better step up. Ultimately, I'd like to lose more, but I think starting out with a goal of "10" makes it less overwhelming, than say, "I want to lose 50 pounds." Having small victories is probably easier for me to obtain than that one giant victory - though, I would be ecstatic if I reached my goal weight because it's *less* than what my weight in high school was... haha! I've always had weight issues... it REALLY sucks. So all you skinny bitches out there who eat 2 whoppers and fries everyday for lunch and you're still 110 pounds - F you.

My coworkers eat out every day. I'm not sure my wallet or waist can take it as much as theirs does. Next to my ex-boss who is female and probably a good 280 - 290 pounds, I am one of the heftiest in my dept. I hate being one of the fattest people. I know it takes effort to pack a lunch, but its just better for me... otherwise, I'd be totally attempted to overeat.

My mission includes two tracking websites that I want to be a bit more consistent about updating verses updating my practically dead blog:

1. I've started logging my workouts via DailyMile - http://www.dailymile.com/people/HRBabe
2. Additionally, I've started logging my food intake at myfitnesspal.com - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/HRBabe

Well, wish me luck. I'm so tired of being fat. I'm ready to fit into single digit pants!!
