I'm not complaining, I swear...but damn it's hot today! Ok so it's not that hot, but wearing warm clothes for the cold office and then going outside in the 85 degree heat- that's hot.
I'm pleased to announce I weighed in at 139.4 on Saturday morning. Hold your applause, it gets better. My skinny jeans slid right on. WOOOO HOOOOOO!! I guess I shouldn't exactly call them my "skinny" jeans...but rather my "skinnier that what I was wearing" jeans. LOL I have a ways to go to actually fit into the "skinny" jeans. It will happen though. ;)
Today was the first day in 3wks I've faced a tough craving. Chocolate. I was staring BOWLS FULL of chocolate in the face this afternoon and boy was I ever tempted. I'm proud to say I didn't have one piece. I missed my afternoon protein shake though, and I could tell when I got home from work. I was wanting to munch on the first thing I could find. I had a Fiber One bar which settled the chocolate craving (Flavor: Oats & Chocolate- yum) and just had eggs. I'll have a protein shake before bed and be good.
I know I said I'm not doing a "Challenge" but I guess in a way, I sort of am. I'm tracking weeks and weighing in each Saturday morning for my total loss for the week....and plan to take pics every 4wks. I've also been lurking around Tracker lately which I haven't done in so long. It's really helping, I think it's always had that effect, for the most part. Most of the "ugliness" from last year seems to be gone, so it's more motivating. There are some seriously impressive transformations on there lately. It's definitely helping me stay focused. Call it a challenge or not, I'm doing much better with everything right now and I'm going to focus on that. Day by day, week by week.

So glad you are getting your groove back.Way to go on passing up the chocolate and it will get easier when you can pull those size 4's right up.
To answer your question, I am only 5'3" and 123 is not all that small for such a short person but I am getting there.
I too lurk around tracker occasionally.

Just stopping by to say Hi and see how you are doing- fabulous, of course! Resisting chocolate isn't something I can do . . .

Hey, an update, ha ha! Not that this is any news to me since I talk to you about 10 times a day. But I thought I'd let you know I was here anyways.
