I'm Back, and I'm Setting Me Some Goals. . .

I'm back at college. . .

And I'm determined to do better than last semester.

My goal to reach my pre-first semester weight was accomplished, on a day that I had a bad cold too!
My new goal is to either maintain this weight, or lose some more.
The clencher:
I won't know if I did or not until March.

Yup.
That's two months away.

New yay:
I found two pairs of 14's that fit me nicely!
I also have some 12's given to me by my mom, but they're in storage right now.
Maybe by the time it starts to warm up!

God Bless!

I'm back!

Quick Update:

Fall of Freshman Year Gained:

8 lb. 

Lost over Christmas break:

8 lb. 

So! 

I've so far kept away the 'Freshman 15' so far, and I hope to keep it as far away as possible! 

I have one more week until I'm back to classes, my next goal is to be back at my lowest weight that I'd been before I started preparing for college! 

(I'd gained two pounds before I left for college, so you could say that I'd gained 10 lb. . .)

Another Bonus:

I'm 95% of the way into size 14's!

My mom (who I've been swapping close with for the last few years) has lost 35 lb. and is now down to a 12-10. 

That's both good and bad for me. 

:)

She's given me some of her old pants, but they're 14 petite!

Plus my excess weight is carried around my belly, so even though I'm smaller boned (and short), I cannot fit (no matter how much I wish I could) into a size 14 petite.

Another goal to aim at!

Something to Think About:

While I was at college, I was walking every where.

Even though my weight was going upward, my pants were telling another tale.

From what I can decipher, I gained muscle and lost some of the fat around my legs. 

That's what makes sense at least.

Deliciousness:

This last week I tried making Skinny Chocolate with coconut flakes in it!

It was DELICIOUS!

It was like eating Almond Mounds, only healthier!

I also added to the original recipe one large scoop of Protein Powder, which to me didn't seem to change it that much.

I learned that putting two big spoonfuls into the cupcake liners was too big a bite, so next time I'll only do one.

Next time, I want to try making them with almonds for a try for Almond Joy's!

Total Weight Lost so far:

20 lb.

God Bless!
