Wow. I have lost inches and I didn't even realize it! I took a base set of measurements on April 8 of this year, and yesterday (May 11) I took a new set. I have to say, I didn't think I had lost any kind of numbers but I have!
A full inch off my chest (39 down to 38 inches)
Two inches off my ribcage (35 down to 33 inches)
3/4 inch off my waist (31.75 down to 31 inches)
A full inch off my upper hips (41 down to 40 inches)
One and a half inches off my lower hips/butt (46 down to 44.5 inches)
That's over 6 inches down! I must say, I had noticed my waist was smaller, but my butt still feels huge to me! Later I shall go for a walk, or do some On-Demand exercise videos.
I'm seeing results! It's so exciting!

Happy Mother's Day to me!
My son is nearly 8 months old, and I feel like the proudest new mom ever. He learned to scoot-crawl a couple weeks ago, he can go from belly to sitting all by himself, he pulls himself up on furniture and, on a good day, he can stand by himself for a few seconds! He also cut his third tooth a couple days ago, and the fourth is poking through. He weighs 26 pounds even, and is 28 inches tall.
In regards to my weight loss journey, I kinda fell off the Alli bandwagon. But I'm not going to throw the bottle out! I'll use it someday, it's just hard to do right now because, since I'm not incharge of grocery shopping for the household, the food choices I have aren't able to sustain the diet.
I'm eating well, though. Matt and I cut out Taco Bell completely. I've had it ONCE in the past three weeks! Go me!
By the way, my total weight loss for April was THREE POUNDS! I had set a goal of twice that much, but I'll take what I get, because, to be honest, I had expected to have gained some. Why? Well, I didn't stick with Alli, even though I really want to, I didn't exercise as much as I wanted to. I don't know. Apparently I'm doing something right. My waist seems much smaller, and I'm definitely losing my belly pooch. I did two performances last month without wearing a belly cover! Yay me!
My body confidence is definitely way up there. I even agreed to do a little modeling in a few weeks! I did this mainly because it will be a huge motivator to lose a little more each week. Here's my plan: take the Alli pill with all meals that I can. Avoid sweets when I'm hungry. Drink LOTS of water. Take long walks. Don't over-stuff myself at meals.
And, Matt agreed to pay for my membership to LA Fitness, so I can go to the gym! I've been there on a guest pass a couple times, and I really enjoy working out there. I just need to find the time, and a babysitter! But we'll work that out when the time comes.
Updates later!
