Seven is my lucky number...

Wow... Okay, I promise to be a better blogger in the very near future! I am still adjusting to my new job as a sixth grade English teacher. I'm working on lesson plans and other things for class nearly every afternoon until I absolutely have to leave to go get Vaught; I've only been able to go to the gym twice in the past week! Even still...

I am SEVEN pounds down in the past two weeks!! (Cue happy dancing)!

In addition to that, I can wear a pair of Seven jeans. The real Seven jeans... The ones that have never in my life fit me before. The ones that would have caused me to break out in a hot sweat if I'd even attempted to pull them on two months ago. Yep. I found these babies for $25 at TJMaxx yesterday!

This style originally goes for anywhere between $125-$200, but I found them at a great price. I couldn't believe it! In addition to the price, they're a size 14, a size I haven't truly been a long time. Like, a really long time. I was in between a 14 and 16 for a while, but in the past few weeks I've noticed that anything size 16 looks and feels way big on me--like noticeably too big. I now sit between a size 12 and 14. These Seven jeans are great, but a few more pounds and there will definitely be extra room! It excites and motivates me to know that I'm not far off from having to size down again!

I was so excited when I stepped on the scale Monday morning to see a number I honestly don't know when I last saw. I am ten pounds from the lowest I can remember being my freshman year of college (after Eric broke up with me and I didn't eat for two months). I wasn't really working out then, just doing a bit of aimless cardio here and there, so I'm excited to see the difference of the me now versus my body back then. I'm eating well, but not eating nearly as much; some days I probably log around 1,000 calories. Yes, I know that's too little, but I stay so busy during the day... You wouldn't believe it!

I'm going to work on packing some higher calorie snacks in my lunch bag next week!

Sorry this update is a little short, but I am blogging as I wait on my tests to be printed out... I've worked on some stuff for the blog this week (SORRY to my fabulous companies who have asked me to do sponsored posts--I promise they're coming), so I've got to spend a good bit of time this weekend getting that all together!

Hope you all have an amazing Friday!!
