Current Weight: 204.2 - Total Lost: 45.8 lbs.

Gah!  I'm so close to the 100s and have been hovering between 204.2 and 205 for over a week now.  I know why though.  I have been eating stuff I used to eat -- boneless honey bbq chicken wings with ranch dressing, a few french fries one day, even drinking white chocolate mochas from starbucks.

So I really need to take a step backwards and refocus on my main goals each day: 80-100g of protein and 64+ oz of fluids.

In the mean time, my go-to jeans and work pants are starting to get a teeny bit baggy.  My new favorite jeans are a pair of size 15 sweetheart Old Navy boot cut in a dark wash.  They make me feel so good, but after most of the day has passed, they stretch a bit and then I'm pulling them up after I get up (I need to wear a belt from now on).

This is a good problem to have, I know, but it kind of stinks to be in between sizes because 12s will certainly be too tight on me and some 14s will soon be just a bit too baggy to look right.

Luckily, I do have a pair of size 12 jeans and a couple of 14s that still don't fit me yet.  I also put in a big order to www.thredup.com -- an online thrift store -- and have 9 new tops (mainly for work) coming.  I can't wait to get that box!  I have an awesome BCBGMAXAZRIA cardigan -- retail was $198 but I paid just under $40:

I also got another cardigan -- from Dress Barn I think, for $4.99 on ThredUp.  I LOVE the detail at the shoulders and it is a great neutral color.  LOVE LOVE LOVE

One of the other pieces I got was from a company I had never heard of - C & C California, known for their casual clothing -- I absolutely LOVE the color and style of this top and picture wearing it with some black leggings.  Retail $88, paid $20.49:

And here's a Banana Republic cardigan that retails for $60 I got for $15.99.  It has ribbing which is so much more interesting than plain!

So, I did some shopping.  Packing for Ireland should be pretty easy.  Packing for trips -- even short weekend ones to Virginia were so depressing.  I usually had just one pair of jeans that I wore over and over and I hated all of my clothes.  Now I have so many things to pick from that are cute and FIT great and I feel so much better in my skin now -- that sure makes a huge difference!
