My BMI is finally in the "normal" range!!!!!!
And I went shopping over the weekend and did another closet clean out....I fit into and bought a size small black pencil skirt!!!!!! A SMALL!!!!!!
I weight less than I did in the 5th grade. And In middle school I was wearing adult XXLs. So to now fit into a small....is just unbelievable for me.

I found this at costco and it's been a great alternative for when I'm missing Pasta. A 2oz serving has 24g of Protein.

And a huge NSV....actually having my picture taken on vacation and NOT hating it. Looking back thru old photos I was rarely photographed. Making up for that with my son now!
When I asked him who his favorite Disney princess is.....his answer was mommy. Best weekend away ever.

I have always felt semi uncomftorable in group fitness or yoga classes. I'm not sure if it's all the mirrors and funny unappealing angles or what...
I get there early and hide in the back corner where I feel "safe". Well today during my yoga class the back corners were all full and I had to take a spot front and center.....which is have assumed should have caused me a full on panic attack!
But NO!!!!!! I owned it. And felt comftorable in full on skin tight yoga gear, in front of and surrounded by the typical skinny yoga chicks.
And even more mind blowing.....looking in the mirror standing next to them I actually didn't recognize myself. I looked long and lean and like one of those skinny yoga chicks! It blew my mind. No more hiding in the back!
So glad I never let my insecurities get in my head and continued to pursue yoga in addition to the typical "gym stuff". It's seriously become so relaxing, empowering and super helpful with strength and flexibility. Highly recommend it to any and everyone!

Finally feeling comfortable and confident in heels!
I've had this pair for 3 years and never had the confidence to wear them. I'm 5'10 without them and stand out regardless. I never wanted the added attention from heels. And I'm clearly more outdoorsy typically (lol I need to move the mountain bike and canoe paddles).
Now heels are an everyday thing with work, and it's so amazing to feel confident rocking them!

I've chosen a plastic surgeon and will be moving forward with skin surgery in December! A flor de lis Tummy Tuck and breast implants will be my 30th bday present to myself!
It's been interesting to me people's reactions, opinions and concerns surrounding skin.
I've been told that it's not that bad and skin surgery isn't worth the risks.....have been told by a guy I was starting to get involved with that the skin was incredibly unattractive and the reason I'm single (screw you dude)...I have a family friend contemplating not getting the surgery because of fear of how the skin will look and feel after.
I absolutely get it. I've been told to stop losing weight by physician, yet I still feel fat because I have a good 10+ lbs of skin hanging from my tummy she expects to remove. That's a bowling ball!
I have transitioned my mind and gym towards becoming stronger and faster.....having more endurance and becoming more flexible.
I'm trying to focus on positivity....yes the skin isn't cute.....yes it's uncomfortable and requires compression tops to hold it in place (otherwise the gym is incredibly painful.....but at the end of the day it is absolutely worth it.
I am proud of my skin....it's a daily reminder of how far I have come and how hard I have worked. Do I want it gone, absolutely! Are there days it gets me down, of course. It's as much an emotional journey as anything else. But so incredibly worth it!
I'm excited that the countdown has finally begun for this portion of my journey.
