One Month In

Hey y'all. I am one month in using the ReFirm. I have lost 7lbs. I have lost inches too. 1.5" from my hips, 2" from my waist, 2" from each of my thighs, .5" from each bicep, and .5" from my bust!
I got sick last week when I tried the Jillian Michaels bloat flush stuff off Pinterest. I got 1.5 days in and was messed up all week. Will never do that again! So my weight loss isn't great but 7lbs in a month for me is AWESOME!!! I am below 200. So mini goal met! I have lost 10lbs since starting this weight loss journey in Jan. So I got my 1st bead from Hallmark. Thinking I should have gone more expensive with beads but I also think I can spend the extra savings on new clothes since I will need some more. My next mini goal will be 193! which is 5lbs away.
I went to Kohl's on Sat and tried on a size 12 Bermuda shorts and they buttoned! Awesome right! I also tried on some other shorts at Old Navy. Not knocking Old Navy but I won't shop there until I am much smaller. Their size 14 didn't fit and the 14s i bought from Walmart at getting too loose. :P at them! I got a different brand of pants at JCP to turn into capris or shorts for $4 but I rethought that idea when I put them on and OMGosh!! <3 them! So wish I would have gotten then in a 10 for this winter coming up. :) Maybe I can alter them to fit... We will see.  I got rid of my FAT girl clothes!!! Well actually they are sitting in a garbage bag waiting to be taken to the Good Will.
Oh I am the proud owner of a gym membership!!! I got Hubby one too and the girls can do their KID FIT classes too! Awesome! I went today and it was nice to get some cardio in on top of the strength training. I bought another outfit to workout in. The pants are a 12/14 Wahoo!!! I went from XXL (20) to L (12/14) in 3 months! I did get a large shirt though so I have room to move in.  Its the first day of Spring but here in NWA it is a bit chilly (45*) with a chance of snow this weekend! I am ready for warmer weather.
I also have been slathering on some tanning lotion. My little pasty white calves are darkening up pretty nice. I am using the Hemp lotion I bought at Walmart. Love the smell and no streaks that I can see.  I do have the tanning with my membership but I am not using it for the cancer issues that come with that. To each their own when it comes to fake bakin'! :)
I get to meet the personal trainer tomorrow and maybe sign up for a month or so of training so that I can get an idea of how to correctly get my fitness on! I am also revamping my rewards for weight lost! I am thinking I want to get some of those cute shirts with the fitness related saying on them or at least make my own!
My body is changing and I like that. I have 2 weeks or so til my BIG 30  birthday and I am hoping for another 10lbs lost! which would put me close to my goal of 25lbs lost by then.
