It is Mamavation Monday time again!
What did I do last week? I got in three bike rides last week. Not my planned five but I will take the three.
My challenge this week: I am going to plan more bike riding this week and see if I can start the Body Gospel back up. The later may happen mid-week when my classes are done.
Results so far: So that pound I gain a couple of weeks ago is gone! Woohoo! I also went through my closet last night and pulled out a pile of clothes to go to the consignment shop this week because they are all TOO BIG!
So what is next for me? To keep active … active is good for me. When I am not active, I maintain which will be good at some point but not yet. I did buy myself a couple of suits for a big work conference I have to attend in November … a size down. They were a super 50 cent bargain at a thrift shop that was moving! A name brand, like new suits at price is what fits in my budget and not I need them to fit me come November. So that is my BIG challenge. For me, this is more than the weight loss I report each week because overall I am only down four pounds but I am down 1-2 clothing sizes (depending on what it is I am wearing). So I know progress is possible and for me clothes fitting is a good visual and goal!
Keep leaving me comments and telling me to move my butt. I have that bridesmaid dress to fit in too!
OH great job last week beth!
I can't wait to be able to get rid of clothes because they are too big! Most of my stuff, I can still wear! I hate that, but it will change soon! 🙂
You're doing great, and how cool is your thrift store fine!!
ROOOOOOOOCK ON!
Good goals! You exercised period. And that is great!!!
And WOO HOO on the clothes, that is the best feeling!!
Have a great week!!
I think it's very wise of you to use something other than the numbers on the scale to base your success. Those numbers can sometimes be tricky on our self-esteem. 🙂 You are doing fabulous! And I'm glad you found a great deal on the suits – hopefully they won't be too big come November 😉
I miss thrift stores that only charge 50 cents for items… The majority-church-run-thrift stores here think that used jeans are worth $10!! Please! I can get new at walmart for $18 sooooo I don think so! When my parents divorced we had a great thrift store that my mom used to go from zero business clothes (ret-mil) to a full wardrobe for less than $20!
I have a pair of A&F size 12s that I got for $1 at goodwill that are my next 'goal' skinny pants… after that it's my size 11 Lucky Brand Jeans (also $1!!!)…
Good luck slimmin down this week!

I LOVED the feeling of getting rid of fat clothes. It was so empowering. You go girl! XxOO
Congrats on dropping the "found" pound LOL and good for you getting your "too big" clothes out of your closet and out of your life!
yeah fat clothes are gone! I did that and said these are not coming back in and you know what they havn't!
I love hearing of your success! Keep on moving and grooving. You can do it!
I can't wait to purge my closet as well! And hey, 3 out of 5 workouts isn't bad at all. I really like that you are aware that it's not always about losing lbs. Feeling great and shrinking sizes is great, too! Congratulations and I look forward to hearing of your successes next week!
Yahoo! Keep moving that booty. Glad you had to heave some of your bigger clothes. I can't wait to do that! You are inspiring.
