You may remember that one of my top ten reasons for eating healthier was to make better use of all the clothes in my gigantic closet that I couldn’t fit. Well I’m happy to tell you that so far I’m down ten pounds and I have no idea how many inches, but it’s a lot. It’s definitely one full jeans size. So not only has eating healthier helped me lose weight, but all the running, core work and yoga have also toned me up a bit which also makes clothes fit better.
I still have a way to go in my plan till I reach my goal, but the key is that I have a plan with incremental, achievable goals and I’m implementing it. This all kind of sounds like bragging to me and I don’t want it to…I want you to know what’s possible and what a huge difference even a very small goal like ten pounds can make in how you look and feel. Here’s a post from January for comparison purposes. You may not be able to see the difference in these photos, but I assure you it’s a whole size difference.

As a reward for hitting my first of many health milestones in 2012, I headed to Target for the debut of the designer collaboration with Jason Wu. The were out of all but a size 16 in the one dress I truly loved and I’m very happy to know that a dress that size would look like a giant burlap sack on me these days. I did find this simple white shirt with a stylish silk tie that I snatched up as my prize.
I look forward to hopefully posting more updates on my shrinking size/expanding wardrobe project. If you have questions about where any of the clothes I’m wearing come from, hit me up in the comments and I”ll be happy to share!
