Well, at least I’m TRYING to bring sexy back. Though I can never be as sexy as Justin. Please tell me you saw him on Jimmy Fallon the other night…
Drool. Anywhoooo.
I wish I could brag about being BFFs with JT, but instead I’ll brag about being me! Here are this week’s PMBs:
My physical brag of the week is where I am going to talk about bringing sexy back. At my weigh in yesterday, I weighed EXACTLY the same as last week. But you know what, I tried on a pair of work pants that haven’t fit in a year and they fit! And then I wore them to school because I was so excited! The scale may not be moving right now, but I am noticing a difference in my body. And I am starting to feel better in my ankles and shins though my calves are still REALLY tight!
Is it wrong that I have a goal picture to keep me on track? This is me a few years ago. At this time, I was in the best shape I’ve been in and I was also faster and stronger than I am now. That’s my goal, though it’s about 20 pounds from where I am right now. Maybe I’ll just aim for ten and see how it goes 
My mental brag is pretty much yesterday in its entirety. Although I had a taste of my future position on Monday and Tuesday, I don’t officially start my long term assignment until this coming Monday, the 18th. This means that yesterday, today, and tomorrow are still day to day sub jobs. Yesterday, I signed up for a half day, but after arriving as school, I was asked to stay until dismissal. I was more than happy to help. This is the school I will be in for a while and I love being there. The only problem was that I didn’t have any lunch or any money. I had a yogurt. And I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to make it! Stuff like that worries me. I am so much plan oriented that when things in my routine are thrown off, the world is off rotation and I’m out of whack. Thankfully, my coworkers are amazing. By the time lunch time rolled around, I had added a Starbucks raspberry scone and a chocolate chip cookie to my yogurt. Ok, I’ll admit, not the healthiest lunch. But definitely better than waiting until 3 to eat. People are awesome, and I am so thankful for the position I have been given at this school. Mental brag for sure!
Making dah monies.
My life brag is that my mom, sister, and Rex are coming tomorrow! My mom has never seen my apartment or the surrounding area, so I am excited to show her around! Geno misses his cousin Rexy, too!
Thanks to Hollie for the weekly sharing of brags! I’m going to add another brag about how we had a sleepover and bonded over Catfish and biscotti. Just throwing that out there. She’s awesome.
Anything exciting and brag-worthy in your life? I want to hear all about it!
That is so awesome that the pants fit! I don’t have a picture, but I do have a pair of jeans that I love that lets just say that I couldn’t get into anymore. They fit now, but I am also using them to judge if I am losing anymore weight. Probably not the healthiest thing to do mentally, but it helps me stay on track.

Look at you sexy mama!!! You should whip out a measuring tape! I was at a 3 – 4 week plateau and getting frustrated so I took out the tape measurer and took down every measurement you can think of and I am going to do that every month just so I can see what is really happening with the bod.

Woooo awesome brags this week. Hurray for pants that fit and attainable goals. You are so adorable in that picture and Spring/Summer is just the time to knock off a few lingering pounds. It’s great that you had people who are willing to help you at work because that makes such a difference!

Nice work! You should be proud

Every month I seem to be getting stronger. And when the guys and girls at the gym think I am still in my 20′s, though being 39 lol, it makes me feel proud to know that taking care of myself shows! They still havent figured out my age

Good for you! So many awesome things to brag about!! I like the routine too so I see why you’re excited about getting into full time teaching (aside from da money).

Great brags for the week. Have fun with your family! My family is visiting me next week and I am so excited to see them.

You are losing weight but gaining muscle! You’re not just “dieting” but you’re also in training, so if the scale doesn’t move… That doesn’t mean everything is staying the same. You’ll get there!
I’m glad you like your co-workers. It is definitely one of the biggest things about teaching: Support. I noticed a HUGE difference between my first and second placements!

WAHHH. I want to watch more catfish and bond again.
Anyways, I am so happy for you and the long term sub position (I know that probably is far less stress to deal with…I’m secretly a bit jealous…just saying). Also I’m glad you were able to fit into those pants, that is seriously awesome and if that isn’t motivation-I don’t know what is! (besides really…can we have another sleep over?). I plan to move back to VA this summer (I think…maybe) so that will happen hopefully.

Yahoo for all of these brags! Not having a lunch would have mentally thrown me off too!! How awesome that you have some amazing co-workers! Hope your weekend is GREAT
Allie recently posted…Things that make me happy
Ohh my gosh, old clothes that fit again is like finding gold!! Congratulations!! Just goes to show the scale can be a shitty source!! That cat picture with the money had me dying!
Congrats on all three!
Randomly fitting into certain pants in the morning gives me a boost all day. Is that sad?!

I think it’s great to have a picture to work toward. I mean, it’s of you so it’s obviously attainable (same body type, instead of trying to look like someone from a magazine that has a different body type and has been air brushed) and you look healthy in the picture so it’s not like you’re shooting for a look that makes you look sick. I hope this makes sense. It just makes me sad when people use pictures of other women as things to “aspire” to when in reality they would look so much better as THEMSELVES. Anyway, off my soapbox now, haha! You are beautiful, friend. Know that.

You can definitely obtain your goal! And congratulations on the pants fitting, that is exciting!
I’ve noticed that I am probably in the best shape of my life right now, but I am built differently than when I was just a competitive swimmer. My legs have always been strong but now they are REALLY strong. I had the wide shoulders when I was a swimmer, and not so much now, I kind of want them back though, ha.
