Week 8 weigh-in has been cancelled. Due to my binge I know I am up. I know I gained some fat, but I won't know how much until I can lose the water weight.

I scrapped going to the gym today - my legs are way sore and even my shoulders are sore (from the pumping motion of my arms when running). No way could I do a decent workout. So I did my bimonthly mail run into the City, then walked the 1.5 miles to work from the BART station. That I can do at least.

I stopped at WalMart on the way. I swore I saw a shrug there and I wanted to try it on. No luck. Either they don't have it or I saw it at another store. :-p I settled for buying a sporty little cute brown cotton outfit (top and skirt). I was able to get size small! I know WalMart has big sizes. At Old Navy I take an 8; at WalMart I'm a 6. So it shouldn't surprise me that if I take a medium everywhere else, I'd take a small at WalMart. The small top was a little tight (it's a zip down sweatshirt, and I will have to wear it alone), but there was no size medium. I'm always a size bigger on top due to my huge chest. I'll try to get a picture of me wearing it at some point.

I bought a size small/medium belt. I can't believe I can wear something so small! I can go as far as the second hole. Do I rock or what?

I also bought a blanket for my bed because I only have one so if it gets dirty I don't have another to sleep under until the first one is washed. And it was less than $5! I think it will fit, but won't know until I put it on the bed.

Also got Chloraseptic Defense Daily Health Strips. Going to Seattle for Thankgiving is just asking to get sick. So I'll take these and hope for the best. They contain Vitamin C and Zinc.

Having trouble cutting back on calories at all today. I'm so hungry. I hate this stupid medication that makes me hungry all the time. And because I have to cut the L-Carnitine out of my diet for the next week, I can't have my diet mints because they contain it. :-p

Walked over 22,000 steps yesterday - 10.2 miles! Go me!
