Jeans

Haven't tried my size 10s on yet. I'm sure I can squeeze into them, but my 12s fit perfect - not too tight when I sit and not too loose when I stand.

Gosh - all my adult life I have been a 14 (before I started gaining weight from the meds). To be a perfect 12...wow! I've never been this small.

Shopping

I finally decided that maybe I'm having trouble losing because I have no motivation. My shirts fit again, and the smallest jeans I have (size 12s) fit perfectly. So I had to run into San Francisco today and I had a $400 check in hand from my Dad. I decided to do some shopping. First I bought a mini iPod. I looked at all the options the mini just had more nice features (like a screen) that the new iPod Shuffle doesn't have. (The Shuffle is the newest and smallest [and cheapest] iPod on the market.) Anyway, so I have a new pink iPod for the gym, and also bought the armband.

Then I passed Old Navy and decided to drop in for a pair of size 10 jeans to encourage me to lose. Old Navy had an advertisment for all "plus" sized (16-24). I guess they are trying to reach out more to that crowd.

I also bought a Old Navy bag with a dog on it for my sister, and some socks for myself.

Major spending day, and insane. I had so much to do at the bank, beyond depositing Dad's check. Man, I was productive today!

Ok, I think I've lost the water weight. I don't feel any lighter, but I can get into my size 12s again. I hope to weigh myself tomorrow, but I won't be able to get an accurate weight until I can go to the gym in my workout clothes on Tuesday. Tomorrow I'm hoping to sign up, but I'll be in jeans and a long-sleeved shirt.

Nearing a size 12!

This morning I pulled out the size 12 jeans in my closet and tried them on again and they almost fit. Granted, these are the "relaxed" ones and are therefore looser than the "stretch" jeans. Last time I tried them on I had to suck my tummy in to get them buttoned. This time I hardly had to suck my tummy in at all. They are still tight, but I am getting there. Maybe I'll be able to wear these by the end of the year, and then I can work on getting into the stretch size 12s.
