Minus point eight. Yep, .8 -- or 8/10 of a pound. Not really what I was expecting or hoping for, but a minus is a minus!!! I'm glad, but I'm getting tired and frustrated with these "itty-bitty" results the past few weeks. I mean, I'm tracking, I'm exercising, I'm staying pretty focused, etc. So the pounds need to just fall off!!! (Yeah, I wish it worked that way, but it doesn't.)
HOWEVER...
I am wearing smaller sizes now! (YEAH!!!) In fact, a pair of black dress capris that I bought on a recent shopping adventure (6 weeks ago today to be exact) are now too big. I dug around in the bags of clothes I've had stored in the basement and found a couple of pair of khaki pants and tried them on so I'd at least have something besides the one pair of brown slacks to wear to work. They fit! Size 14. :)
And I even found some old t-shirts that had been stored -- some I've never even worn! -- and put one on the other night to go for a walk with Chloe. Yeah, it fit! Size L. :)
So, even though I may whine and complain about those "itty-bitty" weight losses, they ARE adding up. To date I've lost 38.2 pounds. Gone for good! Never to return! I've gone from wearing a size 20/22 pants and 2X/3X tops this time last year, to a 14/16 pant and L/XL top this year. And hopefully this time next year I will be at or near my goal weight...and I can't even imagine what size clothing I'll be reporting to you then!
I'm still gearing up and training for the Mother's Day 5K in Moberly. I hope I'm able to actually jog the whole thing, but if I do have to stop and walk that's okay -- I promise to not walk for long!
I have all these mini-goals within reach. I'm determined to grab 'em! (Then make new ones, of course.)
