It's MONDAY-MONDAY-MONDAY!!!!
Sep 24, 2007
Okay, so...another Monday has come to pass with nothing special to blog about, well...at least nothing exciting. I really seem to have no life.
My husband and I went to a work function on Friday. I wore my new size 8 slacks...looked nice...many people didn't even know who I was. Sunday, we went to a BBQ/pinic at a local park to celebrate the 16 month old son of some friends...he is finally cancer free! I wore my little Levis...looked nice..many people didn't recognize me. I actually had people look at me, look at Damon, and then ask him where his wife was. They weren't kidding, either. It seems so bizarre to me that I could see these people several times a year, hold extensive conversations with them, but now....they don't even seem to put 2+2 together and come up with me. Who in the hell do they think he is standing with? Oh well, I guess I just need to chalk it up to the fact that #1: I do look significantly different. #2: I must have really looked like sh*t before! #3: At least they all seem pleased by what they see now.
I have class tonight, the first since my two tests last Wednesday. I hope to get my grades back tonight, as I really need to end the torture. The longer that I have to wonder how I did...the more wrong answers I seem to remember writing. I hope my mind is just playing tricks on me.

WOW!! is all I can say...

Okay, so this is what happened...
Sounds like it's going to be an amazing story, doesn't it? Well, it is...but not an exciting story to anyone but me. So, it started off at Target on Thursday (?) of last week. I needed to buy a pair of black slacks for a professional dinner that my husband has to attend this Friday. I headed straight for the clearance rack because, well... I.Am.Cheap. Anyway, I found a really cute pair for only $7, down from $29. SOLD!! But, I could only find them in a size 8...there were about 10 pairs all a size 8! I decided that I would try them on even though they looked much too small to fit this body. I figured that the only person that would see my humiliation of trying to sqeeze my butt into them was me...so, what the heck, sign me up! Now, let me back up for a moment and fill in the fact that I was wearing size 10 pants at the time....so to fit into an 8 would have been lucky at best. I stripped down...put my legs in...pulled them up...buttoned...zipped....HOLY SH*T~ they fit, with room to spare!!
Fast forward to Sunday at Costco. I walked past the display of pants...which I never look at because they have never carried *my* size. But, I decided to look for whatever reason today. They had these really cute Levis Capris for only $10 a pair...again, SOLD!!! Of course, you can't try them on at Costco, you have to buy, try, and return if they are the wrong size. So, I found 2 pairs of 8's and came home. They were HUGE!!! I couldn't believe it. I went directly back to the store and found 2 pairs of 6's, knowing that surely they would never fit. Uh...they fit, but are loose. WTF?? How can I drop 2 sizes in one week this far out? I only lost 2 pounds this week, not 20! The really strange part to me is that my petite little MIL is 5'2" and about 120-125...she is a size 8. I thought she was going to choke when I told her about this week and what size I ended up in. She just gave away several pairs of size 6 pants (but, not to me, thank you very much! lol) because they were too tight on her.
Now, how is it possible to be nearly 40 pounds heavier than someone and yet be able to wear a size smaller? I have gone over this in my head and it just doesn't make any sense. But, I am not complaining about what size I ended up in for now...except that I seem to have left my ass somewhere. MacKenzie keeps saying that I have a "butt minus" :-/. That's not very nice.

10 pounds to goal....

...as of this morning....that's really all I have to say...except...have a great day!!
Hmmm...there must be something to write about....
Sep 06, 2007
Eh...maybe not. I haven't been regularly blogging on Mondays after weigh-ins like I wanted to because...well, there just isn't much to say. But, I sure am going to try!
School started for everyone. So far, it's going just fine. I really like my A&P class...the professor is a hoot...a little on the liberal (just a guess), hippy side. I like that. She's the kind of professor that says..."Hey, we're all adults here...make your decisions accordingly." Instead of controlling your every move and decision in the lecture and lab as some professors like to do...because god forbid someone do something not listed on the syllabus. I have had a couple of control-freak profs like that...not a fun learning environment.
Nothing new to report weightloss and health wise. The loss is at a snail's pace...it could take me the better part of forever to lose this last 13 pounds to goal. What's worse is that I really want to lower that goal to about 145 or 140...but I am too chicken to actually do it "officially". I think keeping it at 150 and actually hitting that would keep me motivated to do more, rather than constantly moving the finishline. Although, I am already dealing with a bony butt as it is! I don't really know where I would lose another 20 or more pounds...could be a disaster.
And, finally, I need new pics for the seven month mark. I promised myself that I wouldn't get behind for the entire first year. After that...who cares?? lol. Well okay...except for plastics...I can't wait to put those suckers up some day. Maybe a new avatar pic, too...I need to get my hair cut...so, maybe after that.
