My Pants are Falling!

I've gone down 2 pant sizes - from a 22 to an 18. My normal "skinny day" pants are loose and my "fat day" pants look like a circus tent on me. I feel so good knowing that I could house homeless clowns - in my pants. Somehow that sounds wrong.

I've taken three trash bags of clothes to Goodwill over the last week. Part of that is trying to fit all my stuff into my new apartment, but for the most part - my clothes don't fit anymore!

After buying three new and different sized pairs of jeans, I've already given two of them away. This kinda sucks but....awesome at the same time. I'm now fitting into a size 18....I can't remember the last time that happened. I'm also down 15 pounds!!!

I can't really say exercise had really had much to do with this - most of it is calorie counting. At the size I was, I was having a hard time exercising, actually. My foot, which I injured two years ago, kept feeling "off" and I was really afraid of doing more damage. But when I went to the gym last night and walked, I felt so much lighter and my foot was just fine. Now I get to go back and start muscle building since I've reached this far.

I sort of wish I could still afford to go to my personal trainer, Felicia. She knew how to kick my butt and gave me arm muscles. Le sigh. Maybe if I can get a better job soon...

If I can reach 220 by the end of this month, it will be fab-u-los. And if I can get to 200 or 180 by my birthday...even better. But I'm just reaching one week at a time right now.

MY PANTS ARE FALLING!

Stuck in Twilight

So I lied. I didn't mean to do it, but I did. I'm going ahead and taking a class this semester. But it's a Grammar and Writing Style course - so I doubt it will be THAT stressfull. It will even help with my personal and business writing, and that's not a bad thing.



I'm engrossed in the Twilight saga. Thanks to Big Sir. I'll probably have book 4 finished by the end of the week (depending upon how obsessive I get).



Last night, when I was falling asleep - I was re-reading passages in my head. It was like my thoughts took the format of the book and I was THINKING in terms of the author's writing style. That's never happened to me before. It was really freaky and highly annoying.



I've managed to finish reading 6 books in 2 weeks - something I've never been able to do before. My guess is they were just good books and I couldn't put them down. Sharon Shinn has a really easy writing style so I was able to finish her "TwBut all the reading has hurt my exercise schedule. The only good news is that I've managed to only gain 1 pound over the holidays - which is a small victory.



With moving and unpacking, and my place looking like a storage unit, it's been hard sticking to a food and work out plan. Last night I went to the gym for the first time in nearly two weeks. Not too upset about that, but it's time to get back to the plan.
