- I was up .5 pounds on my home scale on Saturday. I haven’t taken my measurements yet so I don’t know what the deal is there. I’m not freaked out. I know I’m doing the right things so the weight loss will follow.
- I was down .6 pounds for the weigh-in for our office Biggest Loser contest. I discount that number because it is taken after I exercise in the morning. I appreciate it for contest purposes though…better down something than up in weight!
- Feb bootcamp ended Friday and I improved a lot in the benchmark workout we did at the beginning of the month. I’m looking forward to March’s go ’round.
- Last week was fairly light on exercise. I took three (planned) rest days. I feel like a lazy slob! I made it to three days of bootcamp but I didn’t do a long run and I only had one other day of cardio.
- I decided to do a 10K sometime in May. It is really hard to find races that time of year because it is so freakin’ warm here.
- I find that I don’t run when I don’t have a race planned. The downside is that training for a race means that I can’t do other types cardio that I enjoy. Catch-22 much?
- I need to start drinking my water again. I am terrible about hydration at home! Terrible! There are days when I don’t drink anything from 6PM-10PM. It seems like I’m always holding the baby or scarfing down dinner really quick before he starts fussing. This must change.
- I fit into another new pair of jeans. Yay! I bought some jeans from Old Navy that fit in one wash but were too tight in a different wash (same size, same style). Now they fit!
- I love Old Navy for transitional clothing. $22 jeans work for me when I am losing weight and not trying to spend a lot of dough. They might not last a long time but they work for now.
- I still can’t fit into the Size 12 Long and Leans from Gap. The 14s are too big (or maybe it is too stretched out?) to the point where I don’t want to wear them anymore. I still can’t get in the 12s though. How is this possible?

I have Gap Long & Leans in 8, 10, 12 and at one point the 8 fit but the 10 felt a little tight. I don’t get it either.
LOL! That sounds like me. I now have every size from 14 to 2.
I never trust jeans because the designers seem to make up their own size charts. I have a pair of jeans in size 6 that I am swimming in, but another pair in a different brand/same size that are just right. go figure!
I started keeping a gallon of water by my bedside to help me drink more. It really does enhance weight loss/maintenance by flushing your system.
They totally make up sizes. I know some of my regular stores have clothes that run big and others runs extra small. Vanity sizing I believe they call it? That is a great idea about the water. I think having something accessible both upstairs and downstairs will really help me.
