Favorite pants

OK, I have finally found one bad thing about losing weight…I can’t wear my favorite pants.  Actually, I am wearing them today but they are obviously too big.  Great news, I know, but you can’t comprehend how much I love them.  They are the best material and they hang perfectly.  I know that I need to pack them away but I had to wear them one more time.  There are only 6 days of school left (HOORAY) so today will be the ceremonial send-off.  I’ll have to check the brand and be on the lookout for another pair.

On a different note I am so sore today.  I got back into lifting yesterday and learned firsthand what happens when you take time away from lifting weights.  I only used 10 pounders b/c I couldn’t find my 12 and my legs/butt are killing me today.  But it’s a good reminder of what I’m doing for my body.

Had a blast yesterday.  My hubby watched the baby so my older son and I could go to the pool.  My son kept asking me if we could go so I told him that if Dad would watch Kyle that we could.  I knew by the “yippee” from the basement that we were set.  We spent 2 hours in the sunshine and it was nice because not too many people were at the pool.  I know we’ll be able to go a couple of times a week during the summer and I can’t wait.

    Ooh…congrats on the pants being bigger. I know you’re mad right now cuz you loved the pants but I know you’ll find something equally good or probably better :)

    Oh man, I know what you mean about suddenly losing your favorite clothes. I’m in total clothes limbo because I still can’t fit into my smallest stuff and my bigger stuff really look terrible now! But this is part of the process, just imagine how great you’ll look in smaller pants, yippee!

    i know that mixed blessing feeling w the pants — pants you love that are going away is always hard because they’re not so easy to replace — but getting too small for your clothes is an awesome feeling!

    Have them altered! Then not only are you celebrating your weight loss, you are destroying your “fat clothes” so there is no room for back sliding!

    One great thing about being a diy seamstress, I will be able to hopefully keep some of my favorites with a few swipes of the scissors and sewing machine.

    Hang in there for a few more days! I know you can’t wait for the year to be over.

    I know what you mean about those old pants. It’s like losing an old friend.

    Tomorrow morning I’m going to try to hit the treadmill again. Wish me luck!
