Change today::  +2.0 lbs.   Loss-so-far:  29.2 lbs.  /  34.6 lbs. 

I gained two whole pounds in one day.  Two.  Pounds. 

Then this afternoon I discovered the probable cause.  Yeah, Tom came to visit.  Dammit.  I so totally wasn’t expecting that.  My body seems to have adopted a new crazy schedule, one that I can’t understand nor predict.  But at least it’s good to know I have a reason for gaining two pounds overnight.

This morning I pulled out three pairs of jeans from the very depths of my dresser… jeans which I have not worn for ummm, probably four years.  I like these jeans a lot.  One pair is burgundy, one pair is brown, and one pair is butter-soft-faded-light-blue.  I tried them on.  I could pull each over my hips but could not button nor zip any of the three.

This is good.  The last time I attempted to put these jeans on, they stopped midway up my thighs.  The fact that I got them up around my hips is definitely progress.  The fact that they would not button or zip gives me something to shoot for.

I want those jeans.  I want to wear those jeans!

Now that I’ve covered the bad news (weight gain and pants that don’t fit), I’ll move right on to the good news.  I logged in my measurements (http://www.weighttracker.info/).  I hadn’t measured for a full month, so I got to see some nice progress!  Just thought I’d share!   =D
