Most important item of the day/week/moth/year/decade, first... I wore "college" jeans today!!!! THAT'S RIGHT!! I wore jeans today that I wore when I was in college (and they were a single digit!)!! I was going through my drawer this morning and saw a pair of jeans that I was not even aware that I still had. Out of idle curiosity, I tried them on...and they fit like a glove!! I wish there had been a camera on my face when I got them up over my hips! So, guess what I wore today (I was out of the building today, so I could wear them)!!!
I had a training today in Nashville, whose registration stated, "lunch provided." I had no clue what this lunch was going to consist of...would it be cold salads, sandwiches, mayo based salads, pb&j and chips...WHAT?!!! So I brought my lunch, just in case. I was pretty proud of myself for doing that! I needed to pack snacks anyway, so throwing my chicken and a wrap in the lunchbox was no problem. Well, lunch was a mini italian buffet...yes, I said BUFFET! and it looked AMAZING!! There was chicken alfredo, some sort of pasta marinara with italian sausage, some other pasta dish, some sort of lemon seasoned chicken breast, and tiramisu. Boy was I glad that I brought my lunch! I ate my good ol' carrots and salsa, a piece of the supplied chicken breast, and strawberries with mini marshmallows. I was pretty impressed with my will power while everyone else at my table had 2 helpings of tiramisu because, "this is soooo good!!"
The hubs and I had planned on eating mexican tonight, since it is "recovery" night. That sounded like a great idea until I got out of the training, went to softball practice, and went to "get my hair did." By that point it was after 6:15 and Brandon wasn't really wanting to get back out. I, on the other hand, had been thinking about mexican ALL day long. I had to fulfill my craving, so I got two chicken soft tacos, to go. I even told them to leave out the chips and salsa! Those chicken tacos were EXACTLY what I needed and I enjoyed every bite!!
When I got home, I had the sudden urge to try on old clothes! The "college jeans" were not a fluke! (First, I called my college roommate to make sure that the jeans I had on were, in fact, jeans that I wore in college.She would know since we raided each other's clothes on a daily basis.) I could wear other old jeans too!!! Brandon (being a total male in this situation) said, "I'm glad you kept those jeans, now you don't have to go buy new ones!"...and, he was DEAD serious. I looked at him like he had just said that I was missing a toe! I said, "You are out of your mind if you think I'm not going to go buy new clothes! If for no other reason than to say, 'I bought a size 8 today!'" Oh, silly man! Shopping WILL happen in my near future...but I want to wait for a few more weeks!
Tomorrow night, a friend is staying the night...so you know we have to have some "junk" food. I plan on making mini corndog muffins (via pinterest, a WW recipe) and WW cupcakes (a box of cake mix, mixed with a diet soda)...I'm really looking forward to it!
I'm ending the day feeling really good about myself! I'm not at my goal weight, but I feel amazing!! I'm still hoping and trying for the goal weight...although, it will not happen by the time we finish INSANITY next week.
Thank you to everyone for the words of encouragement and comments/compliments! They really do mean the world to me!!
