183 all last week

I weighed myself a few times after Monday and confirmed 183 for the week but after my weekend in Boston visiting my brother’s family I’m going to postpone weighing until maybe Friday. My sister-in-law happens to be my favorite cook and we celebrated my nephew’s birthday on Saturday and we went all out eating. I indulged in lots that I normally wouldn’t or to such an extent.

I don’t feel bad about it at all, I just don’t want to see bigger numbers on the scale. I have full confidence I will bounce back this week. I have my swimming tonight to keep me on track.

On Friday, after putting on a pair of my freshly washed jeans and realizing that they’re quite big, I decided to look for a smaller size and try them on. I was able to fit into my size 14 jeans no problem. I have officially dropped a size!

I have to search through my closet because I’m not sure I have another size 14. I love the way the ones I wore all weekend look on me but they have paint on them from doing tons of home improvement two years ago. I can’t get away with wearing them everyday because they’re too identifiable and it looks like I’m trying to bring the 80’s back or something. I have a lot more clothes in sizes 10 and 12 so I better get losing!
