I went shopping tonight. I only have one pair of shorts that are comfortable to wear for working out at Curves, and they’re not perfect. They’ve gotten a little bigger and that’s not good since I bought them at a garage sale by mistake—they’re maternity shorts (no insert). So, I have this annoying and extremely unattractive pooch in the front.
So, I went to my favorite little shop: Goodwill. They had no shorts for me. I did however find a couple pairs of jeans. Allow me a brief digression: I went shopping on Sunday in my closet and dresser and found that I could get into a pair of size 16 jeans and also into my size 14/16 pants! That felt quite good. Well, I was feeling a bit brave so I tried on 16’s at Goodwill. Keep in mind: Goodwill is generally used clothing, used jeans mean washed jeans, mean smaller—typically: THEY FIT!!!!!!! I quit being sad about not finding shorts. My mood went soaring!!!
Today I walked 27,198 steps, 4933 aerobic steps, 977 calories, and 9.44 miles. I’m sort of exhausted when I think about it.
It’s been so hot here that they’ve issued a heat advisory. To address that and take care of our employees, the management of the factory where I work decided to offer us the option of working 5-1:30. Everyone accepted the offer—except the crew I supervise. That will probably work out okay, since they’re packing parts faster than we can make them right now. They’ll come in at 7.
No word back on my letter.
Nelson is up to 8 minutes on the treadmill at a speed of 1.2 miles per hour.
I think I’m going to go to bed. Exhaustion is definitely setting in.

Congratulations! Don't forget to have your "meter" on when you do the jumping up and down...you want every thing to count! ;D
Seriously, it is exciting and I am so happy for you. And for Nelson! Way to go!
I've begun my slow decrease and so far I've lost 6 pounds. I hope it continues to come off! The sad thing is the lbs. never come off as easily as they went on. *sigh*
YAY for you!
i went for a bike ride today and washed windows ... that should burn a few calories, shouldn't it? :o)
