it gets better. i went this store that have fairly inexpensive pants, and since i am in transition mode i didn't want to break the bank on pants that i may have to replace (hopefully, fingers crossed) in another three months. right? well usually i get a M-L or L pants as most of their dress pants are pretty tight fitting. Medium hardly goes past my hips....but today they did!! i was super happy and impressed.
i really feel that the un-obsession with the scale has helped me to focus less on numbers and more on my actions and habits, which is helping me move past the plateau. i think - i will measure Feb 1st, but until then i am going by what the clothes say. my best friend saw me after like ten days and she noticed a big difference too, which just made me triple happy. all in all it was a day with concrete results.
on other news, my big toe nail is in major pain, the nail on one side looks bruised. i think i must have jammed it somewhere or wore my shoes too tight. it didn't help that i ran with it today either, i just didn't want to lose the momentum. i hope my poor toe is okay :( the last thing i need is a set back.
final note of the day - i am contemplating a 10k and a half marathon this year. i am really really really intimidated by anything involving the word "marathon", so i think that's more reason to do it - don't you? the 10k is in April & the 1/2 marathon is in October, which gives me ample time to train. however, combined both courses will be close to $200 and i am really trying hard to get debt free among other pressing financial responsibilities. so i am stumped on where to invest. decisions, decisions, descisions!
to the stars,
uma
