I will be the first person to admit that I have not kept up my routine at the gym. And have thus suffered a plateau.
There's a few craptastic things going on in my life which I am using as an excuse. But mostly. I've been lazy.
My eating has stayed pretty on point. So I haven't suffered any of the feared regain. Thankfully. But I haven't lost much either.
Today though, I celebrated a little non scale victory in the form of new pants. Errr like the actual article of clothing. I've been needing new jeans for awhile and typically buying new jeans means putting the hood up on my hoody, running into the store and shamefully searching for my size before hurriedly buying them and suffering some sort of panic attack in the parking lot. Then praying they fit when I get home.
Today was slightly similar. Except that the only size I could find was 2 sizes smaller than what I normally wear. I rationalized that they probably wouldn't fit but they might fit in a few months now that I'm back on track. I also picked up a new shirt. That isn't a tuxedo. Or a band shirt. Or a shirt with a cat shooting lasers out of its eyes. As I typically wear.
Once I returned home I went to put them away, shoving the brand new tags still on jeans into a drawer of my dresser that is left for 'shit I might wear some day'. But I guess I was curious to see how far I needed to go before I could wear them, because before I knew it I was trying them on. (Logic dictates you do this in the store - I KNOW. but I'm not that logical ok?)
And wouldn't you fucking know it. They fit. And not even like fuck these are too tight to sit down fit. They actually fit. I had a weird moment of checking the label twice to make sure I was seeing it correctly. But yea. Totally fit.
The cute shirt I bought however - TOO BIG! And slightly see through.
Strange morning. That's for sure.
It's my last day off before returning to work tomorrow so I'm getting my meal prep done and doing laundry and crocheting and drinking too much coffee. As one tends to do on days off.
So despite the shittiness that is currently invading my edges and making me anxious and on the cusp of depressive - life is pretty good today.
