Yesterday was a superb day. First I took a test in my anatomy and physiology class, which I feel confident about having gotten a pretty good grade in. This is a very good thing after my last grade not being up to par. Unfortunately I won't have my grade back until Monday, so in the mean time... Dear test score gods please give me the score that I know I deserve after all the studying I did and the million flash cards I made, thank you I would be forever grateful.
After completing my test I went to my favorite clothing store Lane Bryant to return a pair of pants that were too big and see if I could get find a pair that actually fit. After losing my 60Lbs. I had been left without a size. Based off the "skinny" jeans that I had held onto from my previous smaller years I thought I had a good idea of the size a needed. I bought a couple pairs at Walmart, figuring that I just needed a couple pairs to wear until I was done with my weight-loss. There is no sense in spending lots of money on a temporary new wardrobe. The pants I bought at Walmart were WAY to large and no amount of scrunching them up in a belt would make them fit right. So I fell back on my trusty Lane Bryant. Since they had never seriously let me down I went off the sizing listed on the website and ordered a couple pairs of jeans. One was acceptable, but the other, unfortunately, had the same lack of fitting issue as the Walmart jeans.
So I found myself at my favorite clothing store returning a pair of jeans and looking for my current size. After looking through the store and talking to Pam, the sales lady, I was worried that I had lost too much weight for my favorite store. I know I should not be disappointed to have lost too much weight for my plus size store, but before I started shopping at Lane Bryant I hated shopping for clothes. I have always been a curvy girl so finding jeans that fit me from waist to thighs to ankles was almost impossible without a gap in the back and thighs that were a bit snug. Well after trying on a few pairs of pants, joy once again returned to my day. I am officially a size 14, which is about 3 sizes down from where I was. Now I know that the US Size Committee gets together every decade or so and adjusts the measurements on each size so that the "average size" always stays in a specific range. This is of course due to the unfortunate fact that the average weight of the American population is also increasing per year. However, I will not deny that my new number is so very pretty.
In celebration of my wonderful day, so I am claiming, my husband treated me to a date at Lucille's BBQ. I attempted to behave myself with a salad for the main course, but I know I will be suffering for it tomorrow. I at least have some healthy foods already prepared for me for the next few days to stay on track with trying to behave myself (leftovers). I am also back on track with my exercise routine, starting with my trusted Bollywood workout last night.
