All last week I've felt fat. . . I know, that is probably not PC and there are people out there much bigger than me, but everybody has "fat" days, just like everybody has "skinny" days. This last week was a "fat" week. And actually, my scale has agreed with me. I have consistently been 147+ all week, even weighing in at 150.8 (!!) on Thursday. I know why Thursday was a high weigh in day, we ate Chinese for lunch on Wednesday and on Tuesday, knowing we didn't have to work on Wednesday, we (Chris and I both) had a couple Long Island Ice Teas. Friday was actually my lowest day, but that was still 147.8.
I need to cut back on . . . well, everything. I liked being in the 146 range and was hoping to go down even a little more. But that isn't happening right now.
The other thing is that I am drinking waaaayyyyy too many Starbucks mochas. My current job has me driving a lot to meet clients and I often meet them in Starbucks. My office is really, really out of the way for anyone I work with to come to appts there, so I meet them in the community. And, around here, Starbucks is plentiful. But when I'm meeting with someone at Starbucks I don't feel comfortable not getting something, so I order a tall (small) white chocolate caramel mocha (my go-to drink). I don't like tea, and I don't like Starbucks black coffee (I'd have to add cream even if I did). So now I'm drinking 300-400 (at least) calories about 3-4 times a week. And even when I'm not meeting a client, I will often get a coffee anyway as I drive by.

Just talking about (or typing) makes me want to go get a coffee.
It needs to stop!

Like I said on Friday, I went shopping with my mom and sister a week (or so) ago. (Before my "fat" week.) I really need bottoms, slacks, jeans, skirts, etc. My job has me going to court more than I was before and they dress nicer here than they did at my last job. Plus, all my jeans are pretty old (a year or more). Anyway, I got only 2 pairs of pants (leggings and slacks) and one skirt, no jeans. (I see a trip to Value Village in my future.) But the one pair of slacks I bought was a size 8, the leggings and skirt were both mediums. I love being a size 8. Even though I weigh more than I did in high school, I was a size 8 in high school, so it feels fantastic to be that small again.
The last "set" of jeans I got were from my coworker at my last job a couple years ago. Her sister had gained some weight and had some jeans she was getting rid of. At the time I was a size 10 and my coworker asked me if I wanted them. I said sure. One of the pair that she gave me was/is well loved. They were by far my favorite, but they now have some holes forming in the butt area (isn't that a strange area for holes?) so I can't really wear them to work anymore.
The other pair is a pair of Lucky Brand jeans. I have never had a pair of Lucky jeans, and I've heard they are fairly expensive brand. But they've always been a little tight, especially right after being washed, so I don't wear them much. I put them on today and was annoyed that they were tight. I hate that feeling. I know they loosen up and become comfortable, but that beginning of the day tightness drives me crazy. As I sit here typing this they actually feel like I could use a belt (I've never worn a belt with these pants because they've always been so tight.) I would love to be small enough that they are loose right out of the wash. Anyway, I decided to try to figure out the size on them (the tag says 29, which is un-American {LOL!}). I did what all of us do now-a-days, I googled it. Lucky Brand jeans size 29 = size 8.
This means that even when I was a comfortable size 10, I was squeezing my butt into a size 8 pair of pants without knowing it (no wonder they were so tight). That is kind of a cool thing. =)
