Stuffed Potato

Amazing that I can go away for a week to my parents house and do great eating wise, but send me away with the girls for a weekend and I come home feeling like a stuffed potato. Considering the food options I thought I did farely well. I'm sure the BBC's did not help a bit. So I'm on a smoothie diet for a day or 2 to see if that helps.

Yesterday I rode. I figured out that the trailhead to White Rock is open so I can now start going that route. It was a little tough, I'm not used to that route - good thing for sure. I was not hydrated enough and that added to it. All in all, it was a decent ride.

Today I did abs and circuit training. So wonderful to pump some iron! I was going to run tonight, but my foot is hurting and I do not want to make it worse. Hopefully it will calm down by morning or tomorrow evening and I can get my run in.

BIG NEWS!!! I finally found a pair of shorts! One size smaller. I pulled them off the rack, in a hurry, they looked small; I decided I should save the disappointment for home and waited to try them on. I tried them on when I got home....THEY FIT! For real? I even think I could wear another size smaller - I went and bought that pair too. I'm going to let JRo help me decide which ones to keep. The mere fact that I could even pull a 12 over my hips AND button them leaves me in complete wonderment bliss! Things are going my way!

One more piece of good news. I know running shorts get stretched out the more you wear/wash them...but today, I bought a pair of Nike shorts (my new favorite, quality really is better) in a size SMALL! Yes, I still have a lot of weight to lose. Yes, they do make one of my bulges bulge. However, in another 5 lbs and that will be gone. Basically, it is just fun to get to look at a variety of sizes and not have to go to the end hoping you find what you love in XL. Nothing wrong with XL. It is wrong for me.

Aside from being stuffed. I've had a fantastic day in all other departments. Thank You, Lord for little surprises along the way.
