Four days of this:
And this:
Same thing, right?
I did splurge a bit on the eating, but not much...just the odd S'more and Cheese Puff here and there.
I found an old "calorie log" notebook from 2010 and noticed my weight was the same back then as it is today. So even though I haven't made it to that illusory goal of "whatever-it-is" (maybe that's my problem?), I've maintained! Yay me. I have to pat myself on the back for being so persevering. If only there were an Olympic sport of dieting!
I almost did a stupid, yet funny, thing yesterday. Almost. I think the fact that I didn't, means I've really grown as a person. Either that, or I'm slipping. A year ago, I probably would have done it. I was driving down Main Street in Pleasanton, when from the corner of my eye, I spotted the brightest red bikini I'd ever seen! It was like a beacon calling out to me, a siren! An otherworldly fabric demanding my attention. It was hanging outside a boutique on a Sale rack. I decided that it was fate, and that THAT would be my "goal bikini". Great idea, right? I pulled over, walked to the boutique, grabbed the bikini (and some other really cute sale items) and headed for the dressing room. Of course I knew the bikini wouldn't fit. I just wanted to see...... By the way, this is the same boutique from my blog post No Really, Where Is The Normal Person's Large? And oh my god! Well, the suit had been marked down from a ridiculous price of $80, to $49, to $29, to $19, and then finally to a needy and desperate $15. And do you know why? Because no woman, no normal, healthy woman, is ever going to fit into a "Medium" size of anything this designer makes. I think I got one leg in. I didn't even cry! I did what any woman in my position would do; thought about taking a picture of me in a portion of the bathing suit to post to my blog to go along with the story I was going to tell about it. I wish I had! Now THAT would have been funny!
