Happy Saturday! This is my favorite day of the week. I don't know what we're doing today, and I don't care lol. We will play it by ear.

To celebrate my one-year-aversary yesterday I bought myself a new pair of jeans and a new light jacket. I always wore my husband's hoodies in mild weather, but now doing so makes me look like a child in their parent's jacket. Plus, all the coats are on clearance this time of year. The jacket I picked out is a large... just a large. Not a 3x, 2x, or xl... just a large. I was flabbergasted. It's not as loose as I would like it to be, but it fits and I'll shrink into it. I also tried on some shirts, just for the hell of it. I fit in to Juniors 15/17. Again, mind blown. I tried on several pairs of jeans and found some 16s that fit, but I ended up going with a pair of size 17 LEI's because they were the cutest. Shopping, eh? I could get used to that. I'm not used to being able to find clothes that fit outside of the old woman plus size section.

Did very good on intake yesterday, especially considering it was Friday and I was tempted to just order out. I bought some strip steaks at the market and we had those for dinner. Delicioso. I managed to hold myself down to a 6.5oz portion, and even have some left over to go with my eggs this a.m. Hooray, self control. I finished off a bottle of wine I've been drinking from all week. I will not buy more. I am a wine-a-holic. I don't need those extra 125 calories per glass.

Last night my husband picked me up. Shut the front door. He's super macho strong I guess lol. I've never been the kind of girl you pick up. I was washing dishes and he snuck up behind me and caught me off guard. If I had known it was coming I'd have battled him to the death over it.

All of these new realizations have me more determined than ever to meet my next mini goal. 186, I'm coming for you! At my gym the lockers are numbered with even numbers on the bottom. Since the beginning I have chosen the locker with the number I wanted to see on the scale. I started at 280, and now I put my things in locker 196. Just a silly little way I motivate myself for solid workouts. I've moved over an entire row lol.

Yesterday I ran intervals for a couple miles then I used the recumbent bike. Trying to tone up the ol legs for my first year of short-wearing since I was like thirteen. I have never worn shorts, oh baby this is my year. Then I did upper body strength training.

Enough of my thoughts, I'm going to go get inside your head for a while :-).

Here is to a happy and active Saturday, Cheers!!
