The fancy "go to meeting" clothes I bought for Jon and Alisha's wedding last summer don't fit! Well actually the top parts are fine, but I'm afraid that the pants want to fall down. I had them out today because I need them for my nieces upcoming wedding.
But I'm okay with this problem, even though I swore at the time that the suit would fit me for the rest of my life. I'm just gonna buy suspenders, and live with it. And if you've ever worn suspenders, you would know they are actually quite a bit more comfortable than a belt.
But yes, the difference is kinda like being slim. You don't really appreciate it, unless you've once been fat.
Today I went out to try to buy a new pair of jeans with a 31" waist. I'm afraid that they are a rarity, and when you do find them they tend to be too short. Regardless, I still really enjoyed looking, and I finally found the perfect pair at the Goodwill for $7.50! Actually when I got them home, I found they were just a wee bit on the baggy side :)
And I suspect that the suit pants may fit me once more, sometime in the future, but I'm pretty damn confident that there will never come a time when I can't get them on. It may mean that I count calories for the rest of my life, but so be it.
I had a fairly easy day today as per the plan, and although I know it's right, it's still tricky for me. I was actually tired enough to know that easy was the only option, and yet my little voice was calling me lazy. The next few days will test me even more, but I'm resolved to hang tough. This is recovery week damn it!!! I hope I just hope I don't get fat!
And once more my transition run felt so good. Like I said, I was a bit tired, but I continue to feel so relaxed moving from my bike to the run. And I'm certain that the improved body composition is a factor! That feeling is a powerful motivator.
