61/365 Non-Scale Victories

I had two major ones today!
First of all, I'm  embarrassed and ashamed to admit that I was so fat, I could not shop in that famous large lady's store, Ms. Bryant.  Granted I probably wasn't too far and could probably fit into a few things but the shame of it kept me out of there.  I went in there today and I fit into a lot of things!  It totally overwhelmed me and I think I made some poor choices because I wasn't thinking straight.  A red and I mean RED skirt?  Where am I going to wear that and it clinged a little too close in the belly area.  A burgundyish pair of "jeggings"?  It actually said they were jeggings on the label.  I think some items are going back even if just for my pocketbook's sake but wow, what a "high".

Secondly, I haven't biked the hill of death all summer but this evening I just thought I'd try it.  And I did ok.  Yes, I was out of breath and it took me a minute to recover.   However, I remember two summers ago trying to go up that hill and truly thinking my heart was going to give out.  I didn't know it could beat that fast and that hard.  I remember I felt it all the way through the top of my head.  It totally wasn't like that today.  An added bonus....I had a good looking jogger cheering me on from the top of the hill...nothing like motivation.

Stay tuned...I'm hoping to have a ON-scale victory to share tomorrow.

Breakfast was the same old Kix and milk.
I was running around all day and didn't eat lunch until 2.  It was Italian chicken with provolone on a bun with two servings of blue corn chips and hummus.
Later in the afternoon I had a Skinny Cow fudge bar.
Now it's well after suppertime and I'm not really hungry, I'm sure because of the late lunch.  I'm planning on having apple slices and yummo dip later.  If I do I come out to  1268/1930 for the day and that's ok because I'll make up for it tomorrow when I go to Peel Pizza with some friends.

  4. Yay! Being able to shop for clothes you previously wouldn't fit into is a great victory and a great motivator. Wear that red skirt with pride, woman!

  5. Oh, I loved reading this entry today! Sometimes, I think it's the "non-scale" victories that are the best.
