Just finished another workout...

Yesterday I went over my calorie count by about 400... we had pizza and salad for dinner, I had a chocolate chip cookie and soda, and then later I ate a few chips with queso dip and drank a mojito.

Now, I'm far from feeling guilty. I realize there will be days like yesterday where my will power will be tested, and there will be temptations right in front of me, but I made the conscious decision to eat what I ate, and I also decided not to work any of the calories off. So I'm not going to spend any time dwelling on it - I picked my calorie counting back up this morning and did a full 50 minutes of Zumba, plus pulled my son in a wagon around the neighborhood for 30 minutes.

Also, yesterday I decided to try on the pair of dress pants I was given back in October. They are size 15, and when they were given to me, I could button them, and zip them, but it wasn't pretty. My belly was hanging over the top, the material was stretched over my thighs, and my butt looked squished. I just tucked them away in my drawer hoping I could one day look good in them. That day was yesterday!!! I put them on, they didn't cling to my hips and when I zipped them up, they camouflaged my little pooch instead of emphasizing it! I wore them all day, and never once felt self-conscious. Non-scale victory for sure!

Unfortunately, I'm wearing the new skinny jeans I bought for myself at the end of January and they are WAY too big in the waist now. I can pull them down without unbuttoning them, and they fall down even while I'm just standing. Also, the jeans I bought back in August are getting a touch too big, and forget about my black jeans I bought before Christmas - I'm swimming in them.

I don't know when I'll be able to buy new clothes next. Spring is here so maybe I'll wear more skirts and dresses until I hit smaller sizes closer to my goal weight!

Today I'm working to get my calories back on track - had oatmeal with walnuts and blueberries (the walnuts are CRAZY full of calories - mostly good fats though) and I had two cookies and a cup of root beer.

I'm ready for some dinner! Hope it's something healthy. More later.
