Strange as it is, my pants fit

I have a pair of pants (which of course my mom bought for me cause you know how much I love to shop). These are size 12 Talbot flat front navy colored khakis. I almost never wear them because they fit. Most of my pants are of the classy, stretchy Chico’s variety, with elastic waistbands. While that sounds terrible, Chico’s pants actually look very nice. But they are also very forgiving. My other fashion choices (disasters) include a couple of pair of capris that are a little too big, and jeans that are a little too big. And shapeless sundresses. So wearing a pair of pants that a) aren’t stretchy and b) fit feels a little weird. I guess its more evidence that last weekend’s food escapade didn’t result in my packing back on the 30 pounds I’ve lost.

I didn’t get up and walk this morning. I have a cold and I am pooped. I may try to get out this evening. I know I can walk since the symptoms are above the neck, but if I still feel like the living dead I’ll likely take a pass. Yesterday I ran, walked, and lifted weights. Go me!

Before I picked up the kids, I checked out the gym at his school/church. It is much smaller than the Y, but the only piece of equipment missing is the cage for doing free squats. I asked my husband to go and check it out & see what he thinks. They don’t have a hot tub either, but here is the cool thing: the community pool is located inside the Y. So, for $3.70 each/ we have access to the pool, hot tub, etc if we want it. They also don’t have spinning classes, but they have the other classes I might take. Notice I say ‘might’, since I am not much of a class taker. The Y costs us $76, an individual membership for just me would be $43 – the new gym is free. I want him to check it out and then we’ll make a decision. We’ll see – I’d love to save the money, but I don’t want to short change myself either.

I am seriously considering buying a scooter. I must contact the bloggers I read who are scooterers to find out details.
