Hmmmm

So, I did NOT get up and do the pre 6 a.m. work out today, Dan volunteered to take Drew to weight lifting so in bed I stayed, BUT not all is lost, as I have made a date with my elliptical this evening. (Gee I hope it puts out).
Last night, I totally felt like I was cheating. I made a plain pancake muffin, cut it in half put a little peanut butter and some Walden Farms Strawberry fruit spread on it....amazing. It was SOOOOO good. You must try it soon. I got the spread at Hy-Vee in Carroll, its even on sale right now.
Today, I have felt the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in the span of 2 hours. I put on a pair of aeropastle jeans I bought, without trying on, a month ago, I could not get them over my calves. Today, I am wearing them, plenty of room in the calf and I had to put a belt on too, and for its actual purpose, not just so it looked cute. Evidently the calves are getting smaller. Two short hours later I had my physical for my life insurance and let me just tell you, I hate, no despise, no LOATHE her scale. I have a healthmate digital scale, which I know is accurate. I have a 10 pound bag of flour that I put on it on occasion to make sure it stays "fairly" accurate. The scale this gal used was off from my scale by 20 pounds! YES 20 pounds...I about died. I'm thinking its because its the old fashioned dial kind of scale and she travels with it in her briefcase, so there is no way it can be accurate...(Right?) I'm hoping they don't decide they aren't going to insure me because what I told the dude on the phone interview was 20 pounds different than what my exam reported. I wanted so scream, BUT, BUT, I've lost 56 pounds!!!!  That was almost worse than having to fast until 10 this morning. Evidently ExamOne does not realize this girl has eaten two meals my the time 10 a.m. rolls around, so now I am playing catch up and my body will probably be out of whack for a while today. (The 10 a.m. fast was another reason I didn't work out this morning. I would have been absolutely STARVING and by starving I mean, chew my arm off hungry, by 10 had I worked out, as it was I was just a little hungry.)
Felt pretty good to go to Carroll yesterday, buy a size large pair of yoga pants and a size large sundress and know they would fit. The Buckle gave me mixed feelings. It was nice to know that I could fit stuff in there again. It was nice to not have to look for the largest size they carried. BUT, either the gals working there are much less "vulture-like" than they used to be, or I still looked like I was too fat/old/poor to shop there. We didn't even get a hello. We ended up not buying anything either....
