Whole lot of craziness

My life is full...I know it...the world knows it........but I insist on adding more to it.

My husband and I are runing this exchange student camp. He's been doing most of the work, but I've been doing the behind the scenes stuff.

I only lost 1 lbs the previous week and dreading getting on the scale in the morning. I know I know..muscle weighs more than fat....still doesn't translate well to my brain when the scale is not showing how hard I have worked....so...in an effort to remain positive.......

NONE OF MY CLOTHES FIT. This is good, but a bit annoying when I put on a pair of shorts and they fall to the floor. OTTO had to deal with my pulling my pants up during a workout and showed me how to "roll them down"....that was special.

I went to the store to buy some shorts because I knew I was going to Orlando and Tampa this weekend and had nothing to wear. Prior to June 1st, I normally would wear anything from an 18 to a 20. My first instinct was to pick up a size 16 and a 14 for fun. I tried the 16 on, and they fell off. Hmmmm...so on went the 14. It felt big and there was a big gap in the waist line......NO FREAKING WAY....could it be that I was in a 12. I have to say my heart skipped a beat. I quickly got dressed and went out and grabbed the 12. Tried then on and low and behold they fit me. That felt goooooodd!!! In Orlando, I met with my best friend Sallay. She's one of the girls in the Army picture I posted. We did a little shopping and long story short...more size 12 shorts and...wait for it....size freaking 1o shirt. I don't think I've seen a size 12 since I was 14 years old...a size 10? I don't remember every wearing a size 10. I had to laugh at myself because when I was trying clothes on...I picked sizes that I used to wear.

I got to work today and my boss told me I needed to go get new uniforms. He said what I had on was too baggy and looked bad. The pants were a size 22. I fit into a 16 in my work pants. ( Mind you these are polyester, very unflattering pants) I went down a few shirt sizes too.

So that's the positive part of how I'm feeling.
Today...I got to box. OMG was that fun. I loved it. There is something so primal and good about hitting things.

OHHH almost forgot...I can run 2 miles STRAIGHT now. No stopping! I did it in 23 minutes today. Not so bad for someone that felt she couldn't run to the mail box.

I miss everyone and feel like I haven't seen you all in ages. Missy I hope you are feeling better soon. I'm off to bed. I have to get up early and make sure I get to the gym.
