Yesterday after work I took a stab that Old Navy might have something for me to put on my body that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg - and, c'mon, this is Old Navy so if they're charging an arm and a leg, they're outta their frickin' minds.

Success!

I found a pair of low-rise cargo capris, size 10, in a sort of a dark, khaki color. And two t-shirts to boot. And a really cute necklace. All for $40.

Of course I can't find a link to the pants, but there you go. I finally have pants that fit. And now I don't have to go shopping this weekend for anything else other than a shower gift for my best friend's shower on Sunday. Hallelujah!

I felt so weird picking up a pair of pants in a size 10. Really weird. I have a couple of pairs of pants in a size 10 but I bought them so long ago and I know I felt weird back then, too. I never stayed this size long enough to get used to being a size 10, I guess. I couldn't help but wonder if the salesgirls were eying me up and down and thinking to themselves, "Who does that girl think she's kidding?"

But then I slipped the pants on in the dressing room and with no tugs or struggle, they button right up. They do fit. They are my size. Only a few months ago I was still in a size 14 (a size I'm always more comfortable being) and now to have such a huge change in what feels like a short amount of time is baffling.

I have been at this for years now and yet I am still baffled.

This morning I found out that my gym membership is officially canceled as of July 17. I decided to pop on in there to lift and do some light cardio since I paid for it after all. The girl at the counter said that it's in the system and I won't be charged for another month. Which is a nice thing since with the exception of the goofy new elliptical machine I used this morning, all of the equipment I used today I have at home or will be adding to my collection.

I never got around to working out yesterday - I worked late and with my boyfriend coming over for dinner, there wasn't the time. So I took it as a free day and plan on running the five miles I intended to do yesterday in the morning since it's my day off from word. I plan on doing some lower-body and ab work after that, then? Then I will nap on my couch with my dog and my sister's dog in preparation for the little doggy birthday party I am hosting for Glin, who turns two on Sunday.

It's really just peanut butter ice cream for her and her friends but whatever. If I could get her a party hat I totally would.
