Yikes.

Totally prolific for weeks and then ... poof!

Once again, life is still just really insane. I'm sorting through it all, etc., but I'm only disappearing right now because the rest of my life demands my attention. Here are a few things:

1) I'm starting to get used to being smaller. I've said before that I never got used to being a size 10 before I started to put the weight back on. Well, I'm still a size 10. And now I have several items of clothes that are a size 10. Or a medium. I don't even bother grabbing a size 12 now. Not because of vanity, but because, seriously, it's going to be too big. The biggest danger right now is that all of my good winter work pants are too big and they're going to need some work. I don't know if my tailor can fix them, but I'm hoping. Depending on the cost, of course.

Anyway, it's probably more apt to say that I'm getting less and less scared of being at this size. I'm not so worried anymore about gaining back the weight again. I mean, it might happen - don't get me wrong - it's just not as much of a fear. I trust myself and what's best for me; I take care of myself accordingly. When there is too much indulgence, I counter it with moderation and rest, or moderation and serious ass-busting workouts, which is most applicable for the situation.

This is all very weird for me. Besides, it's just a fucking size.

2) You all need to try the Progresso Light line of soups. I had a cup of the Southwestern Vegetable tonight and holy crap! It was fantastic. Seriously. And not all salty and preservative-tasting, either. Plus, if you're a WW-follower, the soups are all 0 POINTS. Anyway, really good stuff.

3) I'm at 143.5 right now. I'd fret about 3.5 weight gain if I didn't know exactly why it happened. The past two weeks have been chock-filled with weddings and wedding-related activities. Lots of eating and drinking. I didn't exercise all of that much (maybe twice a week), and while I didn't have any binges on cake, there was cake. And cookies. And Doritos. What can I say? I enjoy processed cheese powder.

Now that that's all over, I'm recommitting myself to my old routine, with strict adherence to my diet and exercise plans for a little while. Mostly because my stomach has been a bit of a mess, which means too many breads and the like. My body could use a little detoxing. Tomorrow morning I'm going on a long run, and tomorrow night I'll hopefully hit a yoga class. I've got errands and the like in the afternoon, but other than that, it'll be a slow day so working in a yoga class seems like a good way to round out my mini vacation.

Hope you're all well and happy - I'll try and get back to regular posting soon.
