So, today I went to put on a pair of jeans that I used to always wear. Well, hadn’t worn them in a while and of course, they barely go on! I measure myself and sure enough, my waist and hip measurements are bigger than before I started running and weight training. I’m terrified to get on the scale out of fear that I may have ballooned another 20 lbs. I don’t get it-I’ve been working so hard-running, biking, weight training. Why am I seemingly getting bigger? I can’t win no matter what I do, it seems. To top it off, I asked my husband to please NOT dry my pants in the dryer because it shrinks everything-but he keeps doing it. So now I have one pair of pants that fit-well, until I have to wash them. I’m so frustrated and feel like a prize pig at a county fair. Blah.

Maybe it’s the muscles…
Don’t worry about the scale. I didn’t weigh myself for 4 months and was surprised to discover that I had lost 37 lbs. I usually do a weigh-in each week now. I’ve lost a total of 50lbs. Anyways, I’m sending positive vibes your way!
