Clearly, Jerry picked out this shirt for me–we noticed it at Goodwill and he was tremendous bummed it was a males’s small, so he requested me if I would put on it. Hahaha, sure–I will humor him. I put very very skinny elastic across the backside of it in order that it does not simply hug my hips and butt. I like shirts to take a seat comfortably at hip stage, so I really do that to numerous my shirts.
Simply as I sat down to write down this, an enormous storm got here out of nowhere (I am positive it wasn’t out of nowhere; I simply by no means have a look at the climate app). I really like to observe storms and I used to be watching the fruit bushes within the entrance yard blowing onerous from the wind. Then out of the blue, the lifeless tree throughout the road simply snapped in half and the highest half fell to the highway, shattering like a chunk of glass. It was actually cool to observe! Though, now we must clear it up when the storm stops (by “we” I imply Jerry, in fact.)
I discussed a couple of days in the past that I have been going by means of a fairly dangerous depressive episode not too long ago. I do know I sound like a damaged file, however I have been tremendous overwhelmed for practically a 12 months now and my moods undoubtedly have an effect on the way in which I eat.
This previous week, nonetheless, I have been engaged on sustaining a routine–I wish to keep constant in my consuming habits no matter my moods. I feel this may actually assist me with upkeep (one thing I’ve by no means been in a position to do for very lengthy). Normally, when my temper adjustments, so do my consuming habits–and it is onerous to take care of (or lose) weight.
I targeted lots on consuming good, wholesome meals this week (a number of greens). My favourite was when Jerry made his Beans & Greens. I *love* it and it is such a consolation meals for me. Jerry likes to make that after I’m having actually dangerous days and it undoubtedly makes me really feel higher!
I have not been snacking at evening, primarily as a result of I have been holding my palms busy with stitching. I used to stitch *all the things* by machine as a result of why sew by hand when you are able to do it in a fraction of the time with a machine? I needed to sew thick denim at some point and it tousled my machine; so I sewed that half by hand. And now I like it! I nonetheless use my machine for many issues, however there’s something actually enjoyable about sitting in mattress at evening and hand stitching. Normally I take heed to a podcast, too.
Anyway, so far as my weigh-in goes, I had one other loss this week:
I used to be at 134.6 today–which is inside my “comfortable vary”! I prefer to be nearer to 130, however the vary I am aiming to remain in for precise upkeep (if I ever determine it out!) is 125-135.
I’ve undoubtedly felt the distinction in my garments, which is good. I am getting increasingly more bodily comfy, and I haven’t got to do a “denims dance” to get into my denims which might be simply out of the dryer. I am positive you understand the dance I am speaking about? Squatting a number of occasions and transferring round, bending each which approach to get the denims to take a seat proper? Possibly it is simply me 😉
It is humorous, though–a lot of the garments that I altered for myself simply a few months in the past are feeling a little bit big–and I have not even worn a few of them but! I will attempt to put collectively a submit of earlier than and afters of the garments I have been engaged on.
Since so a lot of you mentioned you actually appreciated the overalls I posted about final week, I labored up the nerve to put on them out. And never simply OUT–I went to my brother’s summer season get together with about 150 individuals! Go large or go residence, proper?
I felt sort of very self-conscious at first, however I am unable to even rely the variety of compliments individuals gave me on them! It boosted my vanity (which was a lot wanted). And it gave me the chance to satisfy and converse with a number of new individuals (one thing that often offers me horrible nervousness). I’m actually glad I ended up sporting them. And now I really feel assured about engaged on extra enjoyable garments 🙂
Anyway, I am pleased with how the week went so far as my habits and routine (and particularly stepping out of my consolation zone on the get together). I want I might say that I not really feel depressed, however everyone knows that is not one thing you may simply flip a swap and really feel again to regular. It is like telling a pitcher to throw strikes!
I’ve all the time liked this meme 😉 (And severely, the meme rabbit gap is the BEST for pulling me out of a tragic temper.)
