    Trying to plan out what I need to pack for my upcoming trip. Unlike in the past, I am confronted with WAY too many clothing choices. Before I was stuck with what will fit or not be too uncomfortable 🥵.

    That's a great problem to have! Especially for a beach trip.

    Well there definitely won’t be any prancing about in swimwear but all the other clothes fit fine!

    Nothing wrong with prancing but I’m a tad too old for beach prancing. I think maybe a nice stroll on Waikiki with hubby.

    You youngsters should prance while you can! 😍

    Maybe you can flutter instead of prance. There is no age limit to being fabulous on a beach.

    I packed all my jeans up for my camp out this weekend and didn't think that I would need to wear pants today SHM! I decided to just try out my 18. Well they fit and feel good. When I put them on my son pointed out that I had two fingers of wiggle room in the waist. He's super supportive like that! Now I know that these pants are stretched out since I wore them when I was gaining but it still feels nice to have them on!

    Winter clothes fit even with a slight uptick. That’s not an excuse to stop trying but for most of my life it was a crap shoot as to whether next season’s clothes would fit. Mostly not!
    Oh - I am not fearful of the airline seatbelt tomorrow because I know it will easily fit with plenty of slack 👍.

    Great work, Yooly! These victories do not come easily. You deserve to feel really really good about both.

    I got my fracture cast removed today. I need to wear a brace for a few more weeks. I was surprised to see that my brace is a small/medium. I’ve never been a small/medium anything - still not in clothes for sure. But somehow having a bulky black wrist brace in a small/medium just tickled me! 🥳

    The wrists and ankles may be small. It’s the in between that needs work!

    Little victory last night. My God Dogs human spent the night here because he was playing a show in Toronto. He arrived really late and wei made tea with bourbon to kind of settle us both in to sleep mode. It was late though, and I was peckish (physical hunger or psychological I don't know).

    Managed to have ONE slice of my breakfast pumpernickel toasted, with jam. Just one, with my guest, like a sort of normal person. Oh if I could only live like that 😶

    Excellent NSV Laurie- especially considering the late hour and the bourbon tea!

    Picked up a cold this week and feeling kind of blah. I am about to take the dogs down to the lake for a walk and gave myself permission to stop and have a veggie burger (with fries for the pups) which would have no doubt led to a vanilla shake too ... but instead I am eating soup before I leave. I'm not 100% sure that this soup only plan is going to fly - but - so far it is a victory :)

    Pants still fit, jacket still zips up. Maybe a bit snugger this year but all is not lost. Looking forward to a looser future!
