Whoops....

Yesterday, it dropped to 59 degrees while my husband and i were out hunting (laugh all you want, yankees! This Texan doesn't do well below 75!)

So we get home and of course i feel like the tin man-i have lateral distoid meniscus in both knees, so i overcompensate when they hurt. That causes my hips and ankles to ache. Vicious cycle and all. I run my aching hands under hot water and tell Husband, "I should not have worn shorts once the temperature dipped." He agreed, and we went out to close the chicken coop.

Once dinner (low carb tortilla with beans and cheese....dont judge. I had no clean dishes....) was over, i decided to see if i had any jeans i could wear to hunt in. (That i dont mind getting mud, fur, grass stains, or innards on....basically any jeans that werent a gift someone paid $50 or more for.)

I laughed when Husband handed me a 3. "Honey, those havent fit since i weighed 80lbs. I keep forgetting to bring them to the girls." A 5. Tried. Wont button. 7. Wont button. 9. Wont button.

SWEAT PANTS. Not a muffin top! A BAKERY! When did THAT happen?

Yrs, i know those are juniors. I am 4'8" and built pretty much exactly like my teenage self, minus the anorexia.

Husband says, "You havent gained weight, thats how skinny jeans are supposed to fit!"

"These are boot cut. Not skinny jeans. Thank you for playing Cheer Up Wifey FAIL."

He rolls his eyes-which are obviously in need of glasses, and asks if i want some cookies. He wants cookies.

So, turns out making truffles and homemade bread and from scratch powdered donuts coupled with not working out has not been good to me. Lest i freeze to death, this has got to change. I have picked a pair of jeans, and i will not have a cheat day until they fit comfortably (notice "comfortably". I dont call "suck it in and crisco your hips" comfortable).

Now, to find my body fat calipers and dust off my weight belt. Time for the only gooey thing in this house to be a protein powder lava cake (and my pitbull....but shes not gooey....shes just rotten.)

Sounds like a good plan. Shame about the bread truffles and the like though

Baby, it happens. Pick yourself up and do what you have to do...even if you fall off the wagon, keep getting up.
