Just so confused...

So last night I weighed myself before bed and it was back up a lot!  So I was sure I was going to be up on the scale this morning.  Nope!  Down .2 pounds from Wednesdays weigh-in.  I don't get why I'm so up and down!  I mean, I'm happy that I was down this morning, and at this point I'll take ANY loss on the scale this week.  But it's an emotional roller coaster to have the numbers jump all over the place!  And the rational person would say, "easy fix - don't weigh twice a day!"  And the rational part of me knows that, but the irrational part wins out.

I did have some pretty cool success today.  When I went to walmart this weekend to buy jeans, I had to buy size 20's, same size as the pair I was wearing.  But the pair I was wearing was too big, but the 18's at Walmart were slightly too small.  So today I measures the waistband of my old jeans and the waistband of the new jeans.  The new jeans are almost 2" smaller in the waist!  So that prompted me to take my measurements, since it's been about a month.  My bust stayed the same (though not sure how since the cups feel big now), my waist was down .5", and my hips were down a full inch!  Finally some progress outside of the number on the scale!  It may not be much, but it's something!

Louie said he thought most of the weight I've lost so far is most noticeable in my butt.  LOL  I guess it kind of makes sense, though, with the running.  That works out mostly thighs, legs, and butt.  Guess I need to do something up too too!  Some women from my pregnancy group are doing a 30-day ab, glute, and leg workout. Maybe I'll try that and see how I do.  I really should start lifting weights too.  My arms need help.
