It’s Friday, and you know what that means: time to pull out the capris and see how they’re fitting.  And today?  They fit better than last week.  I can stand up and button them as well as zip them, and they feel a slight bit looser through the crotch and seat area.

Although I don’t have a try-on top, and probably won’t, I am happy to report that I tried on a top I bought at the beginning of the plan, and it fits much better.  I bought two identical tops; one of them, I had to snip the sleeves because they were too tight through the upper biceps so I could wear it.  The other, I didn’t snip because it hasn’t been warm enough to wear it.  I decided to try it on, yesterday, and the sleeves fit much better; the ones I snipped on the other top were so constricting that it felt like I wouldn’t be able to get out of the top unless I snipped the sleeves. I also wore some crops yesterday that were previously a bit too snug for public display.

I’m feeling much better than I was last week (and early this week).  Water weight has dropped significantly.  That makes everything feel better, including my knees.  My attitude is back to being optimistic.
