1. The goal pants are still snug. Not surprising, really. I also tried on the goal shirt, and I can tell where I’ve lost my weight, recently: in the chest, and maybe a little bit in the arms. It’s fitting well through the torso but upper arms are still tight. Not as tight as before, though.

Stuff just shifts while you’re losing weight; it’s never consistent over the whole body. I’ve lost a band size and a cup size when it comes to bras: I started at a 42DD and am now at a 40D. The drop in cup size happened within the last 6 weeks or so, when I realized that the girls were rolling around in my bra cups like marbles in a couple of cans. Well, okay, not quite *that* drastic, but drastic enough. So, I know I’m losing weight: it’s just not from the waist down at the moment.

2. PUI: Posting Under the Influence. This is a pretty sure sign that I’m effectively low carbing… there’s something about low carb that makes you a cheap drunk. I’ve had 1.5 drinks of Baja Bob’s and a shot of tequila. I’m currently wastin’ away in Margaritaville, but I’m not PUI enough to have lost the salt shaker. 🙂  If you do low carb/low calorie and don’t know what Baja Bob’s is, you don’t know what you’re missing.

Because of this, I probably won’t make this a very long entry.

Other stuff: I’ve gotten back into walking around the block this week. My knees have done quite well since taking orthovisc injections, and to further the good news, I have a new brace on order, and it’ll likely be in next week. My goal between these two things is to be more mobile so I can walk my neighborhood more, be more active overall, and hopefully lose enough weight (I figure 30-4o more pounds) so I don’t need the brace at all. I barely need it now, except that sometimes my right knee shifts and becomes quite painful. So, I’m going to give this a try.

I started back to strength training this week, too. Just some light work on machines for now. I think it’s a step in a really good direction.

Until next week — Cheers!
