i went home for a few days. home, being sewickley. where my mom and best friend live. best friend is going through some hard times. she's dealing with a mom who has ALS, and declining quickly. she is being moved into assisted living. i went to help her with her kids, and with helping her pack up her mom's things, and go thru things for goodwill. it was hard. sad visit on many levels. and i didn't want to leave, but i had to come home.
so....
i ordered a pair of jeans online from a site i had ordered from many times over the years...and they were backordered...it had been a while since i had ordered it - 2 months. they were a size 20 and showed up while i was gone. they're too big! i have to send them back!!!
AND i needed a coat, so i borrowed one from my mom. nice, london fog, soft black raincoat. SIZE 14!! and it FIT! too long for her, she's several inches shorter than me at 5'3", i'm 5'7".
ok, there's no way i'm a size 14. i'm not. i'm wearing an 18 now. i can prove it. i went and tried something on the other day with my mom. BUT i can wear her size 14 raincoat with no problem. just goes to show you that size varies from company to company.
who cares? i'll take it!

UNBELIEVABLE
haven't felt much like posting anything in a long time. it has been a hard road.
until today.
midday, decided to step on the scale. first time in a few weeks. usually i weigh myself once a week, in the morning first thing, after going to the bathroom, while naked. but today, i did it midday, after breakfast and lunch, with clothes on.
i have been doing strength/weight and resistance training at the gym along with cardio. as well, i've been moving along in my yoga at the yoga studio. love the yoga, hate the cardio, love the other training.
figured i wouldn't have lost much because i'm re-gaining muscle, since i'm working out.
well. i've lost 5 more lbs. and guess what? this is more important than the losing of 5 lbs.
my total weight loss to date is 102lbs.
i can't believe it!
i have a ways to go (50, maybe 55lbs) but i can't believe it!
no new pictures yet - sorry.
wait, here's one. that's trish, my best friend, on the left.
