It Begins
I cannot fit into most of my pants.
This makes me angry. I just bought some really cute gray pinstripe pants that are going to be really cute with a pink shirt and a white shrug. And I cannot get them up over my thighs. Bitches.
Kevin went to the doctor, and was aghast at how much he weighed. Really, the cold weather is a terrible time for me. I like to sit in the house and eat. I like to eat a lot. Also, I've been on this huge 'cooking is stupid' spree, so we've been eating out far too often and I've been far too lax in my food choices.
I did buy a Weight Watchers cookbook yesterday. I'm actually pretty excited about a lot of these recipes. They look delicious. I think part of my cooking is stupid thing has been that I've been using the same cookbook for eight years. So this has New and Interesting Recipes. Unfortunately, I don't have most of the ingredients I need. I got used to buying for the Betty Crocker one. Now, I'm going to have to re-learn how to shop for groceries to handle this new recipe book. I had to google a ridiculous amount of vegetables last night to find out what they were. On the up-side, the foods are all low point-value, and look amazingly tasty. It's even got a huge section devoted entirely to vegetable-, grain-, and potato-related side dishes! So that's exciting.
Another thing we're doing is going To The Gym this afternoon. The University upgraded their gym out here, and Kevin says it's a really nice facility now. And as a staff member, I can sign up for $10/month deducted straight from my paycheck! Which is a helluva deal for a gym membership. So we're going to be doing cycling tonight. I am okay with this. I don't mind the stationary bike at all. It is not a Giant Stupid Hill. *lol*
And hopefully I can fit back into my pants. 'Cause I have some damn cute outfits and by god I'm gonna wear them this spring!
