Summer

Summer has come and gone. I did do Weight Watchers for a few weeks and actually lost 13 pounds. Since quitting, again, I don't know if I lost any more weight because I threw my scale away. I do know that the size 20w long dress shorts that I bought to wear to a new job in June are now too big. I can pull them down without unbuttoning or unzipping. I wore them for the last time on Halloween day. I am going to keep them so I can try them on in the spring to see if they are bigger yet (or not!) I went through my closet looking for pants that fit and found some that actually did. The one pair of jeans that fit are size 18. I also have some velour stretchy pants that feel better this cold season that last (hopefully my memory serves correctly). Over the summer I coached a girl's softball team and played slowpitch as well. I have been walking and lately (as in the last week) I found a workout video through Netflix that has ten minute segments-which advocates accomplishing them every other day. I like it because I can do them in small doses and I'm not supposed to do all of them every day! My problem when I would start this process- over and over and over- is that at the beginning I would sprint and at the end I would quit participating because I'm not a sprinter.  I'm an endurance runner and right now I've just started the marathon.
