Day 25... I Think?! & NSVs!

So, some really interesting things happened today.

First of all,  I got up early to head off to AquaZumba. I was in a bit of a stupor because I slept really horribly last night. I grabbed the wrong swim coverup and I was in my bathroom getting ready and went to put it on. Realized it was the wrong one... it is one that I bought for Hawaii, but when we went to Hawaii and I was trying everything on before the trip, Ian and I both decided it was too tight on me and didn't look good. It was really tight around my hips & lower tummy. It had been tight when I bought it but it was months before Hawaii and I thought it might fit, well it never did. However..... today, it did! And I still weigh 7-8 lbs above what I weighed in Hawaii. My shape must be changing a lot more this time!

I went off to AquaZumba in my correct coverup (mainly for its pockets lol) and met up with my friend April for the class. Unfortunately we had a sub and the sub wasn't trained in Zumba, so it was just a regular water aerobics class. We tried to be positive and just enjoy it but one main problem I had with it was that it was not very tough cardiovascularly... had some good strength training in it, but this was supposed to be a cardio day for me. The other thing was she kept making snide comments about her class being better than AquaZumba... get over yourself! Not true! LOL.

However one awesome thing came out of it. She had us do push ups on the edge of the pool... and I did really well at them. This led me to wonder if I could do regular, real pushups. I have NEVER been able to do pushups... I've always had to modify and be on my knees or stand at an angle against something or whatever it may be. I got home and tried it. I did 5 pushups!!!!!!!!! I think I could have done more but I was tired from the class lol. I was just so thrilled I can do REAL honest pushups!!!!!

Then I got to thinking, if that swim coverup fits, maybe my size 14 jeans fit again??? I went to my closet, slid them on and effortlessly buttoned and zipped them. They are actually a tiny bit loose. They fit pretty much how they did before... again, several pounds heaver but apparently leaner!

I still dont' LIKE these jeans that much because they are too low-cut for me and my tummy hangs over which actually makes me look & feel bigger instead of smaller. But, I will deal. The important thing is they fit again!!

I snuck a peek at the scale this morning and was actually up a pound, not sure why... but all these NSV's made me absolutely not care one tiny bit!!!!! :) :)

Ian and I went grocery shopping today also and we are all stocked up with good stuff and some recipes for the week.

Then we went out to buy him some new pants since he starts his new job this coming Monday. Its business casual and at his last job he was able to wear jeans. We found a great pair at one mall store and on clearance for dirt cheap... but just one pair. We found out another store had one 45 mins away so we went down there and snagged them! But then it was super bad traffic time so we just hung out at that mall, had some early dinner, walked allllll around the mall shopping & shopping. We took off to REI also because we were looking for some bags for our trip but we didn't find anything.

When we got home, my FitBit gave me over 400 more calories to eat from walking all over the place!! I did my best and had a big PB&J sandwich. That got me pretty darn close :)

Back to Curves tomorrow morning! Gonna keep building these awesome muscles that are making me stronger and slimmer :)
