There's are a set of doors at the mall here that are so heavy too! And I always forget and go to open it like a normal door would and then I awkwardly have to fumble with it because it's so damn heavy.
Back at work today. Thought I might be getting the stomach bug this morning, but whatever it was passed. I still don't feel 100% but I canmt quite pinpoint why I feel off. The only noticeable thing I have is an occasional cough and my voice sounds deeper than normal. So something must be going on with my throat.
I finally found tall boots that fit my ginormous calves so today I am at work wearing my workout leggings, boots, and a tunic. I feel like I'm in pajamas and it is making this day so much better.
I have a solid 10 hours worth of work to finish today and I have a meeting I can't miss tonight. Time to kick up the speed a bit.
I ripped a pair of jeans putting them on this morning. I should probably lay off all the home cooked meals my Stepmom is making and go on a walk!
On the plus side - I'm planning a solo trip to Philly to check out the Mutter Museum. It's something stbxh would never do, so I'm over here patting my independent self on the back and booking a hotel.

I had a really anticlimactic compliment today that I enjoyed. I was using the local archives and an older employee was helping me. Afterward I thanked him for his help and he wished me luck with my project. Then he started to walk away, but stopped and said, "In my 20 years at this job I've never said this to a patron until today...." My mind raced with all the lovely compliment options he could bestow upon me that he had not deemed *anyone* worthy of hearing in 20 years! I waited excitedly to hear as he smiled, blushed a little, and said, "You smell wonderful!" LOL. It was sweet. And if you're curious, I was wearing Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh.
Today was a beautiful freebie day at work. All I did was play in the archives and I loved it. It's supposed to snow tonight/tomorrow, so my boss told me take stuff home so I could work from home tomorrow. If I do work from home, it will be my first time ever. I feel so adult-like saying I'm "working from home" today, lol.

If it makes you feel better, I put on my "fat jeans" the other day, and I had to wiggle into them. AND I HAVE BEEN DIETING!
Dieting, is stupid. Budgeting-also stupid.
Many years ago (probably 16 or so) I managed to lose like 30 lbs. I got rid of all my "fat" clothes, except for a few to remind me of my promise to never let me get myself get that heavy again. Of course, it's not like I did it through diet or exercise, it just came off when I stopped getting Depo shots. So, here we are now. Back in my fat clothes. And they're getting snug, but I refuse to buy a bigger size. Maybe if they're uncomfortable that will inspire me to get off my ass. On Halloween a year ago (so, 2014) a group of friends and I went to see Rocky Horror Picture Show. There were so many cute outfits there that I would have looked ridiculous in, so I challenged myself to lose enough weight so I could dress in one of those cute outfits. I needed to lose about 30 lbs, and had a year to do it, so it was totally doable. Fast forward to this Halloween, and I had lost not a pound, in fact, I'd probably gained a few.
