Jeans

I have a horrible sinus headache this morning! At least I think it is sinus. Either way, it is not fun!

While we are visiting David's brother in Virginia... Bob is going to borrow his neighbor's motorcycle so that we can take a motorcycle ride through the Shenandoah Valley. (His brother already has a motorcycle, but he is borrowing one so that we will have two.) I am excited about it!! I love to take motorcycle rides with my David, especially when there is beautiful scenery to look at!

The only down side of this adventure is that I now have to pack a pair of jeans to wear for the ride!! Oh boy!! I dug out my jeans yesterday to see which pair that I wanted to take. Well... um..... my size 10 ones are too tight in the waist!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So.... I pulled out one of my size 12 pairs that I am glad that I didn't get rid of!!.. and tried them on. They fit in the waist, but are baggy in the legs -- which bothers me, but I have no choice but to deal with it. This depressed me, of course! 

When I gain weight... it goes straight to my stomach!! Well, it goes to my butt, too.... but is the most noticable in my stomach! It's not fun! I think "carbs" are what do it to me. I think they make me "bloated". Sooooooo...... I am going to "try" to limit my carb intake over the next WEEK AND A HALF (that's how long before vacation!) and see if that helps. I will try and eat more veggies and drink more water. 

David is on a "healthy eating" kick right now because he thinks he has gained weight. He hasn't!!! And if he has... you can't tell by looking at him!! His legs look like toothpicks! I can guarantee that he weighs less than I do!! Which REALLY makes me depressed! He might have a slight "belly", but overall he is at his exact weight for his height. I wish I was!!

When I get depressed, I don't want to do ANYTHING! I just want to sit and cry.... which doesn't help matters.

Today, I have plenty to do to hopefully take my mind off of all this depressing stuff! I will be doing laundry and cleaning my house. My friend, Georgia, is coming to visit tomorrow! YAY!

I have to do laundry for David because he is flying to Indianapolis to compete in a contest for work. He competed in an "online" competition and WON!!! The prize is that he gets to go and actually do the "physical" competition!!! If he wins, he'll win $1000!!! That money would really come in handy for many reasons! He flys out tomorrow and will be home on Friday.

  1. Sorry you had to try jeans back on, that is depressing. I have the opposite problem, I gain in my thighs, that is where my jeans are too tight.
    Just remember that jeans are always tight when you first put them on, they will stretch as you wear them.

  2. Yes. I know that they do stretch, but when you need them to "fit" when you put them on, you don't have time to weight while they "stretch out". That is why avoid washing my jeans as much as possible!! LOL!!
