Where are my belts?

I bought these pants a very tight size 16 in the middle of August as I was preparing to return to work at the end of maternity leave. And now it looks like I could use a belt!

Dress shopping

Yesterday I went back to Kohl's to find a dress for Lily's Christening. Grabbed about six dresses. Was able to zip into a 16 and a snug 14. Then tried on the dress I got in both a large and an XL. The large fit better in the arms and chest, but the XL fit better over my belly, and a girl has to be able to breathe, so I bought the XL. Was so tempted to force the Large, but it is not yet time, so I'm working to accept that. Here's where I am today. I will be at peace with my current size.

171 lbs

171. Thank goodness.  I was stuck. Just going up and down, up and down between 173, 174, 175 all month!  Sheesh.  Finally moving in the right direction again.

Put a ring on it

Back up to 174 from 173, but today is the first day I could get my rings on since I stopped wearing them while pregnant. Too snug to wear all day, but I'll take it. Cried happy tears.

Weigh-in

Weighed in this morning at 173.6 lbs. Not too shabby.  Starting to feel more like myself again. And my left wrist that has been hurting since Lily was born, is no longer hurting.  Wahoo!  Non-scale victory!
