WOW -16.6 lbs for LIW

That's so cool - I lost another 1.6 from my anticipated 15 lbs for the round!!! I'm EXCITED!!! Although my stomach is feeling "isshy" since last night I'm excited on the inside. Don't know if the stomach thing is from running so hard this past week and now most of the stress is past or if it is from my daughter passing me what she's had for the past 4 days (100+ fever)?!?!?!?!

I have a closet full of 14 pants and wouldn't you know - NONE of them fit yet! ARRRRRGGGGGG!!! So, I had to go buy a pair of black slacks since I keep wearing the same two pair of pants to work and it doesn't look like the thigh weight is going to budge for a while and that is where the pants don't fit! So, I went on a pants hunt - and I don't believe in paying full price for the same thing you can get at one of the discount stores. So I found a brand new pair of Jones New York wide legged pants - the tag from the department store read $89 and I got those puppies for $15.99 +tax. Uhhhh WINNER!!! I did have to hem them, which I hate doing but it was necessary and they look fabulous! They too are a 14 - American sizing just kills me - oh, depending on the cut depends on whether I am buying a 14-16 and sometimes 18. My jeans from Old Navy are the Sweethearts style which is a fuller seat and thigh cut - size 16.

Anyway... 3 days of VLCD to follow then into protein phase...
