Ups and Downs

Throughout the holiday's I have managed to keep by weight pretty stable at 40lbs lost. The odd things is that once I started running I lost another five pounds but then the activities of the holidays contrived to keep me from working out as I had been so I quickly put the five pounds back on once I stopped running. Well, plus I ate like there was no tomorrow. Oh the pies and cakes plus ice cream. But anyway I only regained that extra five pounds lost. No big deal right. Wrong! It seems that while my waist is the last place I lose weight it is the first place I pack it back on to. Great. Now my new pants are all tight and my tummy is pooching over my pants in an uncute way. And yet I weigh the same as when I bought the dang things. Alas, I will have to deal with tight pants for a while now. At least I am back to working out and running again. How quickly we lose that momentum though I can only run ten minutes at a time when I was up to 20 before. Curses. Big lesson learned here though. No more binges. The last thing I want is to be one of those woman with skinny legs and a big tummy.
