Two Things

I went to the store the other day in hopes of finding a mustard-colored cardigan. Apparently I am in the wrong season, but I thought I'd try. I went into a store where I have been before looking for jeans (when I was squeezing in the 16's and needed bigger pants). When I walked in, the sales lady looked at me funny and asked if she could help me. I said I was looking for a mustard-colored cardigan. She said they didn't have any and then kindly told me that they specialized in plus-size clothes. Pretty much saying, "Look lady, you're too skinny to shop here." It was AWESOME!!!
This morning I went running with my friends. I'm doing really well in my training and am slowly adding more running and less walking. I am up to my eyeballs in laundry so I grabbed an old t-shirt and what I thought were pretty tight-fitting yoga pants and figured I'd be fine running in those. Let's just say the biggest challenge of my run today was not that I was tired or I was running out of breath, but it was the struggle to keep my pants from falling off of me. I was literally holding my pants up while running. Not ideal, but AWESOME!
I'm still trying to maintain my weight, but let's just see if I can hit 30 pounds tomorrow!
