Curvy Jones on: Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away…
Yesterday was a good day. Despite the fact that I was sleepy all day, and then it rained HARD just as I was leaving the office, it was a really good day. Rain in the south is a phenomenon. I am used to northwest rain, where it kind of sprinkles. It’s light and fresh and you dance in it and you might bring an umbrella if you think about it. Here? Naw. The heavens DUMP. From the building to my car, I was out in it for about a minute… I was soaked to my bra. Seriously, it’s like being in the shower. Took me awhile to get used to rainy nights in Georgia.
So, I had a hair appointment last night. I went to see my fave hair person ever, Liz from JCJD Salon. She hooked me up with some relaxer (my hair snapped a comb in two pieces yesterday, that’s how rough it was) and I got my usual wash, rollerset, and blowout. I always leave the salon feeling beautiful. And someone just told me my hair was bouncy. LOVE.
I feel like I ate a lot yesterday but the scale didn’t show it. I even had BBQ sauce on my chicken at lunch, and some baked beans. And then I had some bbq potato chips. SHHHHH. Those aren’t lowcarb! I ended up not eating dinner until 10, because I got home and had to do my walk before I could eat. By then I was STARVING and so hungry I was shaking. I had chili and a baked potato. It was DELICIOUS. Bceause I ate so late and so…..carby…. I was determined to not weigh this morning because when I added up my calories I was somewhere in the 1500 range. But I’m sort of on automatic by this point and I got on anyway. Didn’t hurt a bit, according to the scale. YAY. Not going to tempt fate twice though. I am going out tonight with Sarah and MJoy and I am going to be good. I think.
OOH! And theeeennnn. A week or so ago I entered a contest to win a dress on my friend SkinnyEmmie’s blog from Fashion To Figure. Uh. I WON! The dress came yesterday and it’s GORGEOUS. I thought I was ordering a size that I’d have to shrink into. It’s a 1X, their smallest size, which according to their conversion chart is a US 14/16. Uhm…I don’t know about all of that because I am pretty sure if I go to a store and try on a dress I will be in an 18, but… IT FIT. I mean, I need suitable foundation garments because it’s a halter top and these girls do not go without support EVER and I also need to reign in the belly but it FIT and it doesn’t even cling! I can’t wait to wear it! I’ve wanted a maxi dress for forever. Damn my short stature, I am wearing what I want to wear. Exciting!
Found out yesterday that my boss AND the CFO will be out of town next week. It will be SO QUIET. I will be able to get SO MUCH done. Really looking forward to that. And having some time to maybe finish reading A Reliable Wife and start the other book I bought about being in the Witness Protection Program. Oh, and writing. But you know, I always make grand plans and end up doing nothing. Lemme shut up about what I’m gonna do………and just do it.
Ya know?

Emily´s last blog ..So why now?
I can’t believe the dress fits, and that it’s the smallest size…I’m gonna have to graduate to a store that sells smaller plus size clothes, lol.
There is no being good at Taco Mac! lolol!
You were shaking because your blood sugar is low. You shouldn’t go that long without eating. 1,500 cals is where you should be- that’s why you didn’t gain!
Sarah´s last blog ..
*hangs head* I knowwwww. I had some chips at 5, thinking that would stave off any OHMYGOD I WOULD EAT THIS STEERING WHEEL feelings. By the time I drove home and walked, I was about passing out. I don’t even remember chewing.
Normally, if I eat that much, that late, gain city. I was lucky, man! I won’t be TOO good……….
woo for fitting into smaller dress sizes!
and by get a lot done while the boss is out you mean write, yes? :)
Ya know, in theory yeah….but I never seem to get ideas unless it’d be a really bad idea if I busted out my story and started writing.
Don’t you love it when you are a size smaller than you THINK you are?! Oh Happy Day!
