kitanzi | A minor milestone

Diets are still boring to everyone who isn't on one - but I'll take my minor triumphs where I can get them, I guess!

I really don't feel like I'm getting anywhere very fast, especially with having a very hard time getting strictly back on diet after the trip to England, but I did get a bit of a boost the other day.

ladyat has lost quite a bit of weight herself, and passed on an assortment of jeans and pants that she had undergrown. I found this weekend that I can fit into all of them quite comfortably except for the very smallest, which will fit but pinches. Considering that's a size 14, and I started this whole diet when I literally burst a seam on a size 18, I am feeling rather pleased at the moment.

Guess I am a bit shallow on this, but my creeping weight - and volume! - is something I've been working on for months and concerned about for years. There are a lot of benefits in how healthy I feel as well, but I have to admit there's a certain satisfaction in zipping up those smaller jeans.

Speaking of that,, the endorsement you gave to taking a yoga class turned out to be quite true! I've been reading books on the subject, taking another class, and practicing on my own. And I love it. It is very calming -- yet invigorating, although it's tended to make me even more solitary than usual.

(The leap of logic there was that the aim of yoga is the unification of mind, body, and spirit. I haven't been known for my coherence lately. *grins*)
