7.29 - Pants

 

shirt: F21, cardigan: Kohl's, pants: VS, shos: Kohl's, necklace: Sears

These are the pants that I haven't been able to wear recently.  I mean they still didn't fit the best but it was better than normal. These pants I wore easily pre-knee surgery and now the button and button hole aren't near each other without some effort.  At least with effort they finally got buttoned and I could sit in them without pain.  I still have more pants that do not fit. I need to buy new pants. I can't believe how so many pairs of my pants don't fit any more. The last time my pants didn't fit me and I had to buy new was in December 2002. There may have been other times in my life but I had looser clothes or just pants in many different sizes.  I can run further than I could back then. I just haven't been eating well or lifting weights or running as often as I want. Maybe one of these days I'll either fit into older pants or buy new ones.  I am disappointed that my red pants do not fit.  Two or three weeks ago I was about to order new VS pants and didn't. Maybe I should do that now.  So it probably isn't normal to put a picture of pants that don't fit or gut bulging over pants on my blog but nobody said I am normal.

This is probably why my pants don't fit.... chips with dip.

I went for a walk and then later did p90x ab ripper x. A few of those ab things were hard to do and I still couldn't get them right. So now I've done P90x yoga and ab ripper x. I still have a lot more to go to have done all of them.

Skirt: Express
Tank: Old Navy
Cardigan: Kohl's
Shoes: Kohl's

My fake tan is all messed up due to working out an sweating. It looks like I have sock lines. Almost makes the tan seem more real. The tan shows up darker in the pictures than it was in real life. Tanning is an art.

I wanted to wear my gray pants, but I put them on and they were too tight. So I wore my gray skirt.  I mean the pants would have fit if I didn't have to sit down. But they were uncomfortable sitting. Those pants were pants I owned pre-knee surgery time when I was at my heaviest. (Uh Oh)  But back then I was guttier than I am now. And back then I had a nonexistent butt. Just look at that side profile shot. I have quite the butt now. (I'm not saying that's bad. It is different. I think it is a reason pants are tighter now. At least my mom can't tell me my gut is as big as my butt.  She told me that once in 2006 when she was looking at a picture of me standing in line waiting to ride the Musik Express at Kennywood.)

After work I was going to dinner at Atria's and the Cabana Bar with an out of town NA-YGN member. He said to get some friends together. I tapped out all my resources and only got 1 friend to go to dinner and a different friend to go to the bar. Everyone was busy and I don't have many friends.  We were at the bar until 11:30. I can't believe how old I am.  The bar was nice. It had sand. There were different areas and different fire pits. It wasn't crowded. It wasn't loud.  I wore sandals to work because I knew about the sand. The last time I was there was 3+ years earlier so I didn't remember much about it besides the sand.  I was looking up directions on how to get there and realized it is right up the hill from the one plaza we always go to (Giant Eagle, Yum, Campesino's). Last time I was there all I knew was you turn left at a Sheetz.  I think it was a good time. Lots of talking.
