New Pants and a Kitchen Appliance

So I didn't buy new pants (even though I needed some, due to the store being sold out of my new smaller size) and I've been walking around for over a week now holding my pants up so they won't fall down, and I mean this literally (all my belts are still too small and I don't own a pair of suspenders hence the lack of modern technology to contain the problem). Today while I was laying around the house before work I decided to look and see if I could find a pair of pants that would fit. I didn't believe that I would have anything since I've given away almost everything I don't use since moving into a 400 square foot apartment. Well, I found one pair of khaki's at the very back of the closet...and so I tried them on. I was able to button and zip them up without sucking in or anything. I have officially gone down 6 sizes in clothes so far!!! I was a little disappointed with my weigh in this week since I didn't get one of my big numbers, but now I'm feeling a lot better. The pants are not the best cut for me. And while I fit in them with no problem, they are still a little small for me. They are wearable in public though. So they will do for now...and for the next 6 weeks!

My other excitement for the week is my latest purchase towards my maintenance. I bought a Cuisinart Griddler from a guy on Craigslist. It was like brand new and I got it for $80! This will be perfect for grilling veggies and meat while in my apartment (plus it makes a mean panini). Doesn't sound as exciting on paper as I am about this in real life, but this should be my new favorite kitchen toy once I start eating again.

Next is the new bathing suit. It may be happening this weekend with the momzer. One can only hope I don't have to try on too many to find a good one. Nothing like bathing suit shopping to make you feel self conscious.
