Operation *Jiggly Bits* Week 3

Hellooo Easter candy! Not only do I have it at home, but everyone brought it into work too! Ahhh!!! It calls out my name every time I walk through the kitchen. I suck at willpower, and honestly can't tell you how many piece I've eaten each day. That may or may not have to do with the fact that I can't keep count on my fingers. The more I eat, the sooner it's gone, right?

I went on one run this week, and despite still being a little stuffed up from my cold it felt good. I also went on an hour walk, and spent 4 hours pulling weeds, which I must say is an ah-mazing leg workout!

Weight: 118lbs
Waist: 25 in.
Hips: 32.5 in.

I lost 1/2 and inch off my hips! Woohoo!!! Buh-bye love handles.

***Warning******Rant ahead***
So I want to vent for a minute and what better place then here since you can just click off the page if you don't want to read it :-)

I am really annoyed at stores and their sizing. I understand they want to make their customers feel good about themselves, but come on, making your clothes bigger and attaching a smaller size is not cool! Seriously. I have been a size 2 for most of my life (minus a few years when I gained 30 lbs, but that's another story) therefore, I can still wear pants from my early college years. So I know that I haven't changed, so it must be the clothes. I tried on a few pairs of pants/shorts/capris this weekend in my normal size and they were too big! Is a number that important to women that stores adjust their sizing? And what about the smaller woman? What are they suppose to wear? Juniors? I admit that I wear juniors occasionally, but they don't have work clothes. They have fun, trending items, but if you need something professional, what then?

Sorry, I just had to get that out. Has anyone else noticed this?

I'm a size 2 too, but I do find it depends on where you're shopping... but it would definitely be nice to have "universal" sizing... where we could just grab something and know it was gonna fit. lol!!
