I had a pretty bad week. Didn't get a ton of activity and went way over my weekly points. I decided not to go get weighed today. First, I left my book at home, then after thinking about it I decided that I don't need to. I know I didn't lose, and I might have gained, and I've been off track. I don't need a number on a scale to tell me that. So instead, I am going to get back on track and go back next week. I think that skipping every once in a while is fine, as long as you're not doing it solely to avoid thining about where you are or how you've been doing.
In other news, I have an awesome problem. My pants don't fit. Most of my long pants are too big, and it's starting to get warmer so I'm wearing a lot of my capris and pedal pushers, but I need at least a couple of pairs of long pants that fit. Especially since where I live, there are plenty of days even in the summer where it's a bit chilly. The problem is that I have not been able to find new jeans that fit, are comfortable, and are within what I want to pay. Part of the issues it that all of them seem to be so LONG. I don't get this... I am 5'7", which is 3 inches above the national average height... so why are all the pants several inches too long on me??? I am even long legged/short torsoed... it makes no sense. I'm going to try going back to Labels, a local consignment, to see if I can find any there.
That's about it for this week. Today or tomorrow I'm going to make a new menu plan and go shopping so I can start cooking delicious meals again because that always helps keep me on track. How was your week?

Great job getting back on track! No idea about the pants, though. As a fellow tall/long-legged lady, I usually find average pants are too short and long pants are too long. Annoying. I have noticed my pants being longer as my width gets smaller (though the next size down is still too tight/short. Argh!). At least hemming is easier than adding length! Hope you find something at Labels!
While I've been losing weight, I often buy clothes from a thrift shop and becasue I am SOOOO short, paying the $7 to have them shortened isn't a big deal if I only paid $5 for them in the first place.
Ugh, I gained weight!! Well, I think I lost a tiny bit, but I weighed myself for the first time in ages (we don't have a working scale here) and I weight like 15 lbs more than I thought!! D: EEEE!!
