I'm wearing pre-pregnancy jeans today.  It's a pair that ran a little bigger than some of my others and I wouldn't wear them with a more form fitting shirt or anything since there's still a little bit of a bulge.  Actually, I wouldn't be wearing a form fitting shirt just yet anyway.  But they're on.  And God bless Old Navy for their vanity sizing since these jeans are really a size smaller than what I truly am. 

And I finally put my engagement ring back on.  I took it off when my fingers started expanding during the pregnancy, but left my wedding band, because the wedding band was replaceable if it ever needed to be cut off or anything.  The engagement ring is one of a kind, though. 

With this redistribution of the weight, though, I know where the weight is, i.e., my middle.  I just can't quite figure out where the weight is not anymore.  To not fit into my pants at the same weight when I could fit into them, I must have less somewhere else in my body, but I can't figure it out at all.  Plus my boobs are still bigger than they used to be so that's even more redistribution of the weight.  It's a mystery.

I know, I KNOW!!! It's so weird that you can weigh the exact same amount you did pre-pregnancy, and yet NONE of your old clothes fit. I guess our hips widen permanently when we go through the trauma of birth. So I am aiming for 15 lbs lighter than before I got pregnant. I do NOT want to have to buy all new clothes. Or I guess I should say, I would LOVE to buy all new clothes, I just can't afford it!!

I was pretty much living in a very limited wardrobe, but last semester I was doing a professional internship so I had to suck it up and buy some clothes in a size up. I like what I bought so I'm kind of sad that they're getting a bit huge on me now. I wanted to aim for maybe 10 lbs lighter anyway since I wasn't entirely happy with where I was before the pregnancy. If I actually had time to work out, I think I could pull it off fairly quickly, but I don't so slow and steady...
