I am on a workout high. Drinking recovery shake, about to have a light dinner, in a good mood.
Not much else to say other than, I rule. My triceps are getting pretty kickass and I am about to level up to a heavier set of hand weights. I can do about a hundred pushups at a time—half of 'em divebombers—without having to take breather to pass out or throw up...and I did this latest workout while on a break from getting Real Live Grownup Work done.
So, yeah, I rule.
Ah, Autumn. It is always my best time of year.

When you are losing weight there are a lot of ways to measure success, to track it. And there are a lot of things to look forward to.
I don't usually wear expensive clothing; I tend to be hard on my things and spending 300 dollars on a blouse seems ridiculous if I am just going to wear it twice, have it dry cleaned a year later only to find that they couldn't get out the blood stain I don't remember getting on it.
So I splurge in other ways.
I like corsets and lingerie and garter belts and hosiery. For those of us over a size ten, there are only about three places that are of any use for this: I favor Hips and Curves.
I was over there browsing, because Halloween is coming up and because I found the other day that I have lost too many inches to wear any of my corsets anymore...it was a sad and awesome moment at the same time.
I want this corset so bad I can taste it. I know exactly how I would wear it. I can tell I would look awesome in it. I know I would feel awesome in it, which is the real reason to wear sexy underclothes. And then I took my measurements to figure out which size I would order if I had 160 bucks to blow on lingerie and I realized that I would order a 32.
Now, it is beyond foolish to order a pricy something like this when you are losing weight because it is likely, and it is the hope, that you will lose more weight and it won't fit anymore. But it is not the most expensive corset I have seen and you can bet I have my eye on a corsetière who will be getting a call the second my final weight has been maintained for a couple months. Knowing that my custom fit is going to cost about five hundred bucks makes one that is under 200...well, it puts things in perspective. Maybe my Christmas list is something other than just exercise equipment afterall. Lingerie and exercise equipment. And new pants. I think it's pretty clear what I have been up to.
That's a finished size of 32. So after lacing, my waist would measure a 32. Let's take bets on whether or not that's going to be a 30 in about two or three weeks.
If that isn't reason enough to go workout in triumph, I don't know what is.
