A couple here...

...and a couple there!! I tried on a pair of jeans that haven't fit for probably 8 months.... a wee bit tight but they FIT.
What changed?
A lot less soda and keeping groceries at work. I buy a loaf of bread, lunch meat, cheese and snacks (sun chips and yogurt and/or some version of pudding, and sometimes oreo's... oops), and now iced tea also.
I'm not sure if Snapple iced tea is really that much better than soda, but we're going with it.
I have been REALLY bad about Starbucks. I blame the pumpkin spice latte, and to help negate that I've also stored a small thing if pumpkin pie spice creamer at work to make coffee there. It's not that it tastes like a pumpkin spice latte (it doesn't, but it IS very good) but it helps.
I think it also had to do with my minimal once a week KILLER riding workouts. Which have stopped recently, and have me concerned. I desperately need to get back into the habit of walking. I also wish Houston had more options for hiking, instead of shady back-alley trails running along somewhat shady neighborhoods that just scream "Someone was murdered here recently."
Or maybe I'm paranoid.
I have also been working upwards of 50 hours a week, and not taking lunch breaks (I have been eating, just working while eating).

P.S. I loved checking on this blog and seeing so many posts from Mashley! It was motivating and as soon as I finish blogging I have every intent of flopping on the ground for a few minutes in an "ab exercise" fashion.
