One pleasant side effect of all that healthy eating we’ve been trying to do for the past decade (cheese<\/strike>, except at parties!) as well as joining a gym 2 yrs ago is that I’ve lost all the Gus baby weight and then some. I weigh less than I have in 15 yrs at least, and I’m generally pretty happy about it.<\/p>\n
Except that now I really, really, really have to go clothes shopping. I mostly do not like any shopping, and I definitely HATE<\/b> clothes shopping. All that trying stuff on takes so much time and effort, and I’m not always good at picking things that flatter me. Jonathan is better at it than I am, but who has the time for us BOTH to go shopping at once? I wish I could buy things online but since sizes are always so variable it’s too risky.<\/p>\n
But my wardrobe is in painful need of some updating. For the past 5 (!) yrs I’ve only worked in an office 2 days\/week. But this semester I have three days of internship per week, and dammit, I’d like to be able to wear a different pair of pants for each of those days.<\/p>\n
So my New Year’s resolution is to stop buying unflattering clothing! And before the semester starts I will spend some time shopping for some grown-up clothes that fit and look nice. Would that we were flush with cash I would splurge on this incredibly fun skirt<\/a>, though it’s not really work-friendly. Friendly critters!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One pleasant side effect of all that healthy eating we’ve been trying to do for the past decade (cheese, except at parties!) as well as joining a gym 2 yrs ago is that I’ve lost all the Gus baby weight and then some.
