Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Friday 10/5
TGIF!
Got my wedding ring resized AGAIN. Hopefully this will be the last time. It's actually my second wedding ring; lost the first one a few months after surgery. Got this one as a celebration when I hit goal...37 lbs ago. It has now been sized twice.
I was so excited yesterday shopping for my trip next week. I work in the office of a plant. My work attire is jeans and steel toes. I rarely (for rarely read never) have occasion to really dress nicely. It was amazing to go into department stores and not only be able to wear all the cute styles but to fit in smalls in a lot of styles. Largest item I bought was a medium. Felt so NORMAL.
Today's weight: 138.4
Hubs and I are going to try a very mellow hike tomorrow: no mountains need apply. Going to Antietam Battlefield to walk the trails there. Should be relaxing.
Happy weekend to ya!

169.2 - whew out of the 170's again!
Busy workout week feeling good but more fatigued than usual probably due to seasonal allergies and insufficient sleep. Rest day on Saturday - yay! Just don't want to burn out!
I hope to be sending my rings for re-size as well, they have needed it for awhile but I have been waiting for goal as to hopefully only need to do it once.

My rings still have tape wrapped around them.. bought a travel band for our summer trip since we were going to be swimming a lot, and wear that mostly, tungsten with abalone inlay, kinda cute.
My set when I got married at 175ish was a sz 5.5, then my finger got fat again (along with the rest of me) around it- left a nice dent, and some days would not even come off come soap or high water.. now without a wad of tape it falls off. I need to get it sized, just stalling.

Aren't frame differences an odd thing?
I am now at 138.4 and my ring fingers are 7.5 on my right hand and just under 8 on my left (I'm a lefty). I love that I can get my ring sized locally by a jewelry store so I can have my exact size which they call 7.75.
We got this wedding ring when I hit goal so I was 175 and it was an 8.5 and a little tight. 3 ring sizes difference from what you wore at the same weight.

I never really knew what my bone/frame size was when I was heavier. My ring finger is prob about a 4.75 now, as 5's can slip around too easy.. but may do a 5 to go over the knuckle, so sizing balls may be needed.
I really always thought I was built a bit bigger.. but as I shrunk I realized I really wasn't at all. I feel tiny at times, since I'm not used to seeing my real chest cage size or shoulder spread without the addl inches of padding around them. Bird-boned was more like it, ha!
