And on the 10th day the t-shirt fit.

In past years, there have been several times when the fun phrase "hey, let's get T-shirts!" has not really sounded like fun to me.  Here's why - when a size 2X is still tight it is no fun.  It just isn't. THIS year when the Vacation Bible School t-shirt size sign-up list came around, I decided to be brave.  I signed up for an XL.  That's right, only one little X.  Aaaaaand check me out.  NOT TIGHT.

GO ME.

In other news, I think the emotional bitterness about this whole journey is starting to pass - that was what made last week hard for me.  The emotional rituals and routines surrounding food.
This week my challenge is feeling more physical.  I am TIRED at the end of the day.  Now maybe this is because I've been jumping around with children doing crazy actions for 4 days.


But maybe it's because I no longer have sugar and sugar-like substances running through my veins.  I am actually using my body as it was intended to be used.  Hey, maybe I'm burning up fat.  Buh-BYE.

But guess what - I got 9 hours of sleep last night.  I haven't got 9 hours of sleep since...uh, 2010??!?!?!? This can be nothing but good.
'Cause nap time IS the new snack time, kids.  Get on board.
