An Imperfect 10

I had another "first" today. First time I bought a pair of size 10 pants. They're stretchy and they're cheap, but by golly, they're a size 10. I suspect my "real" size is still somewhere between 12 and 14, but in this brand, in this style, size 10 was what worked. Considering that I started in a size 20-22, I'm a little bit pleased with any size that starts with a "1". :)

To celebrate this minor partial victory, I decided on a treat when I went to the grocery story: real strawberries! A whole pound of them and they're all mine. I would have also treated myself to fresh watermelon, but it was looking a bit mushy. At $4/pound, mushy watermelon will not do.

And so I have fresh strawberries waiting for me, post-cardio workout tonight. I'll drizzle a teaspoon of fat-free Hershey's syrup on my plate, and then dip 5 or 6 of the red beauties in the chocolate yumminess. Tomorrow morning I'll slice a few in my Banana Nut Fiber cereal, and later I'll be trying a new tofu-smoothie recipe a friend gave me. After that, I'll probably use them snack-ishly, one-by-one, until they're gone. Maybe I'll do something this week that will provoke another Healthy Indulgence.

Without jeopardizing my size 10, 12, or 14 figure, that is. :D

Wow! A size 10??? That is FANTASTIC!

Mmmm... strawberries! My favorite fruit! I like the idea of dipping them in 1 tsp. of Hershey's syrup. I'll have to try that!

You are doing great!

Please post the tofu smoothie recipe. I am dairy intolerant, so this sounds perfect for me.

Oh, Miss C, that's AMAZING!! That first number 10 is *such* a thrill to see in the dressing room, isn't it? Way to keep on rocking the healthy lifestyle - you definitely deserve every last one of those strawberries (of which I am TOTALLY jealous ;)

EXCELLENT - High 5!

Does tofu really taste good? I have always wondered?

I haven't liked it in other recipes, but I haven't tried the silken tofu. My grocery store was out of it yesterday, so I'm having to put off the magical smoothie recipe until later this week. I'll just have to suffer through another night of strawberries and chocolate. :)
