It is so hard to find professional interview apparel at my size! I have an interview on Monday afternoon at a really professional state agency. I normally wear slacks or a dress with a nice cardigan to interviews. This upcoming interview, however, I would prefer to wear a suit or at least a blazer. I went to Kohl's last night to try to find a blazer or at least slacks and nothing fit me! I know I'm a big girl. I'm close to 300 pounds. I understand that's pretty damn big, but it's not like I'm close to 400 pounds! In order to fit into this selection of plus size clothes, I'd have to be about 150 pounds. Back when I weighed that little, I didn't need to buy plus size clothes. Honestly, it is hard to job hunt at this weight because I feel that people are judging my clothes and my appearance. I'm working on losing weight, but there's nothing I can do if nice professional clothes don't fit me at where I am today. I ordered a couple of khaki pants in black and beige from oldnavy.com. I'd rather order slacks, as they look nicer and more professional, but again, I'm struggling to find clothes in my size.

Yesterday
Yesterday was a very good day exercise-wise. My sister is living back at home with my dad, so she lives about a mile away right now. She got home from work before my dad did, so she came over to my house to hang out to kill time. She had 2 hours to kill, so we decided to walk to the park with my kids. We took a wrong turn, so we had to circle around the block. On the bright side, though, we ended up walking about 3 miles in total.
She wanted to go do Zumba afterwards. I planned on staying home as the hubby was still working. My dad has been pitching in a lot lately with the kids, which I really appreciate. I wanted to give him a break, so I was going to make dinner and stay home with the kids. My dad wanted me to work out, so he offered to take the kids. I had a banana and almonds to tie me over, as I hadn't eaten since 11:00 that morning. My dad made the kids dinner.
My sister and I did an hour of Zumba and then swam and sat in the hot tub for a little bit. I hadn't been to the gym and worked out that much since she moved about 6 months ago, so I was pretty rusty at Zumba. I noticed that I was able to put in more effort than I used to be able to do. I tried to keep up with jumping and the steps, though I'm not as graceful as I had been when I was doing it more regularly. My swimming isn't as strong as it used to be, but I'm able to do the same amount of laps.
When we got back to my dad's house, it was almost the kids' bedtime. I ate one of the "fajitas" he made for dinner. He sautes chicken, bell pepper, and a lot of pineapple in a thick, sweet teriyaki sauce and wraps it in a burrito shell. When I got home, I had some more almonds and dried fruit.
The day before, I did an hour of Yogalates. I'm trying to keep this streak going. Though today was a pretty lean day for exercise. I slept in, but I ate right and did some housework. Let's face it, sometimes you need to pamper yourself and sleep in. Tomorrow, I'm going to be majorly cleaning the house, as we have a Girl Scout meeting here. I hope to get in some other form of exercise, as well, though I will be on my feet and moving all day.
Thanks for reading!
