thirty thirty-two
that's my jeans size. :D i bought new jeans yesterday. i went with the intention of buying comfy jeans and ended up with tight ones. ha ha. i tried on 32/32 and they were a bit loose and were rippling when i sat down. so i tried on 30/32 and even though i have a muffin top, they fit me well and they will loosen up a bit so they should be all good. the sales assistants also said they looked ok so hopefully i don't look like i'm wearing jeans that belong to my little sister (i don't have a little sister, it's just a figure of speech).
it was weigh in day today and i'm 65 kg. this is not great, i know, but the number was higher the whole week so i'm relieved i'm let off with 65. there are a few reasons why i'm gaining. i'm not going to use them as excuses, i know i need to do something about them and realising what they are is the first step.
first, i've started taking medicines for my back and you have to eat them with food. that means i have to eat later than i normally would and/or having an extra meal.
second, my dosage of risperidone has been increased. one of the big side effects is weight gain. it is because of risperidone's 'cousin', olanzapine, that i am fat in the first place (obviously, it is because of me eating shitloads of shit, but it was triggered by the meds).
third, both of these meds cause constipation. i'm normally constipated anyway but the combination of the two is making it really bad.
so what to do? there's nothing i can do about the meds, but the good news is i need to take the back ones for another week only. after that i can finish eating early. i'm going to do some exercise. today, brace yourselves, i'm going to the gym. mark's not working today so he can take me and he can pick me up so no horrible showers and no kerfuffle getting there and back. i've also been thinking about getting playstation and a dancing mat? it looks cool (not cool as in cool but cool as in good) and it doesn't take much space. that's one of my big problems - no space to exercise at home. i'll have to have a look at ebay for cheap playstation. and, i need to start drinking much more water. some days, i only drink a few sips of water with the meds and a glass of orange juice. so that's going to be changed.
next week will note a loss. because, i can't do with a muffin top in my new jeans ;)

Congrats on the new jeans! And good luck with getting to the gym too...
Your thought about the water is a really good one, and might help with the constipation too. I know my Dad suffers from it, and he hardly drinks anything either. So get chugging!
