Small victories

This week, I fit into size 8 jeans! It's been a long time. 
On that note, it surprises me how varied clothes sizing is. I know that old navy has several different jeans styles and where I may be a size 8 in the sweetheart style, I will be a 12 in the diva style, just for example. 

I was browsing Instagram for fitness inspiration and I came across a woman who was getting in shape after a baby. She said at 280 pounds she was a size Large in maternity pants. When I topped out at 205 pounds while pregnant, I was a size large. How could someone EIGHTY pounds bigger than me wear the same size? And she said at 205 pounds before getting pregnant, she was a 14/16 pants size. I was that size at 170! I know I shouldn't care about sizes, just how fit I am, but it does confuse me when there I such a huge discrepancy. 
I wonder if plus size stores have different sizing? Very interesting. 
Today was a bad day at the gym. I did turbo kick, as it is turbo Tuesday, but I just couldn't get any energy to really work it. The baby still wakes multiple times a night and while I'm used to it and just get through it, there are days at the gym where I'm so exhausted I feel like passing out. Today was one of those days unfortunately. 
But as I tell myself repeatedly, it will get better! I just have to survive it! And thank goodness both kids nap at the same time (usually) so most days I can sneak in a nap too :)
