This...Is....Working!!! :)

I did not get to blog last night because I took my husband out on a surprise date, which was a ton of fun and something we don't do a lot. I mean just be with only each other. So anyways, that is why I didn't blog last night, but it works out ok because today I did something that gave me something to tell you guys!!!

This afternoon I was getting ready to drag my hubby out to walk with me and getting my workout clothes on, which I have noticed over the last week that they are bigger. I eyeballed a pair of size 14 jeans that have been given to me and I though "What the heck? Let's give it a shot!" I tried them on, and they fit me!!!!! I was so excited I ran out to show my mom and Cory and then I started second guessing myself...thinking it was some kind of a fluke or something, so I went and dug out a second pair of size 14, and they fit as well! Now I am nowhere near where I want to be, but this is a huge deal for me, you have to remember that there was a time, when I was at my heaviest that I was in a size 24! Even most recently, when I started my weight loss journey January 1st I was a solid size 18 and even some 20's. So a 14? I'll take it! I do have one pair of 15's that I can't get one which is weird but it must be the brand running different, plus they are low rise and I definitely have hips, and I have been told that I have a very round behind....so maybe that's why. Either way I will take it! I'm happy with it, and more than that it let's me know that what I am doing is working! It's so much more motivating when you have concrete proof that things are changing!

Now January 31st is the day that I need to weigh in, that is on Tuesday and I am thinking that I'm gonna be ok with the numbers because I am fitting into smaller jeans, but I refuse to get on the scale before then because I want to give myself the next 3 days to lose lose lose if that's what it wants to do (and it better be!) So Tuesday is the day and that's the day that I will also be measuring myself....so time will tell, but in the meantime I am going to keep trucking away at it, working hard, eating right, and keeping a good attitude!

Even if the scale doesn't say exactly what I want it too, my jeans are the proof that it's working anyways...it's not always about a number!!




Now hopefully the next ones I post will be even better...still have a long way to go but I'm off to one hell of a start! I wish I had taken photos before I started at all!!!!! :)
