It's late Sunday night and I started a ridiculous job - getting all of the laundry done for my entire family. Right now I am waiting patiently for the dryer to buzz so I can switch loads and crawl up to bed. But before I call it a night I thought I would blog for a minute about my latest benchmark for me on this weight-loss adventure.
First, I had gained so much weight before that my "big" clothes didn't fit anymore. I started losing weight and the clothes started fitting again. I have been patiently waiting for the clothes to actually be too big and/or be able to wear a size smaller. Well, over the weekend I took a daring trip to Kohl's and Ross and bought a pair of size 14 work pants as well as a pair of size 14 jeans that are actually a little big in the waist but they didn't have a 12 and they fit ok everywhere else. Holy moly! I actually had fun shopping. I honestly can't remember the last time I went shopping and didn't feel like crying when I carried my mountain of clothes in with me only to give the girl at the counter everything back when nothing at all looked good.
And on Friday this week, my husband actually laughed at me (in a good way) when I was putting the kids to bed and my pants started falling down. It's weird, too, because I feel smaller in my clothes. I am definitely liking this.
I am on my way to my next benchmark of losing 20 lbs. As of this morning, I weighed in at 178.8 which I would consider 179 so I am at 17 lbs down total and I can't wait to hit 20 :).
