Woohoo!!

This may seem like a small accomplishment to some but to me it’s wonderful!!  I went to pick up a pair of shoes that I had ordered and thought I’d look at some capri pants since I was all alone.  That’s right, all alone, no kids and no husband.  That alone is reason to celebrate.  So, anyway, I was looking at some capri pants for our trip to Disney in a couple of weeks and thought, hmmm, just for kicks and giggles, I’ll try on a size 16.  I knew that they wouldn’t fit ’cause it wasn’t that long ago that I had bought the size 18 I was wearing at the time.  I just wanted to see how far I was from fitting in them.  SURPRISE!!  They fit!!!  So, OF COURSE, I had to buy them.  Then, I came home and tried on my size 16 jeans that I haven’t been able to wear in over 4 years.  I remember telling my husband to watch out ’cause I was about to get mad.  These jeans were made a little small for a 16 so there was NO WAY they were going to fit!  But, THEY DID!!!  WOOHOO!!!  Actually, they were too big in the legs…just right in the waiste.  Needless to say I am very excited.  And to think, just about 3 or 4 weeks ago, I was happy to be buying a size 18.  I’ve been in a 22 or 20 since my daughter was born 3 years ago and a 18 just before that.  Okay, enough!  I just had to get some of this excitement out before I burst.

Okay, to all my buddies:  Congrats on all your hard work!  Keep it up…the payoff is magnificent!  I’ll be out of town again this week.  I’m looking forward to my life getting back to normal and being home for more than a few days at a time.  My husband finishes his training in 2 more weeks and we are hoping to be moving to KY after that….maybe the end of June.  I’ll keep you posted.  KY is just a guess, but we are hoping!!

Alright, keep up the good work all!!  Love ya!

Jags, we may not have won this week, but we’re still doing great!!
