What's that you say? Why am I so happy and dancing like a fool? Well...I stepped on the scale today. Usually doing so doesn't elicit anything other than a sad shake of the head and a small pep talk BUT today it was all happy dance for the scale read 342. Do you see that number? For those that are counting, that's a loss of 36 lbs! Take a moment and happy dance with me!!
That felt good right? Added bonus...celebratory dancing counts as cardio, ya know.
I'm also jazzed by the fact that today I'm able to wear a sweatshirt that I have never been able to wear. A couple of years ago I bought this kick-ass sweatshirt. I had wanted to buy it in my size but the store didn't have any available (in truth I don't think they carry them at all but what else is new?!). The lack of availability didn't stop me tho. I bought the next size and set it with the others.
What others you ask?
Oh come on! I can't be the only person that buys clothes that they want to fit into...ya know "GOAL CLOTHES". Hmmm maybe I am the only one that does it. My husband certainly thinks so & questions it at least once a year.
Anywho, after stepping on the scale I dared to go into my closet. Losing weight is one thing, but being able to fit into clothes that you have never been able to fit into before...well that just feels awesome. Typically I wear a pair of jeans and a dark grey shirt, but I have so many cute girly clothes that I want to wear. This is going to be the year that I get to take the tags off the clothes and wear them!!
Very Cool!! I tried to give a jacket away that I really really liked but the person said it didn't fit her, so I kept it. Anyway, I was going to try to give it to someone else, but decided to just see how much I would have to lose to fit into it..cause I really really like it!! Well!!! it fit!!! and it fit nice!! I was so happy I totally was happy dancing all day...and since then too! I am so glad it didn't fit that other girl...cause....did I say I really really like this jacket? I do! :-)
