Jeans...

I had a good jean day today - I tried on a pair of jeans that have been new and in my closet since when I was pregnant and I bought them on the clearance rack at American Eagle - I loved a pair I had and wanted another and found them for $19.99 so I had to buy them even though I wasn't fitting into them any time soon.

Well...now they fit! They fit great. Nice and comfortable and I love them. I usually come home from work and change right away into workout type pants (comfy pants) for the evening...well the past 2 nights I have been keeping my jeans on :) I just thought I'd share - because my stand by pair that I had been wearing were getting baggy in the butt and waist - so now they are GONE - bye bye I'd rather never wear them again :) I am back in my old jeans! I still have 2 more pairs in smaller sizes that I used to fit into...I'm saving them for a month or so from now when I can get rid of these :)

It is so exciting but this little thing has given me a crapola of motivation to keep kicking butt!

Sorry I just needed to share...I tried to share this with Jimmy and he just didn't get it... ;)

Another thing that just shocked me...I ate Halloween candy at work - I don't have any here at home and had done so good not eating any since I wasn't feeling good...well today at work I had a little too much idle time and ran into a coworker in the hall eating a mini twix...and then it went downhill. And I had some of a homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookie from a bakery at home that I bought for Jimmy - I twittered all of the food I ate - and just put a sweet potato in the oven and thought...woah I am so over in points. I just went and ran the twitter tool on Roni's site and saw that I am only at 21.5!!! I still have 4.5 points left to eat AFTER the sweet potato! So I guess I am getting back used to managing my points well after being sick. I will post my menu a little later once I have eaten all my points.

I usually go and weigh in tomorrow but my girlfriend needs me to watch her daughter in the morning so I am going to go on Saturday morning instead and hopefully stay for the meeting since Jimmy can watch Charley :)

We ARE leading parallel lives! Congrats on the "new" jeans. :) I still have one pair of jeans I'd like to fit into. Haven't tried them on yet b/c I don't want to torture myself. Ten lbs from now they should fit. Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work.

That is AWESOME about the jeans! I totally get it... smaller jeans that fit comfortably is maybe the most exciting and motivating thing ever!! You're kicking butt. AND still having points left even after a little slip up? Amazing. Keep it up!
