I'm a happy girl! :)
Wow, today was an amazing day.
First, today was my weigh-in day and after a slow-loss week the week before, I dropped 5.4 lbs this week, which brought my totals to 28.7lbs lost since surgery (I'm 5 weeks out) and 70.2 lbs lost since May of this year! I'm only 13 lbs away from being out of the 300's! I'm so amazed to think about how far I've come already and how far I still have to go!
To celebrate 70lbs lost, and in order to have something to wear that actually fits, I went to Lane Bryant today to get one pair of pants, a top, and a new bra. I thought today was the start of their 50% off everything sale and they just upped my credit limit on my LB card, so I thought what better time than now? LOL The sale doesn't start till tomorrow (11/23), but I still picked out what I wanted while I was there and had them put it on hold til tomorrow. Anyway, point of my story was I went in knowing that my size 28's are getting very loose on me and thinking I could probably fit in a 26. Tried on a pair and success! I fit into a 26! :) I didn't quite like the fit of the jeans, though, and really wanted some Right Fit jeans. Turns out they didn't have any size 26's in the Right Fit, but the girl who was helping me brought me some 24's. I thought "What the heck?" and tried them on knowing they wouldn't fit. But HOLY COW I was wrong! I'm in a size twenty freakin four!!! To top it off, the shirt I picked out is an 18/20!!! I'm floored and I know this is just the first of many moments like this!
So like I said, today was a great day!
