This morning, it was registering 34 degrees - grabbed my winter coat - pretty expensive leather that I've worn for a few years. It was pretty tight and I couldn't button it... well it wraps around me and it feels really big! Size 22 and I'm now a 14/16... pretty funny... I put it on and wore it anyway... it was cold! People at work are telling me, it's time for a new coat... and while that is true, I'm celebrating my success and journey!

Stay encouraged! It's a great day!

That is fabulous. I gave away my big coat too soon. I thought for sure, back in July, that I would be at a size XL for a winter coat right now. So my new Merrell Coat is an XL and I can get it zipped, but it is not comfy. Had to go and borrow my dad's extra coat for the next month or two until mine actually fits. But it is motivating me to kick up the exercise and stay on plan.

Enjoy your blessings!

“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
