Wednesday already? Wow this week is flying by! Time for the first weigh-in of Shrink for Good challenge over at The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans. This is our version of the Lose for Good campaign that WeightWatchers is doing now.
The scale hasn't budged since Sunday, which I guess is better then it going up. Hope to see a loss next week. Started week 4 of C25K, which if you recall reading this then you'll know it was a challenge in itself.
I did have a non-scale victory this morning that I wanted to share with my sisters. I laid out 2 pairs of black dress pants last night for work. One of them is a nice tailored pair (size 12) that I got when I first interviewed for my job, almost 4 years ago. Wore them on the interview and a few times right after I started, then they "somehow" started to get tighter and tighter until I had to stop wearing them because they were basically cutting a ridge in my stomach from being too tight. I tried them on a few months ago and I could get them up but not buttoned. So I thought might as well try them again, maybe it'll be a little closer this time.
So I got ready this morning and picked up the new pants...and was shocked to find myself buttoning them up with no problem! I almost got a little teary and was like...yeah-that rocks! No wonder my other dress pants make me look like a slob, they are a size 16! That's 2 sizes too big apparently! After not seeing the scale move at all, that was the boost I needed to keep my head held high today. So here I sit, eating my lunch and wearing my little black pants and feeling good about sticking to a healthy lifestyle. Nobody said it was easy, but it is soo worth it at times like these!!!
