    I did not use yesterday's and last night's storm storm as an excuse to skip my workout. Instead, I got up early and was out shoveling at 6:30 AM for an hour. Then I changed clothes, grabbed breakfast and drove to the gym by 8:30 to meet my trainer for my workout. Afterwards, I walked a few miles on the indoor track.

    Shoveling is a ton of work! Great job!

    When I hit 60 pounds down, I went to try on new jeans at the store. For the first time in my ENTIRE life, I fit into a size 22 jeans.

    Just for some perspective, when I was 14 in my sister's wedding, I was told I was between sizes and would have to get down to a 24, or go up to a 26. I'm still super overweight, but I'm officially the smallest I've ever been and it's awesome.

    I haven't reached my first NSV but I'm hoping that I can get my beautiful wedding ring to fit again by the end of January. Only have a couple day left so I better get motivated.

    Been a while so... I touched my toes. May not sound like a big deal but I was shocked.

    I'm down a pants size. Tried on some Columbia hiking pants and found I could fit into a size 10. I'm getting there.:happy:

    Needed insulin to control my Type 2 diabetes. After blood work this week, doctor said I could stop using the insulin.

    Had to retire the sweats I bought when I started working out because they're too loose...even with the drawstring pulled all the way. :bigsmile:

    "Gained" weight over spring break but I think it was water retention BUT lost 1 inch off my waist. Plus one of my co-workers told me I was "disappearing before her eyes" - made me smile.

    Non-Scale Victories for me...

    1) I'm down 2 pant sizes. At Maurice's I no longer need to purchase jeans from their plus size line. I can wear the 17-18 in the core sizes.

    2) I went for a hike on some local nature trails, and didn't need to stop and rest or hit my inhaler. We were out there over an hour.

    3) Okay, putting this one out there a little prematurely, but This Saturday I will be doing my first 5K. I'm super excited.

    Today I realized I can take off my jeans without unbuttoning or unzipping them. Even when they were freshly washed. Wahoo!
