So, I started my journey on this site a little less than a month ago. I was religiously working out & couting calories like a mad woman. Then my sister's bachelorette weekend came up & I fell off the wagon. I slowly got back up & about 2 weeks ago, I started doing my own cardio workouts at home & counting calories & watching what I ate. Over the weekend, I had a gout flare. It threw me off my game because I couldn't work out or even walk! But I kept on track with my calorie intake. :D

This morning, I was running late for school, and I said "Screw it! I'm not wearing scrubs today!!" (I'm a medical assistant student) & threw on some jeans. I didn't realize what jeans I put on until I stopped by the restroom when I got to school. I fit in my J Crew size 8 jeans!!! I haven't worn these jeans ever b/c my cousin gave them to me when she got pregnant! I always put them at the bottom of my dresser, but I guess I need to do laundry since I didn't realize I pulled these babies out!!

I never thought I'd be able to see the day that I would fit into these jeans!!! I mean I can SQUEEEEEEZE into a size 8 GAP/Old Navy jeans no biggie!! Only because they run big. I'm usually a size 11/12.. 13 if the brand runs small. This just makes me want to ditch school all week & keep doing what i've been doing for the past week & a half!!
