I have been on a slow weight loss journey. "Slow and steady wins the race" for about a year. Its more about me making permanent changes to my life habits then just shedding pounds and its working for. Really checking calories and portion sizes, finding better options and working on becoming more productively active (I have always been active and outdoorsy white water kayaking and hiking and biking). I have lost about 23 pounds thus far and was losing my motivation to continue to push hard at the gym even tho my boss and support have signed up for adventure runs this year. Well today i went shopping for new pants as mine our way to big (size 7 and 5s are a little loose). I thought I would try a size 3 something that was always unattainable in my mind always being told I'm stocky and wide hipped. I have never been able to button a size 3 in my life let alone get them past my thighs...NOT TODAY! I got them on and buttoned!! Im not quite to the point of rocking them or buying them or i got them on buttoned and wasn't cutting blood flow off to my intestines!!! This has given that motivational kick in the pants, if you will, to continue rocking it out at the gym and my meal plans!!! Adventure runs here I come!
