New Jeans (a tiny success)

I'm wearing US size 8 jeans.... for the first time in my adult life. There's no muffin top, I can bend and stretch, I have a hot pad tucked into the waistband because of low back cramps (so there's a little room in the waist!) They're still too snug in the thighs for me to feel comfortable wearing them out of the house, but this is a red letter day.

I'm still not at my goal weight, but I'm getting there. I think these pants will survive the next 10 pounds down, perhaps with a belt.....
