I feel (and am looking) at least 20 years younger...at least:laugh: AT LEAST 20 YEARS YOUNGER!!!!!!:happy:

I got 2 new pair of size 14 jeans & a 16w jean last week or so ago (cause my size 20's were swimming on me). Now my 16's are getting to big in the waist and butt, so I'm wearing one of my 14's today. When I got them last week--both 14's were a wee bit snug when I first got them...now they are fitting and looking so GOOD. They are actually quite roomy in the waist and legs and crotch area. My friend told me today (after seeing me in them) that I'm going to need to get another size smaller pretty soon:happy:

My new Vibrams are so weird and cool. They are a gorgeous royal blue and white. I asked my daughter what did she think of them, and she said her friend says the five finger toes look kinda creepy:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: but my daughter says on me they look so cute and she wants some.

I'm rocking a size 14 y'all:bigsmile: (six sizes down from a month and 18 days ago when I first stated this "mission"), I am totally out of the norm (when I was fat and unhappy) by today wearing trendy weirdo comfy shoes with some cool jeans and it is so VERY well with my soul...I'm so content and glad!!!!!

One more thing. Today was my day of "rest" from my exercising and i still burnt to a crisp 864, just by walking for pleasure and walking back and forth from the grocery store (instead of driving). 864 calories, not by doing anything break-neck nor crazy nor extreme...just by walking!!!!!! I LOVE THAT!!!!!!

All this to say, my Life is completely changing before my eyes, EVERYDAY something better and new is happening to/in me--because God Himself has/is giving me another chance in this thing called Life and by my choosing to daily be doing things His Way, instead of mine is literally bringing my youth back and restoring YEARS(that the locust has eaten--so to speak) that I've WASTED in gluttony, greed, laziness/slothfulness all kinds of "mess" and just plain YUCK!!! Wow 19lbs down 30-40lbs more to go and I'm looking forward to every seemingly agonizing and uphill battle to come (in this battle of the bulge and making my fat cry/sweating and being more and more ACTIVE every day)!!!! I'm getting stronger everyday and so are YOU!!!!!:wink:

    I have two pair of Vibram Fivefingers -- a pair that's blue and gray with laces and a pair that's safety orange with a strap -- my 5 year old calls them "mommy's silly shoes" and he also wants a pair but had to settle for a pair of Merril sports sandals instead :)

    Congrats. I am so happy for you and totally agree. I burst out crying today when I put on a pair of skinny jeans and they were too big. I fell on my knees to give God praise thru my tears because I know I could not do this without him. Such a good feeling knowing he is there with us on this journey. Keep focus.
