Woo hoo!!! New jeans!!!

Hey girls!

This is gonna be a short post, but I just had to share this exciting news! I went to my favorite consignment store to pick up the clothes & shoes that didn't sell as well as collect my money from what they did sell. I consigned all of my clothes that were too big, many of them size 16-18W jeans & lots of 1x tops. They were very successful in moving alot of the clothing for me and I made almost $46. Not too shabby & way better than what I would have gotten from them at a garage sale. Anyways, back to my main thought of this post. So as I was scoping the store to find my unsold items, I found  a few pr of  jeans & decided to try them on. One pr was a pr of size 14 Gap black denim jeans. They fit perfectly, actually, they are almost a little loose, but they feel good & look good so I bought them. They were brand new with tags on ($59.50) and I got them for $15.99. SCORE! Then I found a pr of Tommy Hilfiger jeans that were in a size 12 that looked brand new. I looked at them, then put them back, then decided to try them on for kicks & giggles and guess what???!! THEY FIT!!! They zipped and everything... and did I mention...THEY ARE A SIZE 12!!!!!! Misses SIZE 12!!!! O M G!!!! I almost fell over in the dressing room....actually I think I almost had a mini stroke in there! I went out to see what they looked like in the 3 way mirror, and then I asked if they had a hand held mirror so I could see if they looked OK to wear in public. Well, they are a tad bit snug still but without a doubt I could wear them out in public, no problem, but I think I will wear them when I am down another 8 or so pounds. I think when I get into the 160s they are gonna fit like a glove! I am so excited!!!!! I haven't had a size 12 pr of jeans hanging in my closet in YEARS....and I mean YEARS!!!!

So that's whats new with me. 2 new pr of jeans for me today. On a sad note, I have to have a root canal next Wed. :( Booooo hiss! I think my dentist was on crack or something when he was drilling my teeth as a kid because every filling I have seems to be overly filled, and now as I am in my 40s, the teeth are starting to fracture & need root canals.( sigh) No fun getting old girls.....no fun at all! Thank goodness I love my endodontist. (root canal dentist) He is fantastic! (this is my 2nd root canal)

Hope you are all doing great this week! I think I am going to weigh in tomorrow at WW as I cant go on Saturday due to my Cardiac Symposium. I will keep you all posted. Still catching up on blogs so if I haven't commented on your blog, I apologize. I am getting there!

Hugs & Happy Dancing!

  4. Yee Haw! I smiled through your entire post. It's such a great feeling to fit into smaller clothes-- I'm so happy you had such a great moment. You earned that-literally no one else can do that for you, and you did it.

  6. Thanks for your encouragement girls. I feel so good since I switched up my eating and have been exercising. I am down another .4# (I weighed in today because I will be at a seminar on Sat) and in 3 weeks I am down a total of 4#. Not too shabby!
