Happy News

So, with the snow yesterday I had to wear long pants and shoes (not sandals) for the first time since last Spring! I dreaded that, because I had grown out of my pants last year or so. I bought ONE pair of pants that I wore all last year. I didn't want to buy more than that because I refused to think that I would stay that size! And that is why I have resisted wearing long pants as summer has turned to fall and now winter. I knew the day would come, but I tried to postpone it as long as possible. So yesterday I decided to try on the outgrown pants and they fit! I didn't have to suck it in or jump around or anything to get in them :) My weight hasn't come down like I would like, but my body is obviously changing and responding positively to the work I have been doing. Working out has definately been beneficial - I am stronger physically and I know my cardio-vascular system is working better and stronger, too. So that is all a plus. I will just stick with it and, eventually I'll get the food under control and lose weight, too.
