A stellar day...

I woke, snuggled in my flannel sheets and down comforter, warm and happy. I was looking forward to stepping on the scale this morning. I dashed to the bathroom to get rid of any excess weight and put the coffee on. The aroma of Peet's filled the apartment. I tripped the mechanism with my toe and waited for my signal to step on. And waited for the number to appear. YES!! It happened!! I broke the first major weight loss goal!!! I SHATTERED it by 1.8 lbs.

I can't even tell you how good this feels. I'm almost needing to buy another smaller pair of jeans. All my pants are all too loose. Thank goodness for drawstrings. At least I can cinch them up for a while yet. And even more exciting, three years ago I bought a pair of slacks which were just too small. They are cream crepe and fully lined. I kept them in the closet hoping one day. Well, today is the day. When I bought them, I could get them on and that was about it. The pockets bulged and the thighs were creased and there was no way I could ever sit down in them. A month ago I tried them on and the pockets didn't bulge anymore, they weren't creased, but the lining was too tight for me to sit down. Well, here I sit in them, comfortable. I can wear these for another 30 lb. loss and they too will have to go. Thank goodness for drawstrings!

This has been an epic, milestone day and it's not even 10 am.
