woohoooooo!!!!

My parents took my son to Toledo today for my cousin's graduation, and my aunt gave my mom 6 pairs of jeans and some shirts.  The jeans were all size 12, so I thought "no way are these going to fit me!!"  But I tried them on anyways because my mom begged me.  And OHMAHGOODNESS!!  THEY FIT!!  Last month I was a size 14, and since my son broke the scale in the bathroom (we don't know how he did it, but leave it to a 6-year-old to break something lol), I have had no clue as to whether or not I was losing any weight.  I certainly hadn't noticed any difference in my size, but dropping a pants size is a good sign =)   I still have a long way to go with my weight, but seeing that 6 nights a week with 45 minute walks is paying off, I'm encouraged to keep going.  In addition to the walks, I use my 3lb weights to get the fat off of my arms and I do regular workouts 4 days a week.  I cut back on food too- having cut-out junk food almost completely, and eating small portions for meals and not going for seconds.
