Yesterday, Hubby and I went to the local annual Bikefest.  Hubby brought the camera and took pictures of certain bikes he was interested in, but never took a long shot of any of the streets, or of the big crowd that was there.  Here’s one of the pictures he took.

It was by far the most attended Bikefest our little burg has ever had, and the music was awesome!  They had a band up there that was doing ZZ Top hits (complete with fake beards, lol) and you woulda thought they were the real thing.  Then later they brought out an amazing band from Michigan (apparently we have to rely on northern imports here in the sunshine state).  They did songs by AC/DC, Ted Nugent, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Doobie Brothers - all old rock stuff that the crowd loved (including us)!  We walked around for an hour or more then sat down to watch the band.  I would have danced but my hubby is so not the dancing type.  =D

This morning when I got up and was standing in front of my dresser trying to decide what to wear - those jeans I tried on a while back caught my eye.  I didn’t really remember how long ago it was but still the questions occured to me:  Should I try them on again?  Is it too soon?

I looked it up later - but what I didn’t know was that I had last tried on those jeans on Halloween, October 31st.  Since today was November 23, that means it’s only been 3 weeks and 2 days since I tried them on and I could not zip them.  Could not.  Not even close.

Well, 3 weeks and 2 days later, those jeans just slid right on.  Zipped and buttoned them with no effort at all.  Woohooooo!!!  SOOOOOOOO, to celebrate, I wore the burgundy pair - with a pink shirt that I have not worn for years because my arms would not fit in the sleeves - and I decided that TODAY IS THE DAY!

I had my hubby take some progress pics of me.

I even posted these pics on the 3FC message board under the 100 lb. club Progress Pics thread:

FINALLY, I felt like I had lost enough weight to actually show a bit of a difference.
