First, I’d like to start out with a little update.  I will be moving yet again later this month, so I started going through my room on Sunday.  Since I’ve got so many clothes, I decided to start there to motivate me (and clear out some working space) to continue getting ready for our garage sale and move.  Anyway, like most women, I have purchased items of clothing thinking, “I’m almost that size, so why not buy it a little smaller.”  Well, I found a pair of dress pants, a pair of jeans and a top that I have never been able to wear since I purchased them that now fit!!!  I was in tears when I tried on the top.  I can’t tell you how many times I have tried that thing on thinking that I’d finally be able to wear it without my gut sticking out and making it look weird.  I’m so excited to wear these items and show them off to my boyfriend!

Ok, now for my goals:

P.S. I also purchased a really cute red dress for Valentines Day in a size 14!  I may be bighting off more than I can chew, but I figured if I was a size 16 at 215 lbs, which is 23 lbs away, I should be able to fit into a size 14 after ~35-40 lbs.  I’ve got 3 months and 2 weeks to fit into that dress and I will work my tushy off until I do!  Wish me luck!
