This suit is 20 yrs old and has NEVER been worn (size 4)...I remember when I bought it, it was on clearance (Anne Klein) but they only had a size 4 left and I LOVED this suit, so I said I'll just drop a couple of pounds to fit it, but never did.

Well...it's official...I FIT IT!!!! Woooooo hooooo!!!!

You are working the suit!!! It looks simply beautiful on you!!! All your hard work had paid off!!!

You go gurl!

Great Morning Weather in my neck of the woods...going to park trail for a nice easy breasy 5 miler!

EXERCISE:

Running - 5.2 Miles OUTDOOR RUN!!! Ok...I'm convinced it's the fresh air that makes outdoor running euphoric!

I should have ran instead of going to the gym this morning.. The air was nice and mild this morning so it would have been perfect! Glad you had a good run!

I was going to go tonnite.. But its supposed to rain rain rain! Boooo!

You ROCK! How cool is that.

Didn't read this whole thread, but I plan too when I have time.
Your meals just sound soooo good!

just starting out here. Truly inspirational!

Thanks ladies!

As a matter of fact...today and tomorrow I'm-a-cookin' fool!

Here's what's on the menu:

1. Authentic Jamaican Curry Chicken Thighs
2. Carribean curry black beans w/plantains
3. Sesame Chicken
4. Thai Curry Chicken w/Red Pepper
5. Seafood Alfredo w/Shrimp & Cod over brown rice linquine

Today I'm cooking #1 & 2. Tomorrow will be 3-5. Ugghh...soooo many herbs and spices it takes to make this food so yum...but it's worth it. MUST take trip to grocery store today.

Will post more food pics! Thanks again everyone...I love that my food inspires you. If you see something you like, let me know and I'll post the recipe.

Holy moly, a size 4?!?!? That's awesome, and you look great!

That suit is a size 4...yes...true...but probably the ONLY size 4 I can fit right now. I'm a size 6 in every other business suit I own, a size 7/8 woman's casuals, a size 9/10 juniors in jeans

...but heck...I'll take a "4" where I can get one!

Joyful.. I apologize in advance for asking this question you have probably been asked a million times, but please tell me more about these Pumpkin Raisin muffins!

(I tried to 'search' but couldn't find anything)

Here a link to where I keep all my recipes. You will find all the macros here as well. ENJOY and let me know how you like them...they're really DELISH!

Running - 5.2 Miles at Park!!! - Got hit on by a 19 yr old...**Note to Self - Leave SPEEDO Home next run!**

*EDIT* - Curry Chicken & Curry black beans = SPICEEEEEY! Used about 5 scotch bonnet peppers between the two dishes...YUM! My fingers are still burning from the peppers...true story!

Go YOU! I cannot wait to wear my little Nike shorts that I bought lonnnnng ago.. I was always self concious about cellulite so I would never wear them. Now that I see that cellulite does start looking better, the lower your bodyfat percentage is --maybe, just maybe, I can wear mine this summer!

Get it!

You are right right right there at goal! I love it!
