#1 - I have two pair of jeans that fit, but I had to lie down on the bed to get them zipped. Today... zip zip! No problem, even while standing up...

#2 - Hubby got home from school at nearly 10 pm last night, after I had already done tons of housework and my cardio workout and had a shower. He asked if I felt up for a walk... and I DID. I actually felt good enough to go, said yes, and we went for a three miler around the neighborhood.

#2B - Our mile and half route around the 'hood usually takes us 45 minutes 'cos I'm such a wimpy whiner and keep making hubby slow down. Last night I totally kept up with Mr. Snappy Feet, didn't whine or even feel bad the whole route, and we did the mile and half in 35 minutes instead of 45.

I am very, very proud of myself today!

Way to go! I had to cut my walk short yesterday due to inclement weather, and I can't get out today (still raining), but my NSV is that I was invited to a CAbi party last night and I've gone from a size 12 to a 10! I was tempted to order size 8, but I doubt I'll see an 8 until the end of summer and these clothes will be fine for spring and summer.

Wow, wow, wow, Lala! Fantabulous!

I am mightily impressed that you went walking at 10pm. Especially after having done your exercising for the day and settled in for the night. That shows real dedication. Hugs to hubby, too -- is he also on a fitness routine or is he showing encouragement to you on yours? Either way, what a sweetheart!

Congrats, too, on cutting your walking time from 45 minutes to 35. You have to be so proud of yourself! Hehe and I can totally relate on the fast-walker hubby! I feel like a turtle when walking with mine.

You've inspired me -- it seems to be a nice day out (so far) and I've already mapped out a solid mile route through our neighborhood. I *may* just get out and walk!

And bravo on the jeans! I haven't been brave enough to try on clothes yet -- I'm still just wearing the stuff I was in before I started this journey.

Alinnell, congrats on the size loss. What a nice feeling! What's a CAbi party? Or do I want to know??? Is it like one of those Naughty Nighties things?

CAbi is Carol Anderson by invitation. Really nice clothes for work or play. You can see the clothes on www.cabionline.com, but you have to go to a party to buy them. Not any of that naughty stuff! I decided to host a party next month, now I need to decide who to invite--such decisions!!
Take care and good luck to everyone!

Way to keep moving throughout your entire day! You're doing great. Keep it up.

Thanks! Hubby decided to join me for himself and for support for me too. He really inspires me. He gets up early and hits the elliptical machine for 45 minutes every day. How can I skip exercise when I know he's working harder than I am?

dalia....congrats on keeping up with hubby on the walk....that is awesome!!!

and i know how great it felt to zip up those pants without laying down. that is a great feeling. i'm just happy to find some jeans i hadn't worn in a while that i can wear with ease. i may not be down a size, but i am back in my size more comfortably. GREAT JOB!!!

Keep up the good work. before you know it.....hubby's going to have to be sprinting to keep up with you .....in lots of ways!!!


here's a carrot for you!!!! For a great job done!!!

Way to go, Lali! Great NSVs!!!

And Allison, glad those sizes are dropping!

I laugh when I see so many posting they can't go walking because of the rain. I am the opposite... I LOVE the rain and am dreading the arrival of summer when it will be hotter and I won't want to go outside so much!! Yes I know I am strange LOL
