A momentous occasion

It's a day I've been waiting for for a long time: after 17.5 months I have finally removed all of the maternity clothes from my closest. Unfortunately they were not still there because I am lazy and unorganized but because I still had to wear them a year after I had the baby. But no more! While wearing my strechy pants from college I also removed anything that said "XL". :D And gave my husband his t-shirts back. I don't think I have to tell you that it is a good feeling. And last night I put on a pair of dress slacks that I had worn when I worked at USDA, the low waist style and they looked alright and were comfortable. Now, don't go to thinking that I've had amazing results lately. Actually I'm not even sure that I made my 1lb. goal this week (but there are some *other reasons* for possible water weight right now so I'm not going to worry about it) but progress is being made and I'm feeling more comfortable in my skin. And it's marvelous. I also just realized that if I keep up at my current rate, I could have a really fun shopping trip on our annual Christmas trip to Minneapolis this year. :D
Today was fairly successful in the eating area too (so far). I avoided the coffee and the scones after church this morning (warm and soft and blueberry, it was a feat of self-control) and the hot dogs at noon. I did have a bite of each, but I stopped at that. Instead we went for a bike ride and then went swimming. Now Mike wants to go out for burgers and ice cream....hm...Not sure how I'm going to navigate that yet. But we'll figure it out.
