Victory in our time!

First up:

The BOY (okay, MAN ;)) found the blog...still not sure what to think about that. On the one hand, it is nice to know that I have a reader (hi, honey!). On the other, I was pretty upset that he is now privy to the ACTUAL number of my weight...

When I stop to think about that, it seems silly. I mean, he OBVIOUSLY knows what I look like, etc...it is just that the number gives me such shame...I wonder if it is because numbers are concrete and easy to compare, versus the subjective measure of how we "look"?

On a more pleasant note, I am down to 187.5...yes, it has really slowed to a crawl, but it is still moving in the right direction. Tonight, for the first time in nearly 3 years, I was able to put on (as in button and zip- they still don't look that hot!) my 7 for all Mankind and Paige Jeans...My first thought when I looked in the mirror was: DAMN! Jeans in 2007 were LOW RISE... I mean, I knew that we were trending back toward mom-jeans-ness these days, but I had no idea how far we had come!

I am still a good 10 pounds from feeling comfortable wearing the jeans out and about, but I was still very pleased with the progress....I don't think they will be quite ready to wear at NAC, but it is possible...we shall see!
