Milestone

Just wanted to let you know I reached 175 today. This is good news. I've been reaching for this number since May of last year. I stalled out and didn't do anything to change where I was until a few weeks ago. I started going to Weight Watchers meetings with some friends of mine and then I started exercising every day. Every day. EVERY DAY. Except today because I'm grumpy. How can I be grumpy when I reached this goal? I dunno, I just am.

So we're having Sonic for dinner. Yeah, I know...I'm trying to lose weight but I'm eating fast food for dinner. But I have the points for it, so no biggie. But I had to order the kid's meal instead of a "normal" sized meal. I'll be happy with my kid's meal because I get tater tots and a hamburger. Aahhhh - the simple (and fatty) joys of life.

I got some Levi's for Christmas in 2007 that are now too big. This is a bittersweet moment because this is the only pair of Levi's I've ever owned (they never seemed to fit me right until the advent of spandex in denim) so I'm sad. But the obvious is that THEY'RE TOO BIG. I can pull them down or up without unbuttoning or unzipping them. That's fun. But they need a new home after they go through the wash this time around because they're becoming a bit too saggy baggy.

I have 4 friends I go to WW with. We're in Bible study together and have all fooled around with losing weight through WW for years. We're finally pulling together and being intentional and supportive. It's cool.

I'm going to go now and unload the dishwasher. I probably should at least do that one productive thing today. I've sat for most of the day because I don't feel 100%. Which makes me wonder how I'm going to feel after ingesting some quality Sonic grease.
