A big milestone for me :)

No weigh-in for me yesterday. As some of you may have read on my "Moved to the Mountains" blog, I am starting a part-time job as a paraprofessional at my son's elementary school so I was at orientation all morning yesterday! My first day is next Monday, so today I decided to make the most of Iain being home, and I went out shopping. Having been a SAHM for 11 years, I really don't possess many clothes that are stain-free or unfaded :) Comes with the territory, I guess!

BUT here's the big thing: after years of shopping almost exclusively at Lane Bryant...I went to Macy's today and bought several pairs of pants in sizes 14 and 16!! YEAH!! I don't remember the last time I was able to buy some clothes in the "regular" part of a store. Wow! The feeling I had today was better than seeing any number on the scale...now I can really see what a difference the gym makes...as well as losing weight, my shape is really changing!

I know, I need to post a new photo. I'll get Nattie or Iain to take one tomorrow :) Thank you everyone for all the support you're giving to Benita and me! You guys ROCK!
