Fabulous Friday!

I'm only writing today about a 'Non Scale Victory" that needs shared! It was such a fabulous way to begin my Friday, and I've been excited about it all dang day!

I got up, showered and was scrounging around for something to wear... sounds like a normal day for me for sure. It was supposed to be really nice weather today, and I definitely wanted to wear capri jeans. I have a few pairs that fit fine. I also have a drawer that has a few pairs that haven't fit for three years. I decided to torture myself just a little by pulling out my favorite pair of too small capris just so I could see how close I'm getting to wearing them. I needed some motivation. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, pulled them on... wait.... they went on.... all the way on... WOOT! I opened one eye and looked at myself in the mirror.. HOT DAMN! Okay.. they went on without any kind of struggle, but I was pretty sure they wouldn't button and zip. Much to my great joy, they buttoned, zipped, and when I finally let my breath out (I didn't realize I was still holding it until I let it go hehehe) they fit! THEY FIT!!

I bought those adorable Hydraulic capris three years ago right after I first got sick. Two weeks later I started taking prednisone and gained 60 pounds in 2 months time and they haven't fit since. I was very sad.. I love them, which is why I've kept them around all this time I guess. They sure are cute! And they looked great today if I do say so myself! I took those pants out the night before my surgery and decided that they were going to be my first goal. I wanted to be able to wear them when I went to the beach in June. I am absolutely overjoyed that they fit already! I can tell you with utmost certainty (even though I haven't weighed myself in several days) that I haven't lost those 60 prednisone pounds.. not even close. I haven't even lost 30 pounds yet, I know it. But I've lost a lot of inches somehow... and I almost needed to breathe into a paperbag this morning due to hyperventilation/over-excitement!!

Anyhoo, I had to share. I'm motivated~~ oh so motivated! Thank you for jumping for joy for me, because I know you are (mentally, right?) hehe!

Just writing about it tonight I'm all giddy again! GO ME!

Thanks for stopping by!
