10

A little over a month ago, I tried to squeeze my hiney into a size 10 jean.  If you'd like, you can read about it here... Anyway, I tried on another pair during a shopping trip to Target this week.  Much to my delight, they fit!  And they fit well!  So, naturally I bought them. :-)  Just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, I drove over to my local Old Navy and grabbed a pair of size 10's off their shelf as well.  Success!  So, I bought those too! :-)

While wearing a size 10 is very exciting, the number 10 is significant for another reason... It's been longer than that since I've been able to wear that size.  I haven't put on a size 10 pair of jeans since before I became pregnant with my son.  That was over 10 (nearly 11) years ago.  Needless to say, I'm geeked! This process has been slow.  Painfully slow at times.  But, it's working.  Slowly but surely, the weight is coming off.  The numbers on the scale, and on my tags, are getting smaller and the amount of weight I'm able to lift and squat, is getting larger.  It's getting fun again!
