Just because they're both short.
On the off-chance that anyone actually reads this anymore, I thought I'd share that I'm now down about 40 pounds from when I first decided to motivate myself. a.k.a. I'm down about 40lbs from that pic I have on the home page.
Feel free to praise me. I won't complain a bit.
For the record, 40lbs is roughly a size and a half for me, which I totally dig. If I keep this up, I'll be able to jam myself into that stinkin' cute denim mini skirt that I bought on the cheap in NO TIME.
Seriously though. You should probably start to congratulate me right about now. Go.

Holy. S.
So, I'm not big on giving too many specifics about myself, since this is a totally open blog. I'm not thrilled about the idea of giving too much away. You know, things like where I live, names, etc. I'm not to that point of bloggy openness yet. :)
Also included in this little list are little personal items like weight, measurements, etc. Part of it is that I don't like to make myself too transparent (I'm a woman of mystery. ha!). Part of it is probably that I just don't want to deal with saying a lot of thingsout loud in type.
One of those little items is my actual clothing size. I'm about to break the rules and just put a little more than I want to out there, but I'm just really excited about it. It sort of feels worth it tosay write it. Without further ado, the reason I'm writing.
It's been a while since I've been able to walk into your average Old Navy and just buy a pair of pants off the rack. Too small. By more than just a little. Ish. I don't even like saying it. Writing it, whatever. I've been able to wear shirts from most "regular" stores, but not pants. No way. AND, I suppose I should point out that shirts haven't exactly been "lose" or "well-fitting" either. But today, not only did I buy a swim suit (that doesn't fit right - my lovely lady lumps do NOT look awesome in that bad boy. BUMMER) and a cute linen shirt, but I bought a pair of jeans. They're just a small bit too tight for my comfort, but DANG if I didn't buy 'em. A regular pair of jeans. NOT a plus sized pair of jeans. Off. The. Rack!
This is awesome. I'm far more pumped about being able to buy a $22 pair of jeans than anyone should ever be, but whatever. I'm so much more motivated to keep this thing going than I was before. I mean, this is HUGE! I'm so much closer to my goal than I really realized, and that's really exciting. Without even really noticing it, I've lost enough weight to be only a few pants sizes closer to where I want to be. I just can't wait till I'm able to say that I'm even closer in a few weeks. By the time sister T gets married next year, I'm going to be thin enough to actually look DECENT in a bridesmaid dress!!
I still haven't gotten around to taking a good follow-up picture of myself to show how things are looking since the pic of me in October in Europe. I'm working on it. :)
