Someone told me a while back (I’m bummed that I can’t remember who said it so that I can thank them!) that folks would come out of the woodwork noticing my weightloss around the 50-lb mark. Well, at our ministry outing tonight (more about that in another post), two guys from church asked me  if I had lost weight. 😀  They were both really sweet about it and said they had noticed but didn’t want to say anything out of place. I assured them that I appreciated the comment!! Wahoo!

I was down 48 lbs last week, and I’m hoping to hit the 50-lb mark at my weigh-in this Thursday. I’ll keep you posted! 😀

I’m going to have to get my wedding rings resized when I hit my goal. It’s funny, b/c I don’t recall them being loose when I first got them 12+ years ago, but man, they’re just spinning on my finger as I type. :p  I can only imagine how much looser they’ll be at the goal line!

One goal is being able to wear my college pinky ring again. If the band was a thinner style, it would already fit, but the wide face with the stone and embossed lettering doesn’t quite set on my finger yet. When I can wear that ring, then I’ll know that I’ve made some serious progress!! Then again, college graduation was before my wedding, so I may not be able to wear that ring until I’m at my goal. Whatever – I’m still excited.

I had to break down and buy a few inexpensive blouses this week, b/c I’m running out of work clothes. I’m also wearing my last hopefully-it’ll-fit-someday slacks, so unless I can sweet-talk my mom into passing down some more of her clothes, I need to keep an eye out on sales. Speaking of whom, my mom has been awesome – she’s a size smaller than me, and it’s been great fun for both of us to see what clothes I can fit into! Not to mention, it sure saves the pocketbook.

On a side note, did you know that whiskey, gin, vodka and rum have NO carbs? Neither does diet cola. Just sayin’.
