Default New Sweatpants!! YEAH!!

I put this in my journal but had to share here too. Hope you all don't mind but I am SOO excited!!!

Well I had to get new sweat pants today for the gym cause mine are falling off of me which is a really neat thing!!
Anywhoo, I went to try them on. Now, this time last year I was in a plus size x3 so I thought I would try on a ladies xl since I have lost 50 lbs.
WELL, they were TOO BIG!!!!!
So I had to go out and get a LARGE.....THEY WERE TOO BIG!!!

I can't believe this but I got to buy a MEDIUM pair of sweatpants, off the rack in the NORMAL part of the ladies clothes!!!!

I was so excited I think the sales clerk in the store thought I was NUTS!!!
I was dancing!!! I had to run back to the gym and tell AdAM MY TRAINER THE GOOD NEWS!!!
I am so excited and this is giving so much more incentive to keep going when the going gets tough!! Today my workout seemed extra hard but now I don't care...Make it hard...I can do it!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!

Congratulations!!!!! Your hard work has paid off! You must be so excited. I am dreaming of the day to go out and buy something smaller then a 14....I'm like an 18 right now....but have never been below a 14 in the last 15 years. I am very happy for you! Enjoy those sweatpants!!!!

Thank YOU! Your excitement brought back memories of my first non-plus size purchase in a LONG time. You just might have lit the fuse on my motivation again!

Good job!
