Talk about surprising... I've had at least a gallon of ice cream this week, not to mention tons of sugar cookies and shortbread cookies... Maybe I should check if the scales broken??

But enough about my not believing my metabolism is functioning like a normal adult's.

Special Announcement!

After months of living in sweat pants and leggings and skirts and dresses and frumpy, bag-lady outfits in general, and 15 minutes siting on my bed, staring at a neglected corner of my closet, I snapped.

And it was a good kind of snap.

I tried on a pair of my jeans. 

AND THEY FIT.

No bouncing, tugging, struggling or sucking in occurred. They just slid right on, like butter. The fabric was a bit tight, but that was due to washing/drying and it quickly stretched out. I even wore them riding, which is arguably the biggest "do they fit right" test any pair of jeans will ever go through. 

Best part? NO MUFFIN TOP.

Three months after changing my diet, I can fit in my jeans again. Three months!

Color me shocked. Overjoyed. Ecstatic. Mind-blown. And all other adjectives of the kind. 

P.S.

Big shock! (not) I didn't track my exercise or food. I pledge to start tomorrow though. Gonna start actually planning my meals instead of winging it. 

Also, some friends have asked how I've been going about losing weight. Since I've already typed it up for them, I figured why not take the extra seconds to copy and paste it here?

Or as another post. I think another post would be more appropriate. I've already done a P.S. on this one. 

When I get home. Because once again, I find myself with pages of written posts and not at home. And while B is happy to let me use her laptop, everyone else is watching Moulin Rouge. And I like Moulin Rouge. Plus I think it's weirding them out hearing me suddenly burst into song.  

Plus the whole typed out thing is on the hard drive of my computer at home.
