I've tried, hopefully I've been sucessful, to find some common thread or comical story to share with you about what I've learned or how my week went and today is no exception. Two I actually have two stories to share with you. It should also be noted that if you don't know my husband he's kind of got that sense of humor that is pretty dead pan. If you don't believe me I'll post the video from our wedding when the best man did an impression of him that, to this day, cracks me up every single time. So... at least you've been warned!
For those who know me outside of work or school know that my daily wardrobe consists of t-shirts and either sporty pants/capris/shorts depending on the season. When I say sporty pants you know what I'm talking about they are like yoga pants but since I've never really done yoga it seems inappropriate to call them that. Now that I think about it given the purpose of this blog it seems slightly inappropriate to call the sporty pants too. Anyway...
At the scrapbook retreat a couple of weekends ago Sheri looked at me and said 'your pants are too big'. I kind of knew this before she said it because the moment she said that I was currently pulling them up because they were falling down!! Anyway, the fact that she said this was totally fine because I told her early on that she would have tell me when clothes didn't fit right because I'm a fashion catastrophe and my husband... well... he's no better. She agreed, as true friends should, though she may have agreed a little too quickly.
So, I ordered some new ones in varying sizes, same as I did for my jeans.
I put on the largest of the sporty pants I bought and showed my husband who promptly said 'those are too long'. Which, duh, I was well aware of having stepped on the bottoms twice already.
The following day, because I do not enjoy trying on clothes, I put on another pair, this time one size smaller than the day before. I was ecstatic! I said to Dan, look I've got little-er pants on to which he again promptly replied, 'those are too long'.
I looked at him and said, 'duh, I'm in a weight loss program not a height gain program. I haven't gotten taller since yesterday!'
Anyway, I love the fact that I'm ordering smaller clothes and can fit into them. I'm even going to send back the pants that were the bigger size. Oh yeah, I really just said that! Which totally gives Sheri permission to
ask make fun of me until I do.

The second thing is that I hit a milestone last night at the weigh-in.
46 pounds
Yes, I totally get that it's funny I made the font on that BIGGER when I'm trying to make myself SMALLER! Anyway, this is an excerpt from the meeting last night during the celebrations.
Leader: And we're celebrating with Jen because she lost 46 pounds
Sheri bursts out laughing
Leader: Why is that funny?
Sheri: It just seems odd to celebrate 46 and not 45
Leader: I just want to give full credit for the 46 pounds
Sheri: Well were there ounces there because she'll want to celebrate the ounces too
Jen: Yeah, I will
Leader: (Laughing) No, it was 46 pounds even.
I thought the whole interaction was pretty funny.
Enjoy your week folks.
