Feelings about goal weight

When we last met (ok, not really since I had to brag about my 10K PR this weekend but just go with me) I said that I wanted to think about hitting goal before I actually blogged about it.  For something that has taken me nearly three years to accomplish you'd think I'd have a lot to say and that I'd be prepared to say it.  I've been thinking about it for the past week and the best I've come up with is... WOW!  I thought I'd summarize my weight loss journey and wrap it all up in a nice bow for you fine folks but I realize that is a little silly since I've been blogging about my journey from the beginning.

Instead let me share with you some very random thoughts.  When I started on this weight loss journey I never thought about how things would change and differences that I would notice.  These are generally a thought that lasts all of a second but they kind of make me chuckle.

1. My pants pockets are so much smaller (as are my pants, obviously)
2. I used to be able to reach the pedals in the car with the seat all the way back so Dan and I never had to adjust them.  Now I can't reach the pedals and I have to move the seat up pretty far.  I usually forget to  move the seat back when I am done driving and Dan ends up trying to fold himself into the car the next time he drives it
3. My feet are narrower but I keep getting bigger running shoes - seriously THAT needs to stop
4. Clothes are smaller (obviously) and putting them into suitcases/dresser drawers is kind of comical
5. My fingers/hands have shrunk but I hadn't realized my wrists would shrink too
6. I can sit in any chair without worrying about getting bruises on the outsides of my thighs from the arms of the chair
7. I was never into dresses/skirts before but now I sort of enjoy wearing them

What random thoughts do you have that make you chuckle?
