a happy day
2 happy things that happened to me today.........
I've been measuring my waist once a week on my "weigh-in day." Its been a little over 6 weeks since my surgery and I've finally lost some inches from my waist. When I measured last week, I still hadn't even lost 1/2 an inch from my waist and couldn't understand how this could happen having lost 36 pounds. When I measured today, I was delighted to see that I've now lost 4 inches from my waist. So 40 pounds lost and 4 inches lost from my waist! Yay!
The second thing....I have a beautiful double breasted pink tweed pea coat that I got from Lane Bryant (a size 18/20) when I graduated from college (6 years ago). It was my first "big" purchase with my first paycheck from my first "real" job. I wore it for one winter season as a double breasted coat.....and then the next winter season I had to move the buttons to make it bigger so it turned into a coat with one column of buttons........and then the next winter I couldn't get the stupid thing on, let alone buttoned. That coat has been hanging in my closet for YEARS and the pretty pink buttons I removed have been sitting in the bottom of my sewing box all this time. I tried the coat on a few weeks ago and I could get it on but couldn't get it buttoned. I tried it on today and buttoned it up! I wore it to work today and felt wonderful! My next goal is to move the buttons back to their original place and wear it as the beautiful double breasted coat that I bought for myself!
Just wanted to share today's little joys!
