The Incredible Shrinking Woman!

Yes folks, that's what I am. Celebrate with me! I entered a weight loss contest before Halloween in an attempt to keep us all from gaining weight over all of these holidays. Well, I couldn't remember what I started at but I knew that I had been slowly losing weight. My pants were all baggy and I don't have a belt so it was very annoying. Someone told me my total was at 10 pounds! Not bad. So this morning, because I was tired of my pants sagging, I thought I'd try on some of my pre-Joseph jeans. I had a GREAT pair that I just loved and after he was born I couldn't even pull them up all the way, let alone get them zipped. I went for the smallest pair I have. You know what? I'm sitting in them. Right now. Yep, they are zipped and yes I am still breathing. Comfortably I might add. Yes! I was so happy and proud of myself! Then I heard a crinkle in the pocket and checked it. $20. Another wonderful surprise! It's like I paid myself for the contest, lol. Now I need to go check all of my other pre-Joseph jean pockets... So which is better, the size or the money? Hmmm, that's a tough one.
