May 20

The Good: I had one of those WOW feelings today. Shawn and I went to Main Street Cafe this evening to celebrate him making a 94 on his Law Enforcement Academy test! Woo Hoo! I am a VERY proud wife. :) When we finished eating, we decided to head over to my parents house to see them. I have been wanting to get over there all week to finish getting the clothes I had left in my closet that I didn't take 2 months ago because they were too small for me to wear. I wanted to see how close I was to getting into them again. One of my favorite things to wear in high school and early college was Polo button up shirts. I loved the preppy and classic look of them and still do. I have been wanting to get back into them for YEARS. While I was pulling out a few dresses that I knew I could fit in now, I thought to myself, maybe I should try one on just to see how close I am to wearing them again. To my surprise...it fit! Not only did it fit but I put it on top of the other shirt I was wearing so I knew for sure it would fit! I ran downstairs to tell my mom and Shawn and had tears in my eyes. It certainly was one of those moments that made me realize how far I have come and how hard I have worked in the last 5 months to lose this weight. Needless to say, I now have my 6 favorite Polo shirts in my closet...be on the lookout, you might see me wearing them around town. :)

The Bad: I did not get a workout in today but I felt like I could pass today and not feel too bad because I went on a field trip to the zoo with my class today and did a decent amount of walking and two, Shawn was coming home from the police academy and I couldn't WAIT to see him. We have an extremely busy day tomorrow so I am not sure if I will be able to get a formal workout in but I might try a few things at home that I saw some of the trainers doing at Gold's yesterday. I try to watch them as they work with their clients to see what they do since they are the fitness professionals.

The Ugly: Shawn and I had a celebration piece of our favorite cake at Main Street Cafe. It was soooo good but I certainly didn't need the extra calories since I didn't get a workout in today. Oh well....will try to work it off tomorrow. :)

  1. You looked fabulous last night when you came by!!! Wow!!! I was also extremely excited to see that your Polo shirts fit you again, AND, that so many of the things you pulled out of your closet were WAY too big!!! Congratulations, and thanks for the motivation! I needed it....
