I am so glad it is finally Friday! Why didn't someone create 2 day work weeks and 5 day weekends, that would really just suit me way better.
So, I actually do not have a weight to report today. GASP! I know! But, on Sunday of last week, I decided to go to my 2nd WW meeting of the week, because I really liked last weeks topic (Power foods*) and can always use the refresher. Well, like always, my plans never turn out right. Turns out Sunday kicks off the WW week so I got a sneak peek of this weeks topic (Using your weekly points, the RIGHT way) which I would have attended on Wednesday. Only, I liked this meeting WAY better. So I decided to switch meetings, so I will be going on Sundays at 11am now. The leader is great, the group is chatty and helpful, I just really enjoyed myself. And that will give me 5 days to get my FFF post ready. Win!
I do have something to report though. Over the weekend I was in Target (I<3 Target) and bought a new pair of jeans. There were 2 pair I was deciding on, and I ended up getting just one. They were Merona's Boot-cut jeans with the Comfort, no gap waistband. Yeah I said it. Whatever.
These jeans had a comfortable waistband (No digging, no gapping) and were the perfect cut to wear with high-heeled boots to work. I really like them, but after wearing them once, I found they had a little to much stretch. So at the end of the day, they were too bulky. I am going to return them for a smaller size.
In the mean time, I have not been able to get the second pair of jeans out of my mind. They were a wider cut, Merona, Trouser denim jean. Classy, and cute. So I went back for them last night. And bought them. IN A SIZE 12. This is such a great non-scale victory for me! I was so happy, and I have not been a 12 in...pshhhhhew....3 years? My wedding dress was a 12. The shorts I wore on my honeymoon were 12s (2007) but one year later on our anniversary cruise to the Caribbean (2008), I wore a size 14. It has just helped my attitude toward my Weight-loss adventure, and proven to be another push for me.
Anyway, enough about my pants. I hope you all have a wonderful Friday, I am. I got up early and tried Jillian Michaels's new "Shred it with Weights" Dvd. I did it with a 10lb kettlebell and I really enjoyed the workout. Its quick (30mins) but in the first 5 you will feel the sweat start to move. I also added 3 mins of plank rotations to the end of it. I am also having an amazing hair day, and while some systems are struggling at work this morning, I have nothing but high hopes for today. I am celebrating Christmas tonight with some Veggie Pizza, and amazing company, in the form of a long lost friend. I haven't seen this girl in far to long, and I am looking forward to some girl talk.
Have a fantastic weekend, and see you all on the flipside!
*"Power Foods are determined by the energy density of a food as well as the nutrient content of a serving of food. We combined foods into categories, for example beef, cookies, yogurt, and ranked all the foods in each category using a proprietary formula tailored to the category. (Some categories, such as cookies, do not have any items that make the cut.) The foods that rose to the top of the list — based on the lowest energy density, as well as being low in fat, saturated fat, sugar, sodium, (depending on category) and/or fiber — are determined to be Power Foods. They are the healthiest and most filling choices within a specific category of foods" Taken from WeightWatchers.com

Great job on the drop in pant size! That is such an amazing accomplishment & it's really more rewarding that a drop in numbers because it just makes it so much more REAL. Awesome job, momma.
I think non scale victories are waaaay better than scale victories! awesome job on the new pant size {I can't get past the 16s?!} and I'm glad you're enjoying your WW class!
