I did the biggest happy dance tonight. If ya’ll would have seen me you would have stood there with creases in your forehead wondering what this momma was so happy about. It isn’t the biggest deal, but I can almost, almost, almost fit into all my beloved designer jeans. sigh. I am so close that I can almost taste my workout victory. The funny thing is, I really haven’t lost any weight. I have been let down the past few weeks when I have done my weigh-in, because I feel smaller and I can feel bones in places that haven’t been felt in over a year. I have been sticking with my spin class routine and I have to tell you I feel like an addict. My goal is to go three times a week, which has been accomplished for one week, I just gotta keep going! The best part about tonight was that I got my skinny jeans on, zipped and buttoned. It was just too bad my tummy flab was pushing up to make them an unsightly fashion fopaux, but you know I rocked it during my Josie grossy happy dance.
