It energizes me just to know I'm doing something about it. I have a better attitude. I have bumped up the exercising and it feels good. My sweats are looser as are my jeans. I am also taking more time with my appearance. Let's do this Christie.
ReplyDeleteI love your list! That will definitely keep you motivated :)
ReplyDeleteAww, Christie! I teared up a little... You know I <3 you, right? Congrats on your victories!!!! =D
ReplyDeleteI love this list! It made me misty and I just found your blog! I just might have to borrow the idea!
ReplyDeleteOh - and kudos to you for your humorous reply to the jackhole anonymous reply.
OMG, I so understand the make-up thing! I may write a blog just about it some time. I never was one to wear make-up, I don't really like it, but since I've lost 55 lbs, I thought I'd give it a try. I keep forgetting to put it on, though! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnyway, congrats on all your wonderful victories! One of my favorite ones is fitting into a restaurant booth with room to spare!

Aww! Awesome, awesome, awesome times 16! You're doing great, and what a huge difference it makes.
ReplyDeletewonderful inspiring list.
ReplyDeleteSo so true..I could identify with loads..I laughed out loud at the lying on the bed to get jeans to zip up...I've been there!
Me too with the no make up....I don't own more than one or two old bits and never were...you're right I should.
I loved reading your wonderful list...you sound so happy, so motivated, so thrilled with the results .....its infectious!
Well done
