The blogosphere has once again demonstrated it's kindness and usefulness to me. While I have been chronicling my recent weight loss you have all been so supportive in so many different ways. One of my Woolfcamp comrades, Debra Roby, has also shed some pounds in the recent months and has skinnied out of her size 12 jeans (pictured here).
Now, this is wonderful enough, mind you. However miss Debra has taken it one step further. SHE SENT ME HER PANTS! I arrived home from work one day last week to a wonderful package in my mailbox (don't you love when you get something other than bills and junk?). It was the traveling skinny pants.
Not only are these pants in the size that is next on my way down to a slimmer me, but they comply with my "no more Mom jeans" rule. They are a nice low-rise variety and they also have some stretch in them. PERFECT. I could feel the good karma that came with them as soon as I put them on....
So here I am (sorry the lighting isn't the best) in the skinny pants. A size 12...the size I haven't seen in about 6 years. I love them, and I will take good care of them until it is time to send them on to one of you. I hope to soon be holding out the waistband on these puppies just Debra is doing in the first photo.
In the mean time...I was on the treadmill EVERY day this week. I got my ass out of bed early and spent 30-45 minutes walking every day. It felt soooo good and I will be making this party of my daily routine...for life. I took Saturday off (however I did walk to my son's baseball game instead of driving), and today I'm going to fit in a good hour (I like to do the 5k program as a stretch day, something to push me hard).
I also hope to be posting our menu for the week later on today...so stay tuned. Busy busy day!
Lookin' good girl!!

Hey, those jeans look GREAT on you!! They look just like they did on my back in January? February?? Way cool!!
Now remember you have to build at least one (two?) rest days a week into that plan so your muscles can repair. (I love, love, love my Saturday rest days. And my Sunday workouts are the best!!)
Anxious to follow the trail of the travelling skinny pants.

Following my own monitoring, thousands of persons all over the world get the personal loans from various banks. Thus, there is good possibilities to find a short term loan in any country.

The business loans seem to be useful for people, which would like to organize their own organization. By the way, it is comfortable to get a collateral loan.
