Pardon My Dust: Not new.......AGAIN. SQUEEEEEELLLLLL!

My friends, I've been to the mountain top, and I'm on my way back down.

But this is a great valley to be in.

I hit the peak weight...

...and am now sliding downwards.

FLIPPIN' FINALLY!

And today...

...after being down 25.9 pounds down from my highest weight...

...I mustered the courage to try on a pair of (non-stretchy!) jeans

that haven't seen the light of day in over 2 years.

And they slid right on.

Talk about starting the day with a smile.

So, when my husband gets home tonight and asks me if this is a new pair of jeans, I can say,

"not new....just again."
