For my birthday present, DH took me out today to do some clothes shopping, since my clothes are getting too big for me. I have been looking forward to this, mostly just to see exactly what size I am into at this point.

First on the agenda was to stop and get some running shoes. I'm all set now to start training seriously for that 1/2 marathon....as soon as the weather cooperates!

We then went to Gordon Biersche Brewery for lunch, and then on Coldwater Creek and J. Jills. At Coldwater Creek, I didn't actually, buy anything, but I did try on both size 6P and 4P jeans. The 6s fit perfectly and guess what! I could get into the 4s and fasten them! They were tight, but not uncomfortable! OMG! This just amazed me!

Off we went them to J. Jills, where I gathered up some tops, and again, tried on size 6Ps and 4Ps and again, the size 6s were great, and the size 4s weren't that much of a problem either! I KNOW I am going to be in size 4s by the end of the summer or not sooner!

This is absolutely amazing to me! I have never worn a size 4, not even when I was at my thinnest when I traveling back and forth to India a couple of times a year, let alone at age 45! Yowzaaa! I am getting fit, lean, sculpted and svelt!

Forgive me for emoting here, but I am so proud of myself! I am not bragging, just bursting with pride and happiness and amazement and had to share!!! :D Age 45 and in the best shape of my life! Oh yeah!!!
Jan

Jan! That's wonderful!! Congrats!! You deserve to brag about that :) I know how exciting it is to get in a small size....I think I'm at my smallest now too, and getting closer to another size down. Sounds like it was a great birthday shopping spree. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to meet the size 4 version of you at convention in October ;)

Sounds like a fun birthday gift. Congrats on the smaller size -- well done! Do you find yourself looking in the mirror thinking 'I'm looking pretty good'? :D (you should - sounds like you deserve it).

Yay for you. Well done.

LOL Mary Elizabeth, I do! How did you guess! I suck in my gut and turn side-ways and say, I'm going to look like that pretty soon. :D

I also like admiring the muscles I have in my arms now. I am even starting to see my anterior deltoids, thanks to ChaLEAN Extreme! ;)

What a great birthday!!!!! You just cant' go wrong with getting into a size 4. heck, at this point I'd be happy with a 12.

The BeachBody stuff came and was waiting for us when we got home today. First thing on my agenda tomorrow morning. Reading through it all tonight, then a nice long sleep, then exercise before church tomorrow. You really have inspired me.

Jan, that is wonderful news and you deserve to brag about this. I'd be psyched too if I was a size 6. I'm just looking forward to getting into a size 18 once again. Jenny Craig here I come.
