Topic : 0 Joy - From the Success Show

 Its been awhile since I have been on, i have been getting my daughter off to college and my other kids into school and it has been a pretty full time situation. I am doing good at exercising and I am so excited . I had to buy new pants and was so sure I was going to be in the plus size 20 something or other. and since I am tall finding pants can be a challenge because for some reason the manufacturers think you are either short and fat or tall and skinny and no other combination of the two. Any way I went to try on some 18 w longs. they were too big =0) there was a ton of material and they were gapping at the waist. So I went to fine 16w longs. NONE!!  They had none at all. so I tried on some capris that were a 16 w and they fit pretty well. I was so excited! But couldn't find any pants after looking in two stores.

 so the next day I went to my son's football game and wore the new capris. and as the game wore on my pants were getting bigger and loser and falling off of me. I didn't think much of it.

But later that day I took my daughter with me to try some other stores  to find some pants and again no luck. But then my daughter got a great idea. One I would not of thought of because I was usually in the plus area. She went to the junior side and got found some 16 longs ( no wide) and we tried  some 18 longs too. I fit in them!!!! YEAA!!!  No more wide. Ya hooo!!! and I am in a plain 16 again. ya hoo!!!! So that is my big happy story. I have no idea what I weigh because my scale broke about 6 months ago and I haven't replaced it yet. but I know I am no longer obsessing about what I lost that day. Just kind of goinf with how my clothes are  feeling for now. I am walking and watching how hungry I am as a gauge too. =0)

Hope everyone is doing well and we can hear from those of us that are checking in and reading like I have been. I look forward to your posts and of course bren you are a constant =0)

 that is so awesome, you are doing so good, Keep up the fantastic work!!! I know that consistancy is the key and it will pay off big time, it already has for you.

 I had not been exercising for quite some time, and my blood pressure for the first time ever went to boarderline hypertension. I was shocked because my numbers have always been so great. SO  I got back into intermittent exercising. =0( I should be doing better at it/ But I took my blood pressure and it was just barely in the normal range again. But hey its inthe normal range again, and I also was getting winded with quick short walking... like from my living room to the bedroom. But since Ihave been some what sort of exercising again, I am not as winded anymore. ti is so surprising how much exercising really affects your body! And how much it really really affects it when you don't do any.

 so now I have a bet going with three other freinds. the one who exercises the least in the next two months buys the winner a round of bowling. Cool huh? I think it will be fun,andI need to get my butt off the couch lol =0)

  BRenda I am so glad you posted.... keep up the great work. I know I only get to post every once and a while any more either.

Love ya
