It's making me crazy not weighing in today...
i really have to wait until Jan 5th? oy! LOL

so, since i can't weigh in today.. i will celebrate other things..
- considerable difference in how my clothes fit today.. love when that happens. Put my work uniform on and it's much looser than usual. i remember when this shirt first started fitting a couple of months ago and it was snug around my belly still, but i was so happy i could get it on, and now, it's actually loose.. *happy dances*
- last night, i sat on my computer chair with my feet on the chair and my knees up in front of me, and thought to myself - 'i've never been able to do this, omg..' ahh the small things *smiles*
- i can also cross my legs comfortably now, and love that i can..my legs are much more comfortable , no pains in them anymore, no swelling & even when i work long work shifts, i don't come home in tears and pain.. that's a great feeling!
- i have ankles now.. (sounds strange) but my ankles at one time seemed so swollen and big all the time, but now, my ankles feel ankle'ish! (laughing at my lack of words)

i just finished working my morning shift & walked home the long way.. i live 10 mins from work but i take another route which gives me a good brisk 30 min walk.. i'll take that way back to work this evening too. Getting ready to do my SparkPeople workouts , just need to get changed and get at it.. May do the Jillian workout DVD a lil after lunch as well! =) feeling energetic like crazy today!
