Workout Wednesday!

I really should just start calling this NSV Wednesday! I mentioned here that over the weekend we did some vacation wear shopping. What I didn't mention is that while shopping I tried on a few items in smaller sizes than I'm used to. And whaddya know - they FIT!!! I am officially in a size 10 pants/shorts. (was in 14 at the beginning of the year) And just to be sure I wasn't being tricked by a certain brand, I tried multiple brands and while some obviously fit better than others, they all fit. Not snug at all. I could walk and dance and sit and still breathe. I could even do squats in them (picture it - standing in the 3 way mirror doing squats) I accidentally grabbed a size 8 shorts and a small dress (it would be nice if stores that used hangars with sizes on them actually match them up with the size they are holding up). The shorts looked amazing on my butt and thighs but a little snug around the middle. The dress was fantastic but super short! I bought a few things and walked out of that store feeling amazing. It is so good to be able to see success. I also totally feel the success of my workouts. I am stronger and my endurance is getting better! I am even beginning to like my time on the treadmill. I have found that I work a little harder on the treadmill when I only listen to music instead of watching TV. I find that I start slowing down to pay attention to what's on the tv and that makes the workout less productive. Anyhoo, next week I'll do a review of the two Jillian Michaels' DVD's I've been doing. I LOVE them. Enough that I'll be buying them when we come back from vacation. After all, I can't keep them from the library for forever! Happy Hump Day people!! **doing the happy dance**
