But the good news is that I'm outta the 180s! I weighed this morning thinking I would pri gain because of how I ate on Saturday, but nope...it said <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">179.5</span></span>!!! :) So I met my goal to be out of the 180s by 12/31/08 over a week early and it feels great! The last time I was in the 170s was early 2007! And I'm getting to the point now that I'm in the skinniest pants in my closet! So I will have to do some shopping!<br /><br />Speaking of shopping, I earned my first reward! So my little sister & I went boot shopping tonight and I got my "180 Reward"....Chocolate Brown Ugg boots! Love em!! I know you can't really tell a big difference, but I posted another "progress picture" on the left. Notice I have my new boots on! :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7qv2EyRy_f0Hpa5sNHjQ5mdo8YbFC64IgyGUgT2P6pV7prbwY2usW1rZ14qXxr8JNjA8xQWkpwxYK7B_GUqCzS43pt3TuVPrRL6ixiugxFscYdw2RQ2naDFxOJqRCdf9iCblwiYZ2ky8T/s1600-h/DSC01480.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282994311674917250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7qv2EyRy_f0Hpa5sNHjQ5mdo8YbFC64IgyGUgT2P6pV7prbwY2usW1rZ14qXxr8JNjA8xQWkpwxYK7B_GUqCzS43pt3TuVPrRL6ixiugxFscYdw2RQ2naDFxOJqRCdf9iCblwiYZ2ky8T/s320/DSC01480.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" /></a><br />This is for <a href="http://heathersaloser.blogspot.com/">Heather</a>.
