Week 5 Weigh In

Week 5 down! Much better week than than last week!

Down 2.2 lbs! Total Loss = 9.6 lbs

Highlight of the week. -
 A few months ago all my pants were fitting to tight. So what is a girl to do.
Go to your husbands drawer and pull out a basically brand new pair of his pants, because he insists on only wearing three pairs of pants. The ones with a few holes, the ones with that one hole and the ones with a lot of holes for work. Side Note: what happened to the man I fell in love with that wouldn't even leave his house until he spent two (yes almost 2) hours applying gel to his hair and getting all the wrinkles out of his shirt?
I pull his jeans up and oh what's this I can't get them past my thighs! Oh my god....My husband wears smaller pants than me! I was so upset I actually started crying. That was my breaking point. I knew I had to do something I knew I had to get back into shape, because even if Danny wasn't saying it to me I am sure he was asking himself "Where did that girl with the size 4 waist go that I married." Granted if he said it to me 1. he would have a black eye and 2. I would point to Thing 1 and Thing 2 (affection little nicknames I just gave my girls). But I know that in some ways just like Danny I have started to let go of myself a bit.
When I think of where that could lead (not talking physical looks here) its scary. Diabetes (or as Misty refers to it "the sugar") runs in my family. It was a main cause of a lot my grandma's health problems and I couldn't imagine having to live with that disease. 
So here I am this week. 7.4 lbs litghter and I noticed my pants were really starting to feel baggy. So I have no smaller pants and money is tight because it's a big birthday month so no new jeans for me. What to do? Go to your husbands drawer. Now when I opened the drawer I felt that pain of pulling those jeans up and them sticking at my thighs. I almost shut the drawer right there for fear that I would lose my mind if I put these on. Would all my hardwork pay off (to wear his jeans?!?!)? So I took out a simple cute pair (yes Danny has cute jeans) and pulled them on. No effort was needed they pulled right on. I AM SO HAPPY I CAN WEAR MY HUSBAND'S PANTS! And tried on pants at the store to hint to my mom what she can buy me for my birthday and I now am back down to a size 8. Coming from 6 months ago when I was in a 14. I am pretty happy about this victory.
