weight loss

so today was spectacularly cool (because i can't tell you the last time i didn't have a day like that). and i'll touch on a really cool thing that happened while i was at work tonight: i weighed myself.

at the end of last summer/beginning of last fall, i weighed in at my highest i've ever been (seriously, topped at 150lbs). and i had a bet with someone to lose the most weight in two months. i won, but at the time that i won i had dropped maybe 10lbs. still good, but not what i wanted.

it's been a long time since i weighed myself because i've just been so busy. but lately my jeans have been horribly big. in fact, my mom noticed that i had been wearing a pair from high school (yeah, you read that right- high school) that um... had a hole in the crotch. not noticable unless it's pointed out, or you're folding them next to your mom, who points to the crotch and says "holy geez, those are the ones from high school! why are you wearing those?". since then, there's been a lot of discussion of her fixing the hole so i don't have to get rid of my trophy jeans. instead she made me buy a new pair that fit.

i think curiosity got to me, and i just had to weigh today. it had been so long and i can see a difference. so... i've lost over 20lbs since september. and i'm pretty proud of that.

that's my good news for the day. =)
