Towel Joy

Those who have always been thin or fit can stop reading right now. I promise, you can not relate to this post.

I had something exciting happen the other day. I was out of bath sheets (giant towels that are soft and wonderful to wrap up in) and had to pull a standard towel out of my linen closet. When I got out of the shower and dried off I wrapped the towel around me. Do you know what I found out? It closed!! I was completely decent, no hip peeking out, no diagonal towel that closed at the top and had a big gap at the bottom. It has been a while since I used a standard sized towel. So, I don't know when this happened, but I am strangely thrilled by this development.

other exciting developments:
- I can do more than 10 pushups
- I weigh less than I have since Kevin has known me
- I have muscles, you can feel and see them
- The smallest clothes I own are out of the under bed storage and on my body

Christmas Break

Well, vacation has flown by. The first week was spent in the holiday whirlwind and we have been low key and not feeling well this past week. We all return to our regular schedules tomorrow. I know Kevin would prefer not to be sick (or deal with us sick) over his vacation, but I think he has enjoyed me not wanting to do anything for a few days. I am so ready to feel better. Kevin and I did manage to stay awake to see the ball drop.
I decided to do a a 365 project this year. I will be posting a picture a day. My goal is to experiment and try new things with my camera. I am not off to a great start since I was low on energy yesterday, but I am confident this will be an enjoyable project. If you want to follow you can do so here.

No resolutions over here for 2012. We are doing well on our 2011 fitness programs. Kevin is doing great not smoking. I am so proud of him. It will be a month smoke free tomorrow. Yay!! I have lost 27 pounds and am antsy to get back to the gym when Corinne goes back to school this week.

Go State!
