14's!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can wear size 14 shorts!!!!!!!!!!

I stopped by Old Navy yesterday to return some things and looked at some shorts real quick because my size 18's were just looking yucky on me.  I tried on 16's and they fit great.  So I bought a pair of 14's also without trying them on.  I decided I wanted some goal shorts to keep me motivated.

I got up this morning and tried on my goal shorts to see how far I needed to go and THEY FIT!!!!!!!!!!  Buttoned up, zipped up, OMG!  I couldn't freakin believe it.

I was a little down b/c I'd weighed myself when I got up at 5am this morning and the scale actually went up to 193 (from 192) so I wasn't looking for them to actually fit.

You all know just how long of a journey this has been for me.  Unlike all of you, I haven't seen the early victories and instead its taken me much longer to feel this.  So, my body MUST be changing even though the scale isn't moving....

BTW - I ran my longest yet yesterday - 6.2 miles!  Today I scaled it back to 4.8 so I don't wear my body out.  I definitely felt it today after such a workout yesterday and I can tell I need to let me body recover a little bit.   I also ate some ice cream cake yesterday (the first high sugar sweet I've had in 3 weeks) at a birthday party and I definite felt a difference in how I felt.  My body like the clean eating and its an incentive to stay on it.  The sugar made me feel a bit sluggish and tired and just not as much energy as I've been feeling over the last few weeks.

Regardless, this feeling is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!  I like they way I look in those shorts!!!!
