Size 10 jeans and tears in my eyes
November 13th, 2008
Yep. Size 10. Bought three pairs today. I am flying high on that.
Also, when I went into the department store with my nine-year-old daughter in tow to try on jeans, we entered at the “fitness clothes” section and had to walk through that section to get to the jeans, and she says “Mom, you should just buy your clothes in the sporty section,” indicating running pants and jog bras and the like. “That’s the kind of stuff you wear.”
And I felt inordinantly proud that that is how my daughter sees me, as a sporty, fitness-y type mom. Proud that when she saw the fitness and sports clothing, she sees that as “my style.” Silly, but in that moment it just really hit me that I am NOT the same person I was a year ago and I am so thankful for the changes in my lifestyle over the the last year. I literally teared up a little bit walking through the store thinking about it.

Awww. Good times.
One other thing to think about…come January 1 when the media is hitting the weight loss resolution topic hard, it will not hang over our heads like some infuriating incessantly nagging pestering dark cloud. It’ll be a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Better Sporty Mom than Sporty Spice, she always scared me! But how fantastic that she sees you as someone who is fit and healthy. I’m sure that will inspire her to live the same type of life.
And size 10’s!!! I would never take them off.

Wow, it’s hard to decide which of the things is best - being “sporty mom” or the size 10 jeans! I guess I’ll vote sporty mom, cause being sporty mom the 10’s will probably not fit for long!
Great job!
