Default Success ... sort of

I left my home today to go and take my son to school. I took the bus there but decided to walk back. My pants almost fell off of me in the middle of the street because they no longer fit. I was shocked, embarrassed, but proud. Today was a good motivator for me to keep going.

That is awesome!! I have some capris that I bought just two months ago because my usual ones were too tight, and after just a week and a half they already are too loose, I'm loving it. Keep going!
