5 pounds

I did it.  Or, at least I think I did it.  I lost 5 pounds.
I've been holding true to my goal of "Do something every day - that is: {gulp} Exercise" since the first of January .  Every day I weigh myself...every day it hasn't really moved.  Maybe it will move after I take off my robe or shoes...but not significantly, until TODAY!

In my normal routine, I wake up & immediately step on the scale...SHOCK!  It was 5 pounds less.  Every other day, I'd use the bathroom, come back to weigh myself again & maybe loose 2 lbs (damned pee).  But not today - came back...still...5 pounds less.

I got off the scale, looked to make sure it was calibrated at the 0, got back on & sure enough!  5 pounds!

Wonderful husband has been looking at my skeptically over the past few days when I said I think I've lost some weight based on how my clothes fit.  I came to realize he had no clue that now working from home, I was holding true to working out.  I think I truly surprised him.
Now...to keep it going.  I need to fit into my shorts for a family vacation in 2 months, that will soon transform into 'a few short weeks.'  I'm not hoping for unrealistic glory, just that I don't have to pack all sundresses like I did for my southbound trip in December.

Sundresses may have made me look like I was getting dressed up, but the honest truth was that it was the only warm weather clothing that fit.  Man, that sucked...but I did look cute :)
