So long, old friend…
Happy Saturday buddies! Today I ran many errands with my handsome husband, and Walmart just happened to be one of them (Oh my goodness, I LOVE this place. Who doesn’t huh, LOL~) So just for fun, I decided to try on some jeans a couple of sizes smaller than my norm, and guess what? They fit me!! It was another moment of pure bliss in my life. Thank goodness we had gone to the gym first thing in the morning to work out, or perhaps they would not have fit ;-) And thank goodness for the inspiration of this sight and all my friends here, otherwise I may have given up earlier in my journey as I have many times before. Well anyway, when I came home, I started to go through some of my old clothes and fold them to give away to Goodwill. (Another great store that I love, by the way.) My husband sat on the bed and watched me for just a minute and asked if I would hold up one of my old favorite pair of jeans, and pose for the camera. I hate cameras…but that’s okay.
And hence…the picture of me that you see today. ;-) I think the smile on my face is permanent. I just can’t seem to get rid of it. LOL~
So Bob wants me to keep my old pair of jeans around, just in case we go to a football game this year, (GO BRONCOS!) and I might need more layers of clothes to put on and keep warm. Or who knows, maybe there is a pregnancy somewhere on the horizon for me, where I will need these pants again. But there is mainly another reason that I am going to keep them on my shelf - they will serve as a simple reminder of the waist I used to have, and to remind me that I never want to head back in that direction again. NEVER! I will never WAIST my time again abusing my body and not getting the important exercise that I need. ;-) Sound good?
Well, I will always love my old favorite pair of jeans, but truely I don’t love them that much. So up on the shelf you go. So long, old friend…;-)
And hail to new beginnings and to my buddyslim - the rockin’est site on earth!! Hope everyone is having a happy happy joy joy type of weekend. And if you’re not, there’s still time. Make it a good one!! Aloha Nui Loa~
