Like new to me

I am so happy, I have finally lost my pregnancy weight! OK, it's been gone for a couple of months, but I didn't feel happy about it because I still feel like I have nothing to wear and that I look bad in my clothes. Well today, I was going through some of the boxes I've been putting off going through since the move, and I found a whole tote box full of pre-pregnancy pants that I had forgotten all about!

I didn't take a lot of clothes when we went to Jordan, and when we came back I was pregnant and couldn't fit into my regular pants anymore, so I packed them up and I haven't seen these pants for over a year and a half! What is especially exciting is that most of these pants were fairly new at the time and are actually pretty cute. I had received a promotion about 3 months before I quit my job (to go to Jordan) and had been able to buy a few new clothes for work.

I really don't mean to toot my own horn, especially for anyone who is currently pregnant or may still be struggling loosing their own pregnancy weight, but I just finally had something that made me feel good about myself for the first time in a long time.

Now if I could just find a magical box of cute tops somewhere in my garage...nope I checked, there isn't one. Oh well, I'll take what I can get!!

On another note, I'm sorry about the lack of pictures, our camera broke right after we moved, so we've been using our video camera to take pictures, and it isn't compatible to hook up to our computer. I just need to take the memory card to a photo shop and get the pictures on a disc, but, well, I just haven't gotten around to it. Not much has been going on anyway. Except for Jonah getting cuter and cuter everyday. I'll stop procrastinating and get some pictures soon.

Congratulations. Not only on losing the weight, but on finding cute clothes in your garage. I lost about 20 pounds before I got pregnant and when I went looking for my old jeans, I found I had no cute ones. Instead I sat there thinking, "I worked hard to fit into this?" Good for you.

Hooray!!! I'm down to pre-pregnancy weight but NOT really fitting right into any of my clothes. Time to CRUNCH it all off I guess. I'm so sorry about your camera.

Good for you Katie for loosing the weight. It is always nice to find things that you haven't seen in a while especially clothing. It is nice that you can fit into them. I have lost my pregnancy weight as well, but my hips are wider now and I can't fit into some of my pants. Oh, well.

The book that I read was The Host by Stephenie Meyer. In my opinion, it was really good.

Yay for finding old/new clothes that fit great AND are cute! Sorry about the camera, bummer. We miss you around here and I'm dying to see some pics of Jonah. He must be getting so big now.

Congrats! That is a big accomplishment! Brag away and go get yourself a few new tops!
I've been prego so much the last five years I have no non-pregnancy pants to aim for. Enjoy!

That is wonderful! I wish I could say the same. Back on Weight Watchers for me. I hate to say my frame, even at my thinnest never went back to pre-pregancy, but oh well.

Now you have a good excuse to buy new tops!

Miss you!
