Visual Motivation

For the last few weeks I have been thinking about getting rid of my old pair of jeans that are too big now, but I loved them. I have a pair in my current size, exactly the same, but still. So today I actually decided to put the on because I had to wear some long johns to go out in the snow. I figured they were one of the only pairs I have baggy enough to allow for an extra layer underneith. I sure do love sliding them on and feeling them slide down! LOL. I had to sinch a belt on to keep them up, but they worked like a charm. Its nice to be able to actually SEE the progress made over the last few months. They used to fit me nice and tight, like a regualr fit with jeans. That was probably in June. Here they are now:



Probably a good 3-4 inches open in the front. Sometimes I feel like I havent made any progress. And then I see this. I know I still have a little way to go, but this really helps with motivation!

Being Christmas Eve, we went out and started a snowman! He is huge, lol. We froze our tushys off, but it was a lot of fun! Chase had a blast. We went out while Grace was napping. I think she is too little to really get to play in the snow. We are going to be making cookies later for the kids to decorate for Santa tonight. I cant believe its already Christmas Eve! Its crazy how fast this year went by. I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas surround by people they love!
