New jeans! (Take 2!)

My other new jeans that were pretty snug last week fit much better this week, and I thought it was time to buy another pair of short term "goal" pants, so I ordered the above jeans from Amazon today.  They were kind of expensive, but I noticed that I really like the way expensive things make me feel about myself, so I'm going with it.

After all, the better I feel, the more devoted I will be to my weight loss journey, right?  Right. 

I just found out my Mom is flying in to visit next week!  I'm so excited to see her!  She told me that she's not going to recognize me, which is funny because I just saw her 2 months ago, and I've only lost 30 lbs - I really don't think I look very different, but I'm sure she's THRILLED that I'll be that much smaller than the last time she saw me. 

I think I'll post some "before" and now pics shortly, so you can see for yourself.

I shutter to think of what your rendition of 'kind of expensive' is but a. you deserve to buy yourself nice/expensive things as a reward and b. you can afford it.

Kristen,

I am a weight loss gall too-Love your blog and I applaud you for buying new jeans for a short term goal.....While you're at it, throw out the old ones that are too big. I have been down the road you are on and boxing yourself into success definitely helps...and don't forget to buy FABULOUS workout clothes too!

Best wishes
