Size 8 and a fixed knee

HOORAY!!!! I bought a pair of jeans the other day and they were size 8, and they were not in the slightest bit tight! I understand that all brands fit differently but STILL! I haven't been size 8 since I was in High School. This is a big deal for me! Most of my shorts and pants are still size 10 but some of them are getting a little big. I never thought that I'd be smaller than a size 10 again after having kids, but here I am!! I am still 16 pounds from the weight I was when we got married but since I had ZERO muscle then I'm sticking to my original goal weight of 145 as my ultimate skinny goal. I'm still trying to get down to 150 before Hawaii (4 more pounds to go). But I am SUPER pleased with my progress! 20 pounds lost since April!!! Yay!!!

In other THRILLING news, my knee is fixed!! I ran 3.7 miles this morning in 35 minutes with ZERO knee pain. NONE! The past two times that I've run I've still felt a tiny twinge in my knee, no pain, but just a little tight from not running on it for over a month. And today, NOTHING!! It felt SO GOOD!! I am definitely not as fast I was but I'm getting faster with each run. I have to work a little harder to keep up the pace but that could have something to do with the fact that I'm just barely getting over a KILLER cold and am still pretty congested. But I am definitely going to go on my long run on Saturday. Not too far. I'm only going to plan on 6 miles but I'm hoping that I'll still feel good enough to keep going for 8. I am dying to get back on schedule for my training! But SO ECSTATIC that I can run again! Yay yay yay!!!! It's been a good day so far!
