Non Scale Victories

My 80lb bear arrived! I was so happy to see its fuzzy little orange face because I worked hard for this one. I laughed when I read its nametag because it was so appropriate for me at this point; Workout Bear. I'm really trying to get myself into gear so this bear is helping to keep me motivated. The past few days my whole family has been sick so I haven't been able to do the shred, but I'm planning to get right back on track as soon as I feel up to it again.

Now for my non scale victory! I've noticed for a while that my wedding rings have been very loose on my finger but I didn't really want to do anything about it too early in my journey because I figured I'd have to resize them again when I reached my goal. Today, I decided to go into the store where my husband bought them and find out exactly how many sizes I'd lost. I was thrilled to hear that I've lost three ring sizes! I think that means it's time to get them sized, and boy would I be happy to have to plunk down $40 and get them sized again when I reach goal!

Do you have a non scale victory to share with us? What have you noticed that made you realize that you've lost weight? Maybe your skinny jeans fit now, or you've had to buy new ones. Sometimes, the little victories are sweeter than the number on the scale.
