Hard work pays off

I was doing a beach body program called P90 back in the fall but my headaches got to bad.   I wasn't moving very much at all.   Over several months they slowly improved.   I started back just doing the warm up portion of the work out.  It felt good to be doing something again but I thought that I had lost all progress.  

Then we finally bought a new treadmill.  The last one I wore out several years ago  Those things will only go so many miles.   It really felt like I was back at the start line.   Fat and way out of shape but then I started running.   I realized that I still had something.  

Then in comes a beautiful day 80F.  I couldn't stuff my body into heavy jeans and a sweatshirt.  I decided to try on a sun dress.   Dragon had bought this Dress in the fall.   It was too small when he bought it back in September.     He purchased a large because the other Dress I had ordered from them was baggy.

I put it on.  Just for giggles, prepared to be disappointed.   I have was so sure that it was going to be tighter than ever.

IT FITS!!!!

So I did yard work in a pretty sun dress.  It felt so good to see real progress.   The yard is picked up just in time for another cold front and I see proof that the pounds are melting away.  

Dragon decided to reward me. He ordered me another dress and a shrug to make them church appropriate.   They won't kick a lady out for showing off her shoulders but it is frowned on.

Today it is cold again.  From sun dress to snow suit.   Okay,  it isn't that cold yet but I am back in the south.  I like the warm weather.   Shivers. Jeans and a sweatshirt for church this morning.  Not appropriate but I refuse to freeze in a dress.   I am sure God understands.

    1. It was very cold Sunday. Sleet and freezing rain. No dress for me. Not in this weather. Hope you are warmer. Our wind chill is in the single digits. Shivers

  2. That is so exciting the dress fit! And it's cute too :-) We were super warm today and got to play in a sundress a while. Tomorrow comes the snow. This winter!

    1. Thanks. I can't wait to get the new dress. It takes a few weeks. No snow here. Just nasty ice. Mother Nature really needs to play nice with Jack Frost. I am tired of them fighting.

    1. I love the look on his face when he saw it. I almost have enough dresses now that I won't have to wear jeans this summer. Yeah

  4. Oh Rose...how awesome that lovely dress fits! And getting another one! We got lots of snow today with below zero wind chills and are due for another 2-3 inches tonight with sub zero temps and negative double digit wind chills but should be in the 40s by the end of the week. I swear...Mother Nature must be going through menopause! LOL

    Keep up the healthy exercising!

    Hugs and Blessings...

    1. That explains the hot and cold flashes! Very cold today and nice by the weekend. I am thankful that I have the treadmill now. I don't have to run outside. I can stay warm. Even watch a movie while I run. :-) one day at a time.
