I rang the Liberty Bell.

I rang the Liberty Bell.

a. I'm deep-green jealous!
b. "Rang"?! How do you ring a cracked bell??
c. Do tell the story!

[Wanderlust]

I was like 10 and walked under the rope and swung the clapper, hard enough to ring the bell and cause the Rangers to freak out.

I had dinner with Brave Combo.
They held a concert and my German Dancing team went to it. After they got done playing, most of the crowd had left, but most of the German Dancing team was still around. So, we all went to IHOP with Brave Combo.

Oh, and I tried on some old pants today. Pants that were a little snug in January. They're basically clown pants now. It's awesome.

Unfortunately, my brain still says "What happened to these pants???" instead of "What happened to my body???"

This is my favorite and most expensive part...lol. I put on some shorts that were only a month old and they were so gigantic that I thought I had grabbed an older pair with a 4" larger waist.

I went to buy shirts last week after wearing one that actually fit and found that I am now a size L, down from 2XL in January. Self image win.

To my SAD eating cohorts, the amount and frequency of which I eat bacon is ALWAYS brag worthy.

This too!

I wore a bikini in public. I still have a lot of work to do, but for the first time in a decade my stomach saw the sunshine. Tan tummy here I come!

People keep asking me what I'm training for at the gym... Literally. Everyday. Sorry folks, just training for being awesome and eating clean ( haven't said this, but maybe next time)

I used to run 65+K a week and lived off tangerines and chickpeas. I managed to get down to 170lbs (from 230) before my knees said, 'fuck you, I quit' and I ballooned back up to 205lbs.

Today I walk (in my sweet Vibrams) and occasionally lift heavy stuff and weigh 166lbs. And am still effortlessly losing weight (albeit slowly, but who cares?). I even took my shirt off at a pool party a few weeks back. Crazy.

I did 2 pull-ups last night. I used to be able to do ten, but 2 is better than the zero it was a month ago. On my way.

This one is vicarious - my husband and daughter went to Cleveland last night to catch NPR's Wait, Wait - Don't Tell Me show live... and got ALL the autographs... Mo Rocca, anyone?

And - Drew Carey was there, too!
