    Success ... sort of

    I left my home today to go and take my son to school. I took the bus there but decided to walk back. My pants almost fell off of me in the middle of the street because they no longer fit. I was shocked, embarrassed, but proud. Today was a good motivator for me to keep going.

                            That is certainly a good embarrassement. I just hope that will happen to me sometime in the near future! WTG
