The diamond that's this girl's best friend

I've lost another pound in the last 2 weeks, and while I'm very excited to tell you that I've dropped almost 2 pant sizes, something even better has happened.

I had to take off my engagement and wedding rings when I was 7 months pregnant with the Princess, and haven't been able to fit them on since. (That's pushing 5 years for those that need help with the math!) Countless people have told me to just get my rings re-sized, and Hubs was threatening to pawn them if I didn't, but that would have felt like accepting the weight as permanent and mine. I wouldn't have been able to blame it on the babies anymore.

But! Pa-dah!

Hmm...looks like I oughta get those babies cleaned and polished....and what's with those red and chapped dishpan hands? Winter, begone!

GREAT!!!! What lovely bling, and so glad you can show it off again!

Yeah, I have hands like sandpaper; that's why I've been camouflaging them with the blue nails as a distraction.

Good for you Bad, the incredible shrinking woman!

Two dress sizes!! That's awesome!

And if you find anything for the dishpan hands let me know! (Oh and don't tell me a dishwasher because I have one of those but I still have the dry chapped hands.)

You go girl! YAY! I'm so proud of you. And dishpan hands mean you're a "real" woman:)

get a toothbrush (soft) and scrub the rings with some toothpaste. Will help bring out the shine. Just make sure you rinse them well.

and YEAH for weight loss!! Woo hoo!!

Nice to have your bling on again! Good thing you didn't get them resized.

Congrats on the weight loss, you must feel great about it.

Unknown said...

It's a wonderful thing. Totally understand you not wanting to resize. Now pop into the jeweler's and get them polished up!

Jennifer said...

Woohoo! Good for you.

(I've been putting on pounds of lotion this winter. My hands are still dry and chapped. Grrr.)

Toni said...

Yay for you! The wedding ring is one of my own goals. I'm sure it feels like a real accomplishment to have it just slide right on. Congrats!

Wearing your rings again, now that is something exciting, congrats!
