2. I'm FINALLY fitting into a size smaller pants.....haven't been in this size since high school/early college!
3. I won 2nd place in my weight loss challenge at work (out of about 80 people).
)
That is an AWESOME achievement. I bet it feels amazing. I'm still holding on to all sorts of clothes hoping that I'll one day fit into them again. I'm really hoping after the baby comes that I can get focused and get back into some more clothes!
6. A couple times over the past ~2 weeks I have worn only my wedding band and not my engagement ring, and several people have commented. I didn't realize it was such a big deal!
If it makes you feel any better, I hardly ever wear my engagement ring. My stone sits kinda' high and I'm always worried that I'm going to catch it on something and lose the diamond. Totally OCD, I know.
Re: **mardoll**
This was the exact reason I told DH he could not buy me a solitaire or high-profile ring! We got engaged kind of spontaneously, so we went ring shopping together, and I chose a low-profile 3-stone ring that I love to this day. He still makes fun of me for not wanting anything bigger... but that is the exact reason why!

Aw, thanks! Yeah, it feels pretty good to be down a size. I still want to lose a few more lbs, but I'm very proud of myself so far.
) I've definitely been holding on to a few smaller sizes hoping to fit back into them, so it's fun to try them on again to see how I'm doing!
I love wearing my ring set, but when I wear them together, I definitely am more conscious of it being on my finger all the time, which means I fidget with them (always making sure they are lined up and centered on my finger). I also hate when I wash my hands and I can't get it dry under there, haha. The two rings together fit more snug-ly than a single ring, so for a while I was enjoying just the one ring and how it felt so weightless on my hand. It doesn't bother me, I just thought it was odd that several people even noticed!
Both of these are also reasons that I just like wearing my wedding ring. I honestly really only wear my engagement ring on "occasions" like church, date-night, getting together with friends, etc. Honestly, when I'm sitting around the house I don't even wear my wedding ring. I think I'm strange.
We bought the set separate from the diamond and had them put together. When we picked out the set, I swear it didn't seem like the diamond would sit as high as it does. I actually like the look of it sitting higher, but it's just not as practical as I'd like it to be.
