As I was sorting through my stuff it got me to thinking about rings. I have always wanted to wear rings but being wearing a Size 13 ring only gives you a very small selection and most of them are designed for men. I have decided that one of my Smilestone treats will now be a ring. I would like to get it as a symbol of making it to Onederland which is 63 lbs. from now. I will start looking for one and let you all know what I decided. It most likely will be silver though because that is what I wear and what my budget will allow. Until next time...
I love my silver rings - I have very pale skin and gold looks bad on me. I have loads with various inexpensive, semi-precious stones in them. The bigger the better! I think I'm about a size 8 or 8.5 (UK equivalent is Q or R) but I can get down to an O (size 7) at my slimmest - I have very large hands with long fingers. And don't let's even talk about my feet - US size 12! Enough said..! At my biggest I needed a size V-and-a-half which I think is a size 11 and rings in that size were pretty limited, so I can understand why you're finding it tricky to get a nice one. :o( I definitely think a treat like that would be justified once you get below 200lbs. :o) That's my (interim) goal weight, so not sure what I'll reward myself with once I get there!

I love silver. Can't wait to see what you choose. Speaking of rings, my goal is to lose weight to get back into my original wedding set!

ReplyDeleteI bought one of these....I think it very appropriate!
Love the ring idea - that's what I did when I reached 50 pounds lost (I call it my "50 pound ring") - I still feel so proud every time I wear it. Can't wait to see what you choose for your special ring!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful idea for the ring cannot wait to see what you chose as well. As for the not eating stellar that is alright I am sure that you have burned alot of calories, I know moving boxes lifting and unpacking and putting things away can burn a hefty amount of calories.
ReplyDeleteI love term Smilestone!
ReplyDeleteGreat Smilestone gift! I have always had fat fingers, even when I am thin.
ReplyDeleteI like that you call it a smilestone!
hehehe, guess what
ReplyDeleteThat half a piece of cake I brought home was divided into two pieces, had one today and will have the other tomorrow...now that's being good hey.
I love rings and what a good feeling when I had to take mine in to be made smaller...
Go get that ring girl...goooooooooooo!!
I understand completely! My DH is going to have to replace my silver Thistle ring as it's now WAAAY too big for me!
ReplyDeleteYou'll make *one*derland in no time!
Terrific idea!
ReplyDeleteMy dh is going to have my wedding ring redone for our 10th anniversary & I can't wait. I haven't worn them in about a month because they slip off too easily for around the house (cleaning, constant hand washing, baking bread) & it bugs me.
Tina - I love that ring! What a terrific choice!
Have fun shopping around Katie!
What a great idea and reward for yourself. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think that's a great reward for hitting onederland! Whenever you look at it on your finger you'll be reminded of your accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great reward for yourself. :)
ReplyDeleteWell that's weird I swear I commented earlier today. Oh wellll....Anyway I'm thinking of getting a tattoo for hitting Onderland. I've always wanted a ladybug on my foot and recently I saw some UBER cute henna looking tats and I'd like to work the ladybug into that.
ReplyDeleteI love your reward. I have got to take my rings to get resized, thanks for the reminder :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great reward for yourself, I know you will get there, and I can't wait to see what you choose.
That is an awesome goal!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic gift to yourself for onederland!
ReplyDeleteI haven't worn my wedding diamond/band or my mom's ring in years. I miss them, too.
such a great idea. :) i wear/wore a size 10. all of my 10's slide off my fingers. I'm guessing I'm closer to an 8.5-9 now. I have this silver ring my grandma gave me for christmas 2 years ago that is a 7 (and they weren't willing to size up anymore than 1 size, if that). I keep it on my dresser and periodically try it on to see if I'm making any progress in getting my fingers smaller. I can get it past my knuckle, but that's about it (its getting closer). I tried it on yesterday and almost got it stuck ON. Haha!
ReplyDeleteBe sure to post what you end up getting :) You can do it!
Hey Katie! I love that you call them your smilestones. :) Great idea with the ring! So I notice all this activity about the Bugg on your site, but I can't seem to find a post where you explain what that is. Can you direct me that way... I'd love to find out more! Keep up the good work and don't forget to post Wednesday Fall into Fitness Weigh-In!
ReplyDeleteahh, wait, I found it in "The skinny". :)
