Winter Wonderland NSV

Oct 28, 2011

I woke up this morning to a chilly 41 degrees outside....IN OCTOBER!!!!  The weather reports are predicting a snow storm will move through our area...and we will have snow in October for only the 4th time in recorded history.  *SIGH*. 

So after I went down to the basement and dragged out the 50lb bag of salt and snow shovels, I decided to try on my winter coats.  I have about 4-5 NICE wool winter coats that I haven't been able to wear in about 2-3 years but I've REFUSED to give them away or donate them because I was determined to lose weight and wear them again.  THEY ALL FIT!!!  Every single last one of them.  I'm sooo excited! 

OK maybe I should explain my excitement here...I LOVE wintertime clothes.  I'm a coat, boot, bag, leather glove SNOB.  Seriously.  My coats, boots, and bags are matched based on color, style, and fit (no joke).  Certain coat/bag/boot combinations are only worn with certain outfits.  I am SERIOUS about my winter gear.  So the past 2 years as things have gotten smaller I've skimped and brought cheaper "filler" coats and HATED it.  I love Target as much as the next girl but their wool coats are cut funny and are not warm at all.  I would longingly look in my closet at my beautiful  coats that were too small to comfortably wear.  And as of this morning...I can wear them ALL.  A few are a bit snug, but I think by the them old man winter is really upon us...I'll be back to my regular ole coat/boot/bag snobbish ways.

Oh...and my weight this morning was 311!  I'm so close to 299 I can TASTE it.  I want it...and dayum it if it means going to zumba class 5x a week then I WILL break 300 before my birthday.  I've got exactly 30 days to do it.
