Shopping addiction??

Apr 18, 2011

Anyone that knows me knows I LOVE to shop! Even when I was plus sized. I'd go out for HOURS not only looking for the cutes items I could find, but for the cutest items I could fine for a DEAL!

Now that I'm in "normal" sizes it's out of control! I expected this. I knew I'd enjoy shopping that much more once I had the luxury of shopping anywhere I wanted (wallet permitting).
Now, mind you .... I'm very thrifty. I went to Marshalls last week and got a pair of black capris (size 5) for $5, and from Dots I got 2 blouses each $7 and a pair of slacks for $9. SCORE!!!!!

Sales are like crack to me! Got a swimsuit at Old Navy for 60% off (pic in my "at goal" album). Flats from the Gap $15. Oiiii...... I can go on and on.

I tried on a Maxi Dress over the weekend as well. Now, I used to steer clear of Maxi dresses because they were so long and flowy and I always felt like I looked about 10 months pregnant in them. But, I figured I'd at least try it on. It looked ADORABLE!! (pic below) ... It also came in blue which I liked a little more.


I also found a pair of heels I really wanted (Madden Girl) for $20, and some jean capris. Yeeaaaaaaa...... Needless to say as my wardrobe expands my bank account cringes. Even when things are on sale, $9 here and $15 there tends to add up.
But, I'm choosy and try and only buy things I know I'll get a lot of wear out of.  BUT.... I love it! It makes me happy in the heart

In other news, my guy Mike joined a Kickball League here in Albany. I went to his first meet last week and they asked (read begged) me to join because they don't have enough girls on the team. So, I reluctantly and hesitantly said I'd do it! I'm super nervous because although it's just a game.... I'm not very coordinated for team sports. But, we'll see what happens. LOL wish me luck!

Speaking of Mike.... Him and I are doing really REALLY good. He makes me so happy.
We've decided to start doing P90X. I did the Plyometrics routine yesterday and could only do half. I was DYING! But, I figure (and Mike is helping me see the light on this) .... if people that are in worse shape than us can do it ... Then we can do it and not have any excuses! So, I'm just going to KEEP PRESSING PLAY!

I've been trying to eat well lately too. TRYING to cut back on my carbs again cause they just sneak right in there.

Anyways..... thinking of heading to Marshalls tonight after work. I saw a pair of Puma cleats there for $15. And if I'm on a kickball league I'll need cleats, right? LOL
