NSVs abound!
So many things happening this week!
First, I'm almost ready to say farewell to Lane Bryant! Woo hoo! I haven't been able to buy clothes off the rack from other retailers (non-Plus Size sections) in YEARS! I ordered some things from Old Navy since I didn't go out on Black Friday as planned (my friend was exhausted from hosting her first Thanksgiving!). I ordered a jacket, hoodie and jeans for myself, and a few things for my daughter. I tried on my jeans yesterday, and they fit almost perfectly! I know Old Navy jeans have a tendency to stretch out as you wear them, so after I wash them, hopefully they'll be fine. The jacket fits great--a little snug around my middle and hips, but it should fit better by Christmas.
Second, I found my bones! I've been noticing the last few nights that I'm getting a bit uncomfortable in certain positions. When I adjusted, I realized it was my hip bones and riblets!! LOL Maybe once I get to goal, we'll look for a new mattress.
Third, walking around is not so laborious as it used to be.
I took my daughter for a Holiday Stroll in a nearby town yesterday, and I was walking at my old brisk pace--not as brisk as high school, but brisk! No leg itchiness, no heavy breathing even though it was about 30 degrees and falling--I actually was TOO HOT once we got back to the car, and I'm rarely too hot.
I'm amazed everyday how much I'm able to do since surgery. I'm kind of kicking myself for not doing this sooner. LOL
