Another wow..on the same day!!

Aug 28, 2010

So, after my big walk today, I decided to go into town for a bit by myself.  Doesn't happen all that often, as I usually have 4 kids in tow..and sometimes the hubby too!  But I wanted to go to a particular consignment shop to see if I could find a couple things for Fall.  I found a pair of size 20 gray cords and 4 blouses in size 2x.  All my current clothes are 26, 24, 4x, and 3x blouses.  I fiugred well I would have to lose a bit more. But in another month these things might fit me well enough to wear in public.  I know the cords are a little stretchy, but I thought what the heck lets try them on and see how far off I am to fitting into them.  OMG!!!  They fit perfectly!!!!!  Now let's hope they aren't too big by the time the weather is cool enough to wear them in public!  I can see that this whole clothing thing is going to be interesting!  So I tried on all the blouses and they fit also.  Two of them I will be happier with when I lose about 10 more pounds though.  I think I am going to have fun with the consignment and thrift store shopping for awhile.  I know from my husband's experience, there's no point in buying anything full price in the next several months.  So yay...a big shock that everything fit! 

Also, while I was out I bought some new nail polish and a couple makeup items.  Just a small gift to myself for weighing in at 259 today!  That means I have lost 30% of my excess weight.  Each time I hit a new goal I am treating myself to something.  The next goal will probably take awhile to reach and I plan to treat myself to something a little nicer...maybe a new hairstyle.  Not sure yet.  I bought myself a new Vera Bradley purse when I hit the 20% wt. loss goal.  

Well, enough rambling.  Back to my plan to not blog again until after my appt. on the 10th.  :0)
