SHOPPING SUCCESS!
I have had a fabulous day yesterday. I went shopping! I first went to a motorcycle dealership. I think my 150 lb. reward is going to be a scooter. That will probably be next June or later, but its never too late to start learning about what's out there! I test drove a few scooters. WOW that was fun. I can tell you pre-op I would have never had the confidence to get on these things!
From there I went to the store to look for something to wear for a wedding I'm going to in 2 weeks. WHAT A THRILL. I have gone from a 6X to a 3X and wearing size 26 jeans! I feel great. I bought 2 skirts that look awesome on me and 3 tops to mix and match. I will wear the hell out of these clothes till I can't wear them anymore!
From there I went to DSW. You all have to know that pre-op I have worn only "sensible shoes" the kind a gramma wears. Well I found some sexy pointed toe shoes with a small spiked heel that felt great on my feet. I would have never risked it preop, I would have worried I could break the heel! All in all I am so happy today. It was so great to try on clothes and pick just a few things that fit. I feel terriffic, and when I total up 5 hours of shopping, it was a good exercise experience!

Is it fun to shop now or what!!??
I have gone from a stretched out 5x top and 36W jeans to a 2x/3x top and 26W jeans. I am so excited.
I have a wedding I am going to in a couple of weeks myself. I don't know if the budget will allow me to pick up a new outfit, but even so, I have some lovely things in the closet that will work just fine.
I am having a big yard sale this weekend to get rid of all my too-big clothes. I also put some of my hubby's stuff in the sale (he had surgery July and has lost 80 pounds), so we have about 200 items we are getting rid of! I sure hope my advertising pays off and people come buy this stuff!
Keep up the great work!
