Monday Moments

Pam can you PM me and let me know which Goodwill that you hit? My Mom and I meet in the middle sometimes and are always looking for good resale shops to hit.

Good morning everyone!  Drinking coffee this morning (and probably rest of the day).

QOTD:  I spent the weekend at my daughters' place.  My first ex was here doing some "honey-do" list stuff for her (electrical work).  My son and his friends went to a concert at Joe Lewis and spent the night here Sat night before heading back home on Sunday.  Sunday I spent the day with my mom and sister, did some thrift store stopping and went to the Birch Run Outlet mall.  Found a couple of good deals.  Sun night just vegged with them and watched TV.  It was a fun weekend.

Today is a "relax" day..........

OMG Jody I was in Burch Run on Sunday too.  I stopped on my way home from Stev'es house to get a pair of jeans because mine were getting big.  I wanted to just to stop real quick into Old Navy and get back on the road.  I ended up staying there 2 hours because they were having a huge blow out sale and I was finding shirts for $2-$3 !! 

And the best part is I walked out with a new pair of Size 6 jeans!!!!  That was thehighlight of my weekend since the pair I had gone in to replace were a size 10!

 

Wow - congratulations on the size 6's!!  I didn't know they had an Old Navy there! 

I was glad it was't very busy - we just kinda drove around and pick and chose which stores to go to.  I stopped at the Levis store because I have some 512's I just LOVE - and they don't carry them anymore!  Why does that happen to me?  LOL - seems you find something you just love and they quit making it!!

 

Jody, did you have your TT?  How'd it go?

Thanks Jody!  Hey, when is your TT ?   I love your new Avatar picture! 

I know what you mean about finding a pair of jeans that you like.  I have this one style at Old Navy that seems to fit my body/shape so I tend to buy that style only.  I need to take the time and try some other brands and styles on now that I've lost weight because I'm sure I could find others that I like, just never took the time yet.

 

What a great WOW moment Nan.  Size 6's is just a pipe dream for me I'm afraid.  I'm in 10's comfortably now.  I've got 27 more pounds to lose, so if I hit my goal, maybe I'll see 6's too.
Went shopping Saturday with a couple of gals.  I'm finding I like shopping now.  Never have liked it, but now that I can find so many things that fit, and look good to boot, I'm really enjoying myself.

Thanks Jan!  Yeah I was happy.  I also bought two size 6 denim skirts.  They are adorable.  I am just like you.  Hated shopping before.  My sister's and sister-in-laws are all shoppers, but me, I like going in, getting what I need, and getting out.  But now, it's a different story!!!  I think I could shop for clothes for hours!

I sent you a PM - I finally figured out how to load the pics of 'the little black dress'. :-)

Just drank a cup of protein coffee for the first time.  Not too bad!  Back from the gym.  I am up to 50 min cardio with all kinds of strength, flexability and balance training too.  Tomorrow my personal trainer has me starting weights on Tues & Thurs for my arms.  I weighed in at 213.7 here this am but since I am in a Spring Meltdown Challenge at the gym I had weigh in today.  I am going to use their scale from now on since mine is always higher than the doctor and the gym.  They had me at 211!  So I lost those 6# I gained last week.  I am back where I was.  Now to get those numbers moving back down.

QOTD-I hit the gym 4 days last week and did an outdoor walk yesterday since I can't get to the gym on Sundays.  That is a major accomplishment.  I used to go to the gym in Oct but it was so few times.  So basically this is the start of my 2nd week of exercising.  I am impressed.  My trainer and I were both surprised Sat when I was practicing stretching how flexable I am.  I just reached out and grabbed my toes without effort.  I shocked myself.  Now if I was a little more balanced...but that will come.  I loved the weather too. My church is 30 min away so the drive was nice.

Morning All,

I dropped my son off at his girlfriends house today.  They have no school today or tomorrow.  The kids are enjoying their long weekend.  I went to bed early one night and told my oldest to put the youngest to bed at 11.  The next morning I find out that the oldest fell asleep and the youngest stayed up until 3:30 in the morning.  He has never done that before. 

QOTD:  My highlight was last night.  I was at work, in the break room, and one of my friends was going home.  I would consider her to be a "normal" sized person and we found out we had the same coat.  I laughed and jokingly said that's not my coat is it.  I knew it could not be because mine would be to big for her.  She reached into her pockets and pulled out my keys.  I felt so good.
