This is the good part of this journey

I had been given a couple of gift cards for The Avenue this year for my birthday.  Although I'm only 3.5mo out (I realize I'm not near where I am going to end up).  I had held onto these cards waiting for the right time (which equates to needing something special to wear).  While cleaning out one of my purses, I found my gift cards. I thought I would go get a pair of dress slacks.  They didn't have any that fit.  Size 16 too big in the waist, SIze 14 too small in the thighs etc.  Then it hit me, since I'm at their smallest size, I knew I had to use these cards now!  Bras were out of the question because their smallest was too big around.  BTW, I had not been in the store in a long time, the manager (who used to know me well), said "if it wouldn't have been for your hair, I wouldn't have recognized you".  So, she helped me figure out what would be the best thing to buy.  I opted for a pair of jeans and a hoodie jacket.  The jeans are skin tight Size 14 and the hoodie jacket was a 14/16.  It's been 11 yrs since I've been this size.  I am down 79lbs in a little over 3 months. 

I will pay it forward and when I they are too big, I will give them to a lady I work with.

I hope this gives the newbies (I'm still one too) something to look forward to!!!

Yeah! And the WOWs keep coming. : )

Thanks... It is exciting!    

How are you doing with this storm?

BTW, I finally picked up some FAGE 2% yogurt  I got the plain then added a little bit of Agave Nectar (based on the label, it would have added about 8 carbs with the amount I used).  I can handle it with the Agave.   I will be switching over to that.  I can add blueberries too! 

i like to ass sugar free jams to the yogurt or eat it with cucumbers.

What a great report! Good that you used up your gift card.  More fun is yet to come.
