Did I exercise? Not in the traditional sense of the word. LOL Did I do heavy lifting? Yes! Did walk? Yes! Did I clean out my closet? Oh, Boy Howdy, did I clean out my closet!
All my 5x and 4x clothing...Gone! All my 34's through 26's gone! Well, a few 26's that I can still wear for a little while. My closet poles are now breathing a huge sigh of relief to be out from under the burden of all that weight. My husband said we had more hangers than are for sale at Wal-Mart. They are hanging there waiting for new stuff. It'll be a while though because I don't want to buy much until I get to goal.
The very most exciting part? When I was wearing all those clothes, they looked "normal". Now they look huge! Clothes that used to look like Barbie clothes don't seem so small after all. The changes in my body are out pacing the changes in my head, but the ol' brain is catching up. I finally do believe that soon, all my clothes sizes will begin with a "1" and there won't be an "X" in sight.

I just wanted to say congrats on your cleaning out the closet!!!

And you're coming over when to help me clean out the ultimate closet: my garage? 
I didn't do a traditional work out Sunday either, but did lots of errands, yard work, cooking healthy stuff for lunch and house cleaning. I ended up with about 12,000 steps on my pedometer--Yay!
Congrats on having to ditch the old, too-large clothes! I know that must feel incredible! Can't wait to follow in your footsteps (I'm getting close as my stuff is getting pretty baggy!)
Anybody else get off their duffs this weekend?

<------- Hangs head in shame! Girl, I got stuff in our garage that I haven't unpacked since we moved from Colorado in 1997! Now I finally see some hope that I'll have the energy to tackle that next. Your ultimate closet can be next, OK?

HA! You got nothing on me! Did you bring electric and phone bills and years of cancelled checks from Colorado with you and have them sitting in boxes in your garage?
I have so much junk paper from the last 10 years of my life, it's insane! Why I brought it with me is beyond me. I guess I was instilled with my dad's paranoia of identity theft. Paper is the bane of my existence.
I just need someone to babysit me when I clean out my garage. I get Ooh Shinyed way too easily and find myself somewhere else in the house doing something totally different. Hmm. How did I get HERE??
My attention span is not particularly focused.
Anyway, I'll wait my turn when it comes to closet cleaning. Sigh.

Speaking of shiny... perhaps some of that junk has turned into diamonds. You'd think that would motivate me. I'm not sure but I think the last time I was out there I found a box of individual peanut butter servings. At least that's what the box said it was. I got my heavy duty rubber gloves and put it in a red hazardous waste bag. Yum! Aged peanut butter!
I hear you about having a baby sitter. Those trips down Nostalgia Blvd. get long and winding.

It's terrible! An adult needing to hire a babysitter to keep me on task! Sheesh.
I don't think I have found a box of peanut butter packages, but I did find my box of baking items about a year after I moved. Yeah, it was bad. I had to throw away my favorite rubbermaid canisters because of their contact with mouse doody. No one else would know I baked a cake with flour stored in them. But I would. Dang.
I'm sure there are worse things out there that I simply haven't unearthed yet. If I were a brave soul, I'd post a picture of the nightmare closet in my guest room. It's the black hole that all my computer accessories goes into. And where I shove all the junk that is on the futon bed that came from the dining room table because company was coming over and I had to clear the table.
Ooh, it's bad.
