Awesome shopping day!!

I went out to pick up a few more birthday presents for John. Well, I just happened to go by the consignment store that I like to shop at, and she had a bunch of end-of-season racks out, plus a storewide discount going on.

I got 2 exercise tops, one pair of running shorts, a pair of denim shorts, a pair of jeans, 2 shirts and a dress!! All for $50. Unbelievable!

And!!!! All the bottoms were size 10!!!! Except the running shorts which were an adult small – a freaking size small!!! Can you tell I am excited??

John absolutely loved the dress, too. It’s a black dress (he loves me in black), just above the knee and is a slip dress with a lace covering on it. I love it. And the dress was only $14! I am really loving clothes shopping now.

I had my first experience telling someone who didn’t know that I lost 100 pounds, too. I was chatting with the store owner about needing a new wardrobe, and a customer overheard me and asked how much weight I lost. I said 103 pounds and the stares were hilarious! You know that saying about jaws dropping and eye popping, well I saw that big time from the store owner, the customer who asked and another lady standing by. It was weird, exciting and embarrassing all at the same time.

So, when I get to goal, I think I might be around a size 8 when all is said and done. Pretty cool. From a 24 to an 8 (would be smaller without the loose skin, I bet).

Today is one of those days that I found radiance 🙂

New clothes!

I was down in Albany today having lunch with my sister. So I stopped at Goodwill on the way home. The pants I bought in January are getting loose on me already! Good thing they were only $4 a pair!
I hadn’t been to this particular Goodwill before. They do the stupidest thing. All the clothes are arranged by color instead of size!!
So all the jeans are just in rows, men’s and women’s together – for whatever reason. You need to go through each pair to see the size. Took forever. Same thing with shirts – again, done by color. Weird.
Anyhoo – I got 2 pairs of jeans, comfortably fitting into a 14!! Plus 2 tops (size medium) and a belt. All for $21 including tax. That makes me a happy camper!
Won’t go there too often, as it is a bit of a drive.
