New dresses

Posted June 11, 2008

I am officially on a mission!  We’re on our mini-vacation and the conference doesn’t start until tomorrow.  Except for a slip-up with brownies at my mom and dad’s (too yummy to resist) I’m pleased with my food choices.  We stopped at Red Lobster on the way and I had grilled shrimp and scallops, salad and broccoli.  I gave my croutons and rice to my hubby and didn’t eat a single cheddar bay biscuit.  Once we reached our hotel I went shopping at Burlington Coat Factory, my absolutely favorite store.  We don’t have one in our town so whenever we’re here I always go.  I bought about 5 or 6 super cute dresses in size 18-20.  They will be perfect for the beginning of the school year and I can’t wait to fit into them.  The cool thing is, a couple of them actually fit (meaning I can zip them up) but they aren’t pretty to look at right now.

So I don’t know how long it will last but for right now this is my motivation.  My hubby wanted McDonald’s and I wasn’t even tempted to get anything for myself.  Even if the rush wears off I’m hoping this will get me through this trip.  After I bought the clothes I went to the grocery store and picked up food for breakfast.  I have my tennis shoes ready to go to hop on the treadmill in the morning.  I just hope that everyone else in the hotel is a slug and doesn’t want to workout when I do.

    Hey hey, thanks for the comment :) I recently discovered 3FC and became obsessed with reading weight loss blogs. I didn’t think it was possible for anyone to resist a cheddar bay biscuit…i need to take a page out of your book. I also noticed that you turbo jam! Chalene and I had a falling out a few months back, maybe it’s time we reconciled. I look forward to reading more!

    Ahh, brownies, anything chocolate, my nemisis! You did great at Red Lobster though! I am planning on using clothes for my goal rewards. I was looking at some cute shirts the other day and realized that I had to face the facts. At my size, no clothes are cute clothes! I am really looking forward to being able to fit into some smaller things.

    Keep up the good work!
