I swear the weekend goes by much too fast! Although the weeks seem to be zooming by too! I did go shopping a little bit yesterday. I needed a couple of cool cotton shirts - it’s starting to warm up here in Northern California. I did not have to go the large women area to buy my clothes! No more 1x (what the hell kind of size is that anyway?) YEAH! I bought one top that was XL and one that was L. I was very happy about this. I also was able to fit into my Liz Claiborne size 14 skirt I bought on sale a couple of years ago without trying it on and have never been able to wear it. It was a good feeling. I try not to get bogged down by how much weight I still have to use because that is depressing. Instead I think about what I have lost and feel good about it. I noticed my feet don’t hurt anymore. Poor feet used to to ache by the end of the day. The little over forty pounds I have lost I am sure has helped.
I am going to go and read yesterday’s paper. I read today’s and Friday’s. Now to find out what happened yesterday…
Last week was stupid busy and I am glad it’s over. We went to see Ironman yesterday. It was good. I ate some popcorn with butter. It was good but I didn’t need to eat a whole lot to be satisfied. That was a good thing.
Good night my fair ladies. Sleep tight and don’t let the bedbugs bite!

Wow, congratulations on buying those new tops not in size 1x and on fitting into that skirt. I would be on cloud nine for that!
You’re doing so well! Sounds like you had a relaxing week end, hope the week to come is not too busy.

Yu have come such a long way dear…I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!! You sound so much happier than you used to too! Congrats on getting into that size 14 skirt!!! I ALWAYS knew you could and would find the right weight loss program to fit you. See that is where many people go astray they try to fit into all these programs when the key is to find and make your own fit. Almost all these programs are generic it is up to you to make them fit your needs. Nothing wrong with tweaking a program and you seem to have found the one that “fits” you perfectly!!
Keep up the great progress and the positive attitude!!
Hugs,
Judy

Congrats on the new clothes. Isn’t it exciting to get into a different size.
40 pounds is a lot of weight girl, if you don’t believe it go and pick up a fourty pound bag of potatoes and walk around with it all day. You are amazing
