Happy New Year!!!

I sincerely hope that each and everyone of you had the best Christmas ever.

Things are going along smoothly here. The offspring are all home so I'm having fun feeding them and going shopping and other fun stuff. Tonight though Adam and I are taking a night to ourselves. We're going to dinner. Not sure yet where we'll go but probably our favorite Italian spot. After that we're going......

Shopping.

I actually do not like shopping however, I'm so very limited on clothes right now and there's a good sale going on today at Kohl's. And since I have a couple hundred bucks burning a hole in my pocket Adam is taking me to look for a few new things for work.

I gotta tell you... this whole weight loss thing is amazing. Would you believe I've even gone down a show size? I've been a size nine since I was about 13 but these days a nine falls off my foot. Today I bought a pair of size eights. Okay so call me stupid. It's taken me quite a while to figure out that it is okay to buy smaller shoes if that's what it takes for them to fit right.

As for clothes, I recently bought two pairs of jeans... SIZE TEN. Ten!!! Can you believe it? I'm in shock. I can't imagine going down any further... I mean, folks, listen to me here. I was in a size 26. 3X. HUGE. And now? I psychologically can't adapt to buying smaller clothes. For instance, I picked out a pair of flannel pj's the other day. (Leave me alone, it's COLD here) I had a size 1X in my hands. My family pitched a fit and made me buy a plain old large. I didn't think they'd fit. I figured I'd have to wait till I drop another 20 or so pounds. Ha! I wore them that same night. They fit great.

Sooooo... I'm still sifting and sorting clothes. I'm finally to the point that if it's too big, I'm okay with never wearing it again. And if I'm never wearing it again then there is absolutely no point hanging on to it, right?

Thus, Adam's taking me shopping. I have no clothes and what I do have my kids make fun of or find some reason to not like them. Christmas Eve ... my kids dressed me for church. I let them. They have good taste. I did wear a shirt that is my own but mostly everything else I wore that night belonged to offspring #1. Oh wait. I did wear my own underwear.

So anyhow, I'm weighing in a day early this week but figure that's okay because I didn't update the ticker last week .... mostly because I hadn't lost. I'm seeing a definite pattern here. I don't lose much at all for about two weeks then I drop 5-8 pounds like right now. Then I go through 2 weeks again of nothing. It's okay. I'm happy with it... and of course that's easy to say now when I've lost a bit every day for 3 straight days now.

Anyhow... Happy New Year!!! I hope it's a good one for all of us!!!
