Shoppers alert

One of the wonderful things that happen when you lose almost twenty pounds and a new season is approaching…you get to go shopping. And that is what I did today. Joe thought I'd have more fun by myself (and he was right) so I hit the big outlet mall near me, Jersey Gardens. I pranced around that place for a good four hours, having the most luck in the Ann Taylor store, and a few good finds in Banana. I do tend to go a bit overboard when I go shopping, but was very diligent to be smart about my purchases and make sure that the skirts I bought would match with more than one top, and visa versa. I think I did pretty well, and was happy to see that the sizes went from Large/Mediums to Medium/Smalls. A job well done this summer, if I say so myself. I ended up with three new skirts and three new tops. They all coordinate with each other pretty well. I also bought Joe a few things as well.

 

I am however very hungry this weekend, which I attribute to being very PMS and have fought very hard not to cheat. I haven't. I have realized how easily it is to go off my eating plan. If I give in to the temptation that is calling me in my refrigerator, "have an extra snack", or how about the one that says "go get an ice cream cone"…I will not listen. I will ignore. I wake up tomorrow feeling prouder for it. Next weekend the whole family is going on a one night cruise to "nowhere". I will give myself a break, and not over-indulge, but give in to a small treat for myself. It's been almost 4 months on Nutri-System, and I have really surprised myself how well I have done!

 

Anyway, today is the 26^th…tomorrow the 27^th….that means we are officially in double digits! Till tomorrow…..
