Fun Shopping for Smaller Sized Clothes

Well, I have had several friends tell me I should start a blog so I am doing this upon request and I figure it will be good for me as well.  Since January 2010, I have lost 45 lbs.  I still have a ways to go but am feeling really good!  I have been following Leslie Sansone DVD's.  She is a walking guru! :)  Well, mine anyhow.  She is so uplifting and cheerful and a joy to walk with.  Her walking is MUCH more than just walking.  She incorporates knee lifts, side to side, kicks, and a bunch of other fun stuff to make it not so boring!  I went shopping to a store today for a change, instead of E-Bay.  I actually felt good this time looking for clothes and not feeling depressed.  I was able to find a coupon online to help out with the cost.  I found a Valentine's t-shirt, a matching cotton cami & sweater (purple), and a black shrug.  I've never been able to see myself in a shrug before but it actually looks pretty good.  I did try on a pair of jeans that were too small but I didn't let that get me down.  It was fun pulling things off the rack and saying rather loudly to Jane, "Oh, don't you think I would just swim in this?" or "Don't you think this is too big for me now?" I would prefer not to divulge how much I weight at this time but when I'm not so conscientious, I will.  Well, I will stop for now as I could go on and on, and we wouldn't want that! *lol*

  4. Thanks, Cyndi! You know what? I didn't like to exercise either, at all! But I knew if I didn't start doing something my life would get more and more miserable. My mom died of congestive heart failure & suffered from short term memory loss and I take after her SO much! I just started walking 10 to 15 minutes a day. You could do that too. Just do 10 minutes at first even if you do it in your home while watching a TV show. Set a timer and when it goes off taper off and do some stretches for your legs. I tell you, I ain't no skinny minny still. I know this will be a lifetime effort on my part. I'm serious if I can do it, you can!

  5. I have actually been using our Wii Fit for the past sever weeks. It is a lot of fun, and I like the step aerobics. When I miss a day or three, I know it, as my legs hurt at night. I have neuropathopy in my legs and feet, and this has helped that to be better. Best wishes with your walking!!
