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*

Good for you jules! Your are my inspiration! Love ya girl! Becca
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Becca! Love you too, sweets!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. Weight is a struggle. I have been heavy my entire life, weighing in at a whopping 9# 2 oz.. I do not like to exercise at all. I like to yo you diet! I will be following your blog now to help inspire me! Thanks for starting one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
