A Life Less Overweight

Motivation was much better yesterday and today. I did great at the gym yesterday, I ran intervals and it kicked my ass, but I wanted it! Today I purposely went a little easier since yesterday was tough, but I also lifted, so I feel better about my gym excursion. I think I might be getting my period soon, which can always mess with the mind set.

I went “back to school” shopping today. I have always loved shopping for fall clothes, ever since I was little. Hell, who am I kidding, I’ve always enjoyed shopping period! But now that I’ve lost a few it’s an even better experience. I was always able to find clothes that fit me at regular stores, and though they looked fine, they were just a slight bit snug. Today, no more! 14s fit me the way the should, with even a little room. I felt really great about how the clothes looked on me, so much so that I spent over $200- for me that’s a lot, so I felt a little guilty. After bringing them home, however, and doing the summer clothing pack away, I saw what little I had for fall/winter clothes and don’t feel so bad about the $200. I tried to buy pieces that are easily mixed and matched, yet still stylish. We’ll see how long it takes for me to overwear them!

Have you ever seen that Pantene commercial where the woman walks in the ballroom from the floor above and everyone turns to admire her? This may sound so self-centered, but I’ve always wanted that to happen to me. For everyone to turn and say “oh my goodness WHO is that gorgeous woman?” Every man would want me and every woman would envy (yet like) me. I feel like I’ve had people notice me when I walked into a room before, but only because I tripped and fell, or had spinach hanging out of my teeth. I’ve also always wanted someone who loves me from afar. You know, that guy that you had NO idea he was in love with you, and though he can’t have you, his heart is yours? Too many sappy movies for me.
