Hi everyone! I picked up my rings and bought a ton of new clothes.
My husband was my advisor so I picked out more muted colors than I normally would; but they are all nice and fallish. I bought some shirts, knit tops, pants, the smaller size jeans which fit me fine and a jacket. Holy cow! I’m not asking for his help again; it was way too expensive. Of course I know these will fit me for quite awhile not like when I was first loosing weight and inches. At least I have some nice clothes to start school next week. He said the nicest thing to me; he said not to worry about spending money on clothes; he said he''d rather be buying me new clothes than worrying about my health. He even mentioned he might try to figure out how many calories he would need to eat to loose weight. Cool!
I probably ate more than 1200 cals today but not really sure how much. I had part of a Belgian waffle at Mimi’s with some fresh fruit for breakfast. At the mall I bought a toll house cookie which my husband and I split (enough for a taste and much safer than me making a batch of cc cookies) and for supper we went to an Italian restaurant and I had a small piece of garlic bread, and ½ of some chicken parmesan with spaghetti. We walked a lot today too. We walked around 2 floors of a large shopping mall and it is so amazing how much more walking I can take all the time.
Skippy, Woo hoo for the 4 mile walk today. It is so important to keep focused on what we are all working for and that’s why I found the WWT thread. Sorry to hear your day was weird. It seems like people want to talk to me when I am really busy trying to grade papers; that is part of the problem teaching a class online.
Kimberly, thank you for the lovely compliment. Your concert and dinner sound marvelous. What a great way to spend the evening.
Rod, it is nice to know our rings need to be smaller because of our healthy lifestyle but like you said; it is hard to part with them. I kept looking at it for about the first 30 minutes after we got back in the car. I had to make sure they didn’t switch out the diamond or something. Ha Ha. I am glad you got to drive your car home with the top down tonight. What a view from your Condo. Wow!
Lorelei, you are so right about working out is such a good investment in our health.
MrsSalvo, I bet it was hard leaving your oldest daughter at kindergarten today. I’m glad she was excited though. Thank you for saying I am an inspiration; I appreciate the kind words.
Mara, it’s sad to have vacation over. I have to go back to work Wednesday and I am not looking forward to it at ALL. Have fun on your working trip this week. The jazz festival sounds like a lot of fun.
Hi Tdiddy, I did enjoy getting my rings back. I am such a sucker for rings; I tried on a gorgeous emerald cut emerald with side bag diamonds at Tiffany’s today. It was only $6800. I smiled politely and said “thank you” and moved along. It sounds like you are really busy. I hope your 7 mi run went great tonight. My SIL got to town today so I know we''ll be eating out this week - not good news for me but I''ll be careful.
PhoenixGirl, you did great going on a 6 mile walk today. Congratulations on loose fitting pants. Yippee!
Katebar, I’m glad your winter isn’t cold. We get in the minus 10’s and 20’s Fahrenheit here for a few weeks in December and January. I am at least comforted by the knowledge we are closer to then Sun then; because I know I’d be FREEZING to death if we were farthest from the Sun then. Thank you for such a nice compliment about me. It means a lot to me to hear that. That is wonderful to hear your exercises have helped your knees so much and your BP and heart rate have dropped. That is absolutely awesome! I bet you can’t wait for your hubby’s new car.
Well, I have a dentist appointment at 7:45 on my last day off from work. What was I thinking? Then I have an eye exam at 9:45. I rounded up 2 bags of very baggy clothes to drop off at the local Needs. Then I have the rest of my day to goof off.
Take care my friends!
