I think I need to go clothes shopping!

The good news is ... I have lost even more weight. The bad news is ... I need to get clothes. I was trying to wait until I hit the fifty pound loss mark but I am really struggling to find enough outfits to wear for the week. Luckily, I kept some of my jeans from my skinnier days so I am good in that department but dress clothes for work .,.. that is another story.

People are really beginning to notice that I am dropping weight, especially when I am wearing jeans. I am to the point now where I can tuck in my shirts again and feel comfortable. I was a little upset because the gym at the school was closed for the week while they were working on renovations. I did walk quite a bit on Monday when we went to a festival in our park downtown. I intentionally parked about a mile away for two reasons: It forced me to walk more than I normally would. It also made it much easier to find a parking spot. I walked from the car to the park and then walked in the park for about three hours. Then I had to walk back to the car. It was amazing how much farther that trip was on the way back.

On Saturday we went to the local rodeo here in town. I was trying the intentional parking far from the event there but it backfired when they saw the Florida State Champions emblem on the back window of the car. Evidently, the boys who went to the World Series got preferred parking at the rodeo. Of course, I had to take advantage of that for the mere fact that it was the first time something like that had ever happened to me or my boys. It made us all feel like big shots. LOL!

Hopefully the gym will be open on Monday. My son starts his fall travel baseball practice near the gym where we work out so I am hoping to walk a little during practice and then head to the gym. We'll see how things work out.
