So...the thing is...

I'm excited that I've lost 50 pounds. The journey hasn't always been easy, but I feel such a sense of accomplishment!

But you see...there are other things that go along side weight loss. One of them being clothes. Clearly with the loss of pounds, there has been a change in clothing size. Thankfully my great friend Kristyn has passed along clothes as she has grown out of them (as I do once I've grown out of mine too). However, yesterday (a nice and sunny 70 degree day) I wanted to wear shorts or capris and learned that I didn't have any that fit. I will admit it is more fun to go clothes shopping now- it's much better than it was 50 pounds ago. Although, being on a budget, and saving for a wedding doesn't make spending money on clothes very fun! So, I'll slowly be adding things- buying at thrift stores, using sales and clearance prices and taking hand me downs from friends.

Since I've recently joined the gym I've purchased more workout clothes too. I had some luck finding these at JcPenny and Old Navy. Hopefully these pants don't fall down! (Don't laugh! I had that issue!) Soon on the docket to purchase will be some new athletic shoes too. If anyone has suggestions on shoes- I'd love to hear them. Remember though- I'm on a budget.

So you see...the thing is....along with exciting and accomplished things- comes unexpected challenges. I guess that's life! If everything was always good and exciting they wouldn't call it the roller coaster of life!
