onescore down!

by

my body seems to hate me lately. it keeps wanting to wake up, and i mean WAKE UP, between four and five a.m. and if i dare to go back to sleep, it punishes me with the greatest form of weariness you can imagine when my alarm beep-beeps it is time to get up and go to work at six. i’m not quite sure what’s going on, but someone please send my body a memo that I’M NOT GETTING UP AT FOUR OR FIVE A.M. THANKYOUVERYMUCH.
then again, i probably shouldn’t complain too much. my body has also *cough*willingly*cough* let go of twenty and a half pounds of fat. that was a nice discovery last week. something about losing a score of weight that makes it all seem more real and continueable. so what if i still have lots more to lose? i haven’t been able to say i’ve lost twenty pounds in, um, eight years. it’s a major accomplishment. now if only i could learn to say no to creme brulee. mmm, creme brulee.
it’s almost time to start thinking about getting some new clothes. i have one pair of pants and three or so shirts that actually fit without making me look like some saggy shopping cart person. even my low-rise stretchy jeans are get a little droopy by the end of the day. i should be excited about this, but it’s hard to when you know that everything i’m going to buy will be replaced in a few months’ time. i think i’ll go look around value village. maybe if i don’t pay full price i won’t feel so bad about not wearing them for very long.

    Consignment stores are great! There are two really great consignment stores near you in West Van in Dundarave (its only one block – so finding them won’t be hard). One on either side of the street. You might want to check there! Nice thing about buying second hand in West Van is that the merchandise is usually really nice and usually only a season old. I’ve gotten some great jeans, tops and skirts there.
    Good luck, and congrats on the weightloss!

    when i lost weight that was the only frustrating thing. so i had to start buying clothes that were slightly too small so when i kept losing weight they would fit!

    Hot DAMN! 20 pounds! Now that’s a nice, solid number. You can do that thing that WW suggest where you pick up something that weighs 20 pounds (like a bag of dog food at the store, say) and really be amazed at just how much that is.
    The extra awesome thing about consignment stores is that you can drop off your too big clothes and get credit if they sell.
