Half Price Wednesday at the Salvation Army

I love it!!  I'm a third of the way through my weight loss journey and my clothes are looking pretty baggy.  I gave a bunch of size 22 pants away and am wearing 20s and 18s that I kept from the last time I was thin.  But I didn't have any shirts that fit well - and I'm feeling good about myself and want to wear more fitted clothes.

This is where the Salvation Army is perfect!  It's like renting clothes.  I'll re-donate some of the stuff I bought last winter that's too big now, and pick up clothes that look good.  Yesterday's trip cost me 14 bucks.  Fourteen dollars!!  And I got nice shirts that I can wear to work.  The yellow turtleneck is an Izod - and cost me $2.50! I tried on a Ralph Lauren turtleneck, but didn't buy it because it didn't fit well.  Too big, and too short.  A turtleneck should tuck into the pants, since the whole purpose of a turtleneck is to keep me warm. 


I'm having dinner at a friend's house tonight and I'm going to enjoy myself.  My calories this week so far have been around 1000-1100 a day which MFP says is too low (interesting that my calorie goal is 1240 a day, but anything below 1200 and MFP says I'm not eating enough!).  So if I go over my calories for today, I'm not worried. Plus, my stomach is small now and I can't eat very much before I get full.  I wanna keep it that way.

237.0 this morning.  After the big jumps down last week, it's still going down.  Slowly.  MFP says I could be 222 in 5 weeks, which is the end of the CDCC.  If so, that would be a dream.  I'm motivated!!
