My scale loves me :-) This morning it gave me a wonderful compliment of 182. I love my scale....today. :) haha
I went shopping today....briefly. Can any woman shop, BRIEFLY??? Well, I did. My goal....in and out in 30 min. with $50 to spend. Goal.....to buy ONE pair of pants/capris and a top or two that FIT. Yeah, I have already complained about this (at least out loud I have) that my clothes are now ridiculously baggy and annoying. My dress pants are baggy....WAY baggy. AND, since I stay at home with my children, I don't need to dress up every day to go to work, I really don't want to spend much money, if any, on clothes that I KNOW I won't wear very long. (I'm being pretty confident, aren't I??? ha!) So, the last time I bought pants they were an 18, and a little snug at that. These are the pants that are now uncomfortably big. So, I tried on 16's which means I can shop in the "REGULAR" clothing department and not the WOMEN'S SECTION where almost everything there looks like grandma clothing (I don't mean to offend anyone if you look good in these types of clothes, I just don't want to wear them yet). AAhhhh.....this was nice. Not a lot to choose from, but hey, I won't be picky yet. When I reach a 12 or 14 I know I'll be in luck.
Luck was WITH ME today, let me tell you. The VERY FIRST pair of capris I tried on fit like a glove! WOW! OK, price? 80% off.......total at the register.......$9.99. WAAHOOO!!!! I was really wanting to scream in the dressing room, but I didn't, in fear of being escorted out of the store :-)
Next, shirts. Apparently my upper body is retarded. WAY retarded to be exact. I find all of these incredibly cute sleeveless tops, put them on, and you can literally see my entire bra underneath my armpit. Do people really have arms this big??? Cause I can tell you right now, my arms are NOT small by any stretch of the imagination. 10 shirts later......yes that's TEN, NONE fit because of this problem. Going down a size doesn't work either. Then my stomach sticks out like I'm 7 months pregnant! I guess that's the problem. My shoulders and chest must be a medium size, but my stomach protrudes so much I have to upgrade. That's the only thing I can come up with.
Final purchase.....one pair of capris, three shirts and some play-dough for my son :-)
Now I'm wondering if anyone will notice any weight loss on me when I wear my "magic" capris. I call them magic because if they cause someone to notice that Shannon has lost weight, I'll be one happy camper.
This weekend we are having a family get together with my in laws, so I'm wondering if anyone will SAY anything. It's one thing to have a thought in your head, "hey, so-in-so looks like they have lost weight.....I'm not sure though so I won't say anything...." I want to reach that point that someone says, "HEY SHANNON, lookin' good girl!" haha We'll see. I'll report on Sunday if anyone noticed.
By the way, why does that matter so much? Not sure......I guess I never outgrew wanting other people's approval. Hmmm....there's a deep statement to end on!
Have a great day today!

I came across your blog and I am enjoying it. Sounds like we are pretty close except you are ahead of me. You are doing so great! I have saved you as one of my favs. :) I have a weightloss blog as well. Just click on my name and then my website if you want to ck it out. I will be reading yours faithfully!
Well hey there D.I.M! Thanks for stopping by! I am just a woman trying to loose weight with a little life happening inbetween :-) Friends always help the process....I'll read more of your site tomorrow!
D.I.M....I tried to leave a comment on your site, however I'm not familiar with the process. Do I need to create a user name and password to do this?
No, you shouldn't have to?? You should be able to leave me a comment. I am finding I have been having problems with it for some reason. I might just have to go with blogger. It is getting frustrating. Thanks for looking and hopefully it will let you post. I will go look at it and see if I can find the problem.
Well, I don't know what the problem is. I have it set up were any one can post. So I did set up a blogger account that is linked on my web site. I will just start posting to that one. At list with blogger I can list blogs I read.
