Lunch: Japanese restaurant Yum
Dinner: Frozen lasagna
It seems like the only breakfasts that I am eating these days are the drive-through ones on the days I have to be out and about early. Not so good. Have to do better.
Anyways, I was out returning library books, getting my meds and a couple of gifts, and I was sort of on my way home when I stopped at my favorite clothing store and I bought stuff. Lots of stuff. Three over shirts (one is a wonderful pale rose linen, yummy), two tops, 2 pair of socks (compression for my diabetic legs), 2 bras and some undies. Whew. Everything was on sale, like a big, huge sale and I spent a pittance on all of it. I knew that it had been a while since I did any clothing buying, but they found me in their computer system and it has been more than six years.
So, now I have nice summery clothing. It is kind of nice. I am trying to not feel guilty about spending the money, but with all of the traveling I am doing in the next few months and the presents and stuff for the babies, I mean, really, what difference is a bit more going to make. This is the money left after paying the few expenses I have, so off and away with the guilt, I say!
I had an interesting conversation with the store clerk. She mentioned that I seemed to be choosing sizes that are too large for me and gave me some items in smaller sizes, just to try. She told me that my clothing is just kind of hanging on me, and I guess that she is right. So, it seems that I have lost some weight and the stuff I bought is 2 to 3 sizes smaller than what I have been wearing. So, bowing to her expertise, I bought the smaller sizes, but it feels weird and I know that I am going to miss having all that loose fabric behind which I can hide. Sort of. Anyway, it feels odd, mostly because I have been eating out so much and I know that I have gained back some of the flab that I lost over the past several months. Weird.
So, short and shorter. I am now in the second half of this project and not even close to meeting my expectations. Man. There is some unpleasantness in my future, some bad stuff coming down. I do not know if I am prepared, but whether or not I am, it is still coming. I am going to find out if taking a stand and standing up for myself is going to work. I can only do what I can do, and it has to be enough, yes?
