I have the day off from work - some kind of state holiday and it's nice to be all by myself today.
First of all - thanks to all my EP friends for the comments and suggestions to my current struggles.
Hope you all had a great week-end. I spent the day Saturday out shopping with my mom and sister. We don't get to shop much with mom because she is always too busy (she says) so it was fun. Too bad we had to take the kids along....but it was fine.
I found a few items for myself that are in XL and 16 versus going to the woman's dept. That is success!
I was looking for a slip to go with a black skirt and couldn't find one at a few of the stores so I stopped by Lane Bryant (sizes 14W plus) and found one in the smallest size they have. Now that was a great feeling.
You know - do you find that when you are a size "whatever" and you shop for a few things that you can always find the size above and the size below....then when you move to that lower size you find all of the sizes you needed before. It's like WHERE were you when I needed you????GRRRRRRRRRR..... It's crazy!
I also found me some new walking tennis shoes on sale and tried them out this morning when I went on a nice walk. It was great. I put on my pedometer (as someone suggested), put my iPod earbuds in, and walked for about 25 minutes. It was nice.
I hope you all have a great week!
Now, I am off to check up on you girls......

good for you!
nothing like a new pair of shoes to encourage that exercise!....
And smaller sizes....whoo hoo....is always a reason to celebrate. Not only not having your size is annoying....but it seems when I have money to spend...I can't find anything....and when I don't...there is cute stuff everywhere!
Oh new shoes are on the list for me this weekend. I love the shoes that I have but now that I am doing c25k I notice they hurt my feet. I certainly can't run in the 5k with hurting feet!! I just don't want to fork over the big bucks for them. Oh well!
Congratulations on all these smaller sizes you are wearing now girl. That is such an awesome feeling!
Good for you, I used to love to walk. I can't wait until the snow melts (we are in the midst of a blizzard today) and I can get out there again with the dog. He really needs to get walking too, the pair of us are a sight to behold!
That's the best feeling in the world , when you find clothes in a smaller size that fit. Success is showing! Way to go!!
Thanks for the speedy recovery wishes...my knee is feeling a lot better. I still have to wear the brace for support, but at least I don't have to use crutches.
on the new shoes and for wearing the pedometer! It makes you feel good racking up those steps and I just love my walks period.
Congrats on not having to go to the plus size part. I can't wait until I can do that. Right now I went into walmart and the largest pair of shorts that I wanted were in a size 2X, I am wearing a size 4X.. ;-(
Sorry I was MIA most of last week. Thank you so much for your note. It made me smile.
Congratulations on the XL and the size 16. I know EXACTLY how you feel about the different sizes. In January, I bought a bunch of vacation stuff that was on sale at Kohl's. Some of it now fits and some of it doesn't. I'll look forward to the rest of the stuff fitting sometime this summer (hopefully). Glad you are mostly out of Lane Bryant. I'm on their smallest size undies and really don't know where to go get 100% cotton ones when I need new ones. Oh well, what a problem to have, right?
How is your Dad doing these days? How are you doing back at work? Hope you have a marvelous week.
It's crazy!
