(-52 lbs.) Old Clothes are New Again

Losing weight, at least for me, has been like time travel. Being a packrat of sorts have allowed me to wax nostalgic on many occasions. Looking at this hunk of brick-a-brack or listening to that slab of vinyl can really take you back.

My closet is full to overflowing with clothes I just never parted with. It becomes a little overwhelming no and again- especially when you realize just how long ago some of the stuff was purchased. I mean, once you have several pairs of shoes several years older than your kids, you realize just how old you are.

What's so cool now is that I'm actually beginning to fit into some of my old clothes. I can now, after 9 weeks, I can comfortably wear clothes I coulding cram myself into 4 years ago. You might say that I'm not waxing nostalgic, I'm waning it (this probably makes no literary sense at all. What I'm trying to say is that I'm shrinking into the past).

This morning was a gym day. I really look forward to this more than anything else. It feels good to move the weights. It feels GREAT to know that what I'm doing is EFFECTIVE.

I had a protein smoothy after the gym this morning. These are things I've really come to enjoy. As a matter of fact, I've decided on some new favorites foods; broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, protein powder, and almonds. Not together in a smoothie, I just never thought these would replace things like pizza and lasagne.

Tomorrow is a walking day.
