small goals

September 7 marks my 90 day post op stage. I am suppose to be ten pounds less than what I am today by the 7th. I don't think I will make it. So, in order to not be to discouraged I went and trade on clothes, Saturday. First I went to Victoria's Secret, a store that I have shopped in since my first pregnancy because $50 for a bra is soooo not worth it. However; the last ten years I have not been able to purchase bra's at VS. The ladies were very nice to me. I told them that I have lost a large amount of weight and I don't know what size I need, or if I can even were their bra's yet. I also asked if they had extenders. As it turns out, I am two sizes below being able to wear their bra's without an extender. She told me that to buy only one at this point since I am still loosing weight. I told her I would next payday. My next stop was to try on jeans. The last time I bought pants (Feb. 2012) I bought 30/32 petites. This is not an easy size to find. I couldn't even think about buying jeans or slacks from Wal-Mart. Last night I tried on size 22 jeans and a 18/20 shirt. Okay, well they were to tight and looked awful, but they went on zipped and buttoned. The shirt showed every curve. I have not been able to wear those sizes but about four months total since I gave birth to my  almost thirteen year old daughter. As far as my weight goal, historically when I loose weight I have a big change in clothes sizes then the next week it shows up on the scale as well. Hmm... I am real close to bing able to shop at Maurices again!

I also realize the stores have changed their sizes. The last time I wore a 18/20 comfortably I weighed 40 pounds less than what I do today and my waist was 6 inches smaller. I need about another three inches gone before that size looks good on me.

I also have to give kudos's to Red Robbins. They were the EASIEST restaurant I have found to be able to enjoy a meal and stay within my cal. range and other restrictions. our meal for my girls and I cost $17. We all three had lemonade to drink. Our meal consisted of two appetizer plates. One was the Hummus plate and the other was the french fry, sweat potato fry and onion straws plate. Okay, so the fry plate was not healthy and full of saturated fat, but once we divided it between the three of us it wasn't bad. Unfortunately the meal was full of sodium, but that is hard to get away from when you at out.
 I need to go and eat my egg whites and turkey bacon. Have a geat holiday! (Oh and I know have been at this for four months!)
