A summary of my week...
A week ago, I went to the movies with my group and we saw Guardians of the Galaxy. It was a great movie and we had an awesome night. Getting home was an adventure; we ended up on the Northbound train because they were single-tracking on the Southbound track. That was a 40 minute diversion during which time I realized that I had left my phone in Target's bathroom. I called from my friend's phone and they had found it.
Saturday I biked up to Target and retrieved my phone, went to Starbucks for an iced coffee, biked to Goodwill and found two blazers to wear this fall, biked to Ross and found some basics to replace the ones my dryer ate.
Let me tell you how good it is to buy basics. I'm talking underwear, undershirts, tights, socks, etc. These are clothing items that get a lot of wear and would be replaced in 3-6 months. Taking a hit to my wages meant sacrificing on a lot of things. We'll just say, that I can finally throw out some garments that I've held on to for the last two years. Bye bye, undershirts with the straps safety pinned on. Bye bye, underwear with barely there elastic. Bye bye, last year's tights with the huge run that I try to hide.
I also found some faux leather pants for $10 to go with my Goodwill blazers. I also ordered two t-shirts from my favorite online consignment shop thredup.com.
Sunday was good, except for a pesky runny nose. I was certain it was just allergies and the change of seasons. I went to a vision board party after church, and went through tissue after tissue.
Monday is when I woke up with the sinus infection and TOM started Tuesday. Sudafed has kept me going and really focused on work in an unusual way. Let me tell you, being able to dress casually got me through the week!
So that was my week. Finally feeling better and ready to buckle down on the weight loss. I'm aiming for a pound a week average until Thanksgiving!!!
