I hate shopping!  Well I love shopping for horse, dog, or farm stuff, just don't like the clothes shopping!  Aren't those Lee Riders slimming jeans the best!  I love them!  They look good, fit nice, and don't cost a fortune!  Glad that you had found some nice tops to go with them!  I never have luck with tops!  Hope all is going well and that number is lower for you!  best of luck!

So,

 I went shopping the other day for the first time in a loooong time. I, as always, bought some shirts...but when it comes to pants I can't handle that number! So saturday I tried again. I am not terribly pleased with the fact they are sz 14, but I did in fact find pants! Well, jeans. However, it has been years and years since I have worn jeans and I was really  happy with how the lee slimming jeans fit and they are so comfy!  I tried repeating  the mantra "It's just a number now who you are" as I tried everything on and that seemed to help. Also, they were having a huge sale so i picked out some cute funky tops that are sooo slimming but have a willowy tummy area so I don't feel like im flashing my flab for all to see!

 This weekend proved a little tough for me as I had way to many temptations that I fell into. Fried seafood for lunch with my mom and then a surprise party that had me drinkning and snacking like crazy! Yesterday I buckled down though. I ate healthy all day, opting for egg white omlet with swiss (it's lower in fat)  and veggies instead of my ususal buttered up toast with eggs and homefries.  Then my weakness kicked in a little. I LOVE to cook. So I invited a few friends over and I made them pasta bake, I was strong though, and I had a large yummy salad and a tofu dog. It was nice because I ddn't feel deprived and still got to make the yummy foods for my friends.

Today I officially restarted my slimfast diet. I opted for teh emal bar for breakfast because it's really easy to spread it out through my work morning. For lunch i had a small tossed salad with avacado and a shake, I'm in the hoem stretch now and have to try and stick it out til dinner. I find it really hard to wait and not snack. My faincee and I work opposing schedules so dinner is always pretty late. I just had a 100 calorie snack pack and a popcorn cake ...but I am still hungry!

I know I can do this! I just need help!

Thanks for listening to my ramble!
