In my diary we are all "conquerors" - fair enough ?? :)

oh yes, I've had chocolate covered ants before - not that I could actually taste the ants, just the chocolate which I think is the key to why they sell them - I think :confused: A tin of salted roasted ants probably wouldn't sell very well.




So on to today, well it was a wicked day. I did things in a stupid order but mission accomplished all the same.

I did 10 miles and that was the last trek for my New Balance 600's. I got 3 blisters pushing my luck and delaying a much needed purchase especially pushing these kind of distances.

I limped into JC Penney's and bought a pair of 451 New Balance (on sale of course) and while I was at it I went over Walmart and bawled like a baby at the Schwinn Skyliner I couldn't pick up. I had planned on taking my cigarette money and parlaying it on this beautiful pedal machine. Such is life *sigh* I did buy a couple pair of Starter nylon shorts (WOW are these COMFY !!) - sweat shorts cut-offs just aren't cutting it anymore - and I got a handful of much needed XL T's too.

I probably should work out on the stationary this month anyway in preparation for the new bike - probably time well spent. Our weather is going to total shit after today (was 80 here today) and with cut up feet this is more than likely the path of least resistance for me temporarily.

Every piece of XXL clothing is gone. I took the leap. They looked positively ridiculous on me and I see no reason to keep a hold of them. Bagged up and vamoose !! Good riddance !! I did try one a L Starter zip up hoodie today but didn't buy it, though I could probably pull it off. I really want the bike more than stroking my ego right now so we'll just let it hang on the rack till I can safely get myself in position to buy it.

I'm in good spirits today otherwise. I don't think you guys know just how stoked I am about myself right now. Yep, I bragged :)

You brag away!!!! Doesn't that feel GREAT???! I just cleaned out my closet and dresser of all the baggy clothes (mostly capri's, work pants and pj bottoms) that I have been "swimming in" for too long. Once they're too big, then ya feel as yucky as you did when they were too tight! At least for me. :)

Glad that you have something to put your ciggy cash toward...*clapping*
 
wow way to go T2, im the same with clothes though, i tend now to buy a smaller size before i need it so i dont end up panicing if i realize nothing fits though.
I still have no size 14 stuff though technically i should fit it yet, im waiting until i break the plateau :)

How much $ are you saving without the smokes? :)

Beth, I'm going to commit suicide if capri's are no longer the fashion statement. I mean it too :mad:

Seriously, it does feel great :) and it exceeds anything I imagined 13 months ago, and yes, there's something to be said about good fitting clothes - it does matter.
