Thursday, Dec 6 2007 - Today I stop counting the days.....
View BEARSMOM's food & exercise for this day
It has been two weeks since I started CK and it is already making a difference in the way I feel. I will stop counting the days and just adopt it as a part of my life.
Today seems like it will be a nice day. The weather is perfect, I feel healthy, and I get to work for a couple of hours. I am working as a trainer, per diem, and there haven't been too many newhires to train. Oh well. I have a vision for a new type of trainer position that will be more hours a week and fit right into my school (working on Masters of Science in Administration with Human Performance Technology Specialization). I am forming the vision in my head and will get up the guts after the holidays to present my ideas to the Chief Operations Administrator, the one person I know can create a new position. Hopefully by then I fit into some of my business/casual type of clothes. Right now I wear scrubs to work because, well, I can (I'm training nurses and MA's), and because its all I have that fits me right now.
Goal: Get box of largest old clothes down from attic and fit into something by 2008.
I have 3 boxes in the attic full of clothes. About a year ago I had to make room in a closet, so I neatly packed up all of the clothes that don't fit me. I put them in plastic bags, then in big plastic tubs with lids. There is a box with size 18 - 16, another box with 16 - 12, and a box with 12 - 7. the size 7 is a pair of jeans that I LOVED what my butt looked like in. I don't know if I will ever get that small, but I keep them just in case. The other sizes, I have many nice pants and tops that I could not part with. In my closet right now, there are some very nice business/casual dresses that are sizes 16 - 12. I would feel like a million bucks wearing some of those again.
For the past year or so, I wore scrubs to work and "housework" clothes at home. I have a pair of black pants for dressy occassions and some black gaucho's (sp?) that make me look HUGE. I think they are size 20 in walmart sizes (walmart's sizes are designed to make you feel good about yourself).
It's time for me to get some new clothes. Therefore, I will lose 10 lbs and have a nice selection of new old stuff, and then buy some new new stuff, by 2008. That settles it.
Prayer: Dear Lord, please help me not eat too many cookies this holiday season. Amen.
Oh, also Lord, please help Nana's next box of fudge get lost in the mail. Thank you.

Hi Stephanie! I know what you mean about having old clothes. I have one pair of pants that I cling to. They are a size 7, khakis...and at that time in my life that I could wear them I just felt so good about my body and about myself... I read somewhere that if you keep old clothes it makes you hang onto your past, and your weight too because in the back of your mind it makes you not able to let go and accept who you are now....I don't know about all that, but I still have those darn pants in my closet b/c I think about how I want to be able to fit into them again!
