Shopping Under My Desk

Phase II – Day 18      WEIGHT:  168 lbs.    WORKOUT:  The Bar Method (1 hr.)   EXTRA:  A lovely walk along the water

I was so excited to see the scale read 168 lbs. and with that, I decided to look through the banker’s box that lives under my desk for six months at a time.  It is filled with some of my most treasured clothes that no longer fit.  They are given one last chance of returning to my closet at the end of six months.  One or two have made it in the past — the rest went to Goodwill.

Much to my surprise, I pulled out two dresses, three skirts, and a blouse.  I felt as if I had gone shopping for new clothes.  It was incentive enough to workout at The Bar Method for the third day in a row.  Normally, I am too sore to exercise after day two, but I made it through and felt great afterward.

Lunch was absolutely delicious and filling:  red snapper with lemon and garlic and tomatoes.It was a beautiful day.  It’s amazing how stress releasing it is to just be with myself for an hour while walking, listening to music, and breathing in fresh ocean air.  I do need to make this a part of my new lifestyle.

Until tomorrow — good night!
