A much better day all around. I woke up feeling much better and had no trouble getting through my morning routine and getting down to work. I actually had a very productive, if frustrating morning, learning how to do all the accounts for my business in Quick Books. I was so in the zone of just entering receipts and sales that I was surprised to look at a clock and realise it was almost 2pm!
It was another bright, sunny and warm spring day, so in the afternoon I decided the accounts could wait while I got out all my spring and summer clothes I'd put away last October. I always like getting out the new seasons’ clothes from storage; it feels like I’ve just acquired a whole new wardrobe. I try to do a seasonal wardrobe cull, checking if everything still fits and flatters, and getting rid of any clothes I didn’t wear this past winter and can’t see myself wearing again. Which is how I managed to spend 3 hours yesterday afternoon trying on all my clothes and shoes. I know I’ve lost weight since last summer – after all, that was the point of all this exercise and food blogging! – but it was still a shock to see just how big some of my summer clothes have got on me. I have several pieces that are literally unwearable until I get them taken in they are so big, particularly bottoms and dresses. Actually, my husband pointed out that some items I bought on sale last summer would probably be cheaper and easier to simply replace. I’m hoping that means he’s willing to pay for some new summer clothes!
Hard to feel depressed when you realise you’ve gone down 2 dress sizes and have a bunch of “new” clothes you can’t wait to wear again!
