I hit the 50 lbs lost mark a few weeks ago but couldn't think of anything to do to celebrate. Today in my workout class, I looked at myself in the mirror and realized I need to revamp my workout clothes (the college t-shirts and old faded saggy capris weren't cutting it anymore).

When going to Sports Basement, I was daring and took a couple pair of size medium tight stretchy moisture-wicking capris, and size medium tech running shirts in to the changing room. I tried them on.... and I actually looked kind of hot (not often that I think that)! I haven't been anything but a large or extra large in years, let alone looking cute in spandexy pants!

So I bought two sets of capris and tops to celebrate my commitment to working out and moving forward. A really great NSV, thanks for letting me share :)

    That's is wonderful! Congrats on the new size and seeing yourself in a new way. That's a great reward too! I'm still struggling with trying to not make food be the reward for everything.
  • Great job!!! And good for you for thinking about treating yourself in a positive way!
