A bad day turns into an NSV!

So, I live on the east coast and was hit by Irene. Well, we had no damage (thank God) but lost power for what seemed like forever. Each day, I have been bringing my clothes and shower items to work to shower before I started my work day. Well, yesterday, I brought everything to work only to find that I left my work clothes hanging on the chair at home. Once I muttered every curse word I could think of, it dawned on me that maybe I could run up to Target and buy a new outfit. Well, I have officially gone down 2 sizes! Woooohooooo! Through all of the excitement of hurricane Irene and even an earthquake this past week, I felt really off course with my eating and exercise habits. But, it is true what they say. Don't get down...pick yourself up....and keep going. Today, I am back on track and ready to go down another size!

    That is so awesome I feel like targets clothes run small too so in another brand you might be even smaller. Congrats!!!! Keep up the hard work. :happy: :happy: :happy:
