Shopping-Trip Preparations-Smaller Size Please-What a Bargain

So going on a trip after extreme weight loss calls for some shopping. I have been putting it off long enough and have only bought a few items to get me through over the last (almost) 8 months. A lot of that in part, though, was because I had hoarded my smaller sizes in the garage. Today I went to Kohls and did some shopping since they were having some big sales. I needed some jean shorts to add to the ones I had bought back in March. I went and grabbed some size 5 from the juniors department. I was a little shocked to see they were too big. So I went back and got the size 3. They fit well. Hopefully they will last for a while.Funny how I used to grab stuff I thought would fit and be discouraged because they would end up being too small. Now it is shocked to find too big. I can deal with that. LOL. But I did well on finding some really good deals. I bought 2 jean shorts, 8 shirts (5 tees and 3 dressy ones), a running jacket, a running skirt, 2 polo shirts (for my hubby and son for the wedding), a pair of lacy shorts, a pair of capri jeans, and a sweater all for $160 and got a Kohls cash worth $30 to use on my next visit. Will have to go back and use it on the 5th because it will expire before I get back from my trip.
Wanted to find some new sandals to wear at the wedding but could find any I liked there or at another big shoe store. All the ones I liked only came in big sizes. The ones that were less dressy or just lower than I wanted (I was looking for a high wedge) had plenty in my size. Sigh. So most likely I will try to find some tomorrow.
So much to get done before my trip. I can't freaking wait. I am going to get started on packing. Need to stock up the pantry with stuff for our pet sitter. Luckily he is a teenage boy so he doesn't have fancy tastes. LOL. Main request was doritos and dr. pepper. Hahaha.
So much to do . My kids don't come back from visiting their dad until the 4th. So at least my house will stay clean. So much happy going on right now. And that wonderful husband of mine is outside grilling me a steak for dinner. YUM!
Still having issues with constipation. That has been my one constant issue with my sleeve. I know it should eventually get better. Some times it does ease up and I get relief but some times it is a pain in the ass.....literally. LOL.
My hubby has gotten on board with the healthy life style. He has lost 20 lbs. I am so happy about that. It does make it easier when we are both eating healthy. Now he is addicted to my sugar free popsicles so we have to buy extras when we go to the store. But I am good with that. At least now even with his weight loss I still weigh much less than him. He could never get down to this weight. YAY! Will not have to worry about out weighing my hubby ever again. Funny thing is that he was looking at pictures on his phone from before the surgery. He was really shocked to see how big I actually was. I think because he was sporting some love goggles he doesn't remember me that size but comparing it to me now he clearly sees just how obese I was. I, on the other hand, did not want to look at those pictures but they are a good reminder of why it is important to stay on track. Never going back to that place where I looked and felt like crap...and really disliked myself for my weight.
Happy Saturday sleevers! Hope you all have a safe and healthy weekend!
