Guess What I'm Wearing??

Tall.Black.Boots. – Normal size – Not extended calf! That is a real NSV for me. I love boots and even the extended calf sizes did not fit me before I lost weight! I took a few pictures (in the bathroom at work – lol) to give you an idea of what they look like.



I weighed in at 172.8 today. I feel good about that. I am very tight and am having trouble eating a lot of foods right now. I am beginning to wonder if there is a correlation between the epidural steroid injections I am getting for my back and band tightness?


DH is upset with me for all of the shopping I am doing lately. He can’t understand why I am buying clothes when, in his words, they won’t fit when you lose another 10 pounds. Well, I think I’ll be ok. I am in a large top & size 14 bottoms – they should fit for a while. I am not one to drop sizes too quickly.

The company I work for is in BAD financial shape. I am very well paid and I will not find another job in my area that pays as well or offers the same level of benefits – there’s just nothing available. I have decided to ride it out. I am sure I will show up one day and the doors will be bolted shut. Either that or they will tell me that they need to let me go. So my plan is to go back to college. I met with admissions and plan on starting in January. I am scared – can I still do this? We’ll see. I never finished college. I do not have a college degree. I have a great deal of experience and have attended seminars and completed certificate programs with our local chamber of commerce. I am afraid that with today’s economy employers will not even consider me without the degree. So that is my plan – I am going to enroll in a Business Administration transfer program at our local community college.  If the stars align just right I will receive my Associate's degree at the same time my DD receives her Master's.  I would not have had the courage to do this pre-band. Wish me luck.
Have a great week everyone.
