Goodwill Shopping

Captain's Blog, Stardate: 63334.3 (this just never gets old for me)

Okay so I stop at my favorite Goodwill store (Goshen, Indiana) on my way back to work from a Mammogram appointment (my little reward).
You see tomorrow is 50% off day and typically the day before that sale the store is packed with good stuff, but not so packed with people. So I score a couple of nice wool blazers ($5.00) and a shin length black leather coat ($9.00). Then I decide that maybe I should see what is at the Ireland Rd. store (South Bend, Indiana) and score an even NICER black leather coat. This seven dollar coat is fabulous... shin length, and a size medium (I have always said my BONES were bigger than that... guess they're not!). So yeah Friday the 13th so works for ME! P.S. 72 pounds gone.

Mile Marker 70


After a month or so on this plateau, which was a bit frustrating... I am moving again, and finally made the next milestone. I have now lost 70 pounds ... which seems rather surreal in a way. Jen mentioned the other day that it is like carrying around my Graddaughter... WOW! I lost a person... a small person granted, but a person. I cannot IMAGINE picking her up and lugging her with me ... everywhere I go... for everything I do... 39.4 pounds to goal. What??? Can't believe it's been 5 months since surgery already.
