I was off to the big city today to meet up with Mandy and do a little shopping. Since we both have lost weight, (combined we have lost 75 pounds, but Mandy has lost more than me.) we both were in need of a few new pieces of clothing.
It is still a bit shocking to me to go to the rack and take off a shirt or slacks in the size I have worn for several years and not have them fit any more. I look in the mirror and I see that woman in the cruise pictures and not the women I am slowly becoming. Today I literally stood in front of a three way mirror in a new outfit with my mouth hanging open with surprise! Yes, I could see that I actually looked pretty good!
I also have to say how much I enjoyed spending the day with my daughter. You know it’s so nice when you can look at your child and be proud of how they have made their own way in life! I am also pleased to be able to report that I would want to be her friend even if she were not my daughter. She is that neat of a person!
The day went so fast and before long we had exhausted all the shops and it was time to say goodbye. I sure hope we can do that again soon!
Isn’t that a nice feeling to change your clothes because you became slimmer ? Of course your daughter is nice, couldn’t be different with such a mother, lol !
That is sooooo cool! I love being able to hang out with my daughters that way too! AND — to look at yourself in the mirror and LIKE what you see!? WOW! **HIGH FIVE!!!** You gooooooo girl!
I don’t remember seeing ANY pictures of you where you look “heavy” though.
your daughter is so lucky to have such a nice mother as you are!! Congrats to the two of you!!
That’s wonderful you’ve been able to kind of celebrate the loss with some shopping 🙂
So you had your reward now 🙂 Well done. I’m as impressed as aver over your achievement.
Well, of course your daughter is the best, she has you as mother 🙂
That is truly fun to be together like that, not all get to experience that. It makes you two more tight (if that’s possible) and nice memories.
Sounds like a wonderful shopping day and with a quality time with your daughter it must have been great – I’m happy for you and you have all the reason to be proud!
PS: Glad you liked my new shorts from my shopping trip in Mariestad, Sweden 🙂
