Still 78 lbs down. But today was a big day anyway: For the first time in 20+ years, I wore a pair of size 22 jeans!! I've been wearing Ulla Popken size 20/22 tops for a couple of weeks now but this is the first time in the jeans. Very motivating!
Rachel and I went to the BXtra and the food court (Taco Bell!) at Mildenhall and the commissary and BX down at Lakenheath. While we were at Mildenhall, that little Celtic place opened and I tried on this cape I've had my eye on for years. I was seriously impressed!! Either I'm not as short as I think I am (doubtful) or the cape is not as long as I thought (much more likely!), but it's a very flattering mid-calf length. It's 100% wool cashmere and amazingly soft! It's all hand-made and you get to pick all the colors--cape, lining, hood and lining. The one shown is black with a red lining and it's gorgeous! I'll have to see whether I like the black or navy better. I think I may have just found either my Christmas prezzie or my reward for losing all this weight.
The Trent is the traditional (historical? whatever) border between north and south in England. We crossed the river this afternoon to completely cloudy skies on the way home--and within 45 minutes, it was pouring. It's slacked off a bit now but it's still pretty wet. Welcome home!
Hi Gretchen! Glad to hear you're doing well and continuing to make amazing progress! Hope to see you again sometime soon!
ReplyDeleteDavid, Rachel and I were talking about your 'whistle stop' last trip here yesterday. I hope you get to spend a wee bit more time on a future trip. Thanks for the encouragement! Woo Hoo!!
DeleteYay for more shopping choices!! New clothes are a great reward for all the hard work!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Em! I've even lost weight in my feet! I'm now a W (vice WW), which opens up a lot more possibilities. I'm heading in to town this morning to get train tickets so I'm going to check out Monsoon. Oh happy day!
