Day 251- I have been away from here for awhile. I have started to drop again, but only after a week long of working out everyday. I ran a 5K over the weekend, it was a small one at our local YMCA and I ran a minute slower than my previous race. I was not happy about that! I know part of the reason was I could not find a pace. Yesterday I woke up early so I decided to go for a run and ended up making it a longer distance run for me, 5.4 mi, I felt good afterwards but knew I was going to tighten up as the day went on. The only pain I have left this morning is my thighs are killing me. I must have stressed them out. I hope I can get some sort of run in tomorrow with this pain. I feel like I need to hit the running harder to decrease my race times and the weight loss journey.
So nothing fits anymore and it is getting cold. I have been buying a lot of running gear as it has been on sale and I need it. I am good on running gear, but don’t have a jacket to wear for work on cold mornings. I have been looking everywhere to find a jacket I like at the price I want to pay, is does not exist! One of the reasons I started this journey was because I wanted to wear nice cloths and when I go shopping I have a hard time buying ‘cheap’ clothing, I use to do that and I know what you get for the cheap……. crap that does not last past a few washings. I need to suck it up and get the jacket I want and spend the $100 on it. I have one pair of jeans right now that I like, so I wear them all the time. I need to get a dress shirt for when I have to be ‘appropriate’, again I know what I want but don’t want to spend the money. BTW, did I mention that this month a lot of bills come due and I have 2 birthdays I have to buy for + a week of vacation to Pocono’s that we go to every year? Just a little stress when you’re trying to get out of debt!

I feel your pain! It's the down side of getting healthy! I have one pair of jeans and 2 pairs of kahkis... I really need to do something. I've been trying to hold off for x-mas and tell everyone that I was gift cards! The winter jacket for me in NY is a must. I am feeling guilty because my hubby bought me a great columbia for Christmas 2 years ago but it's an XL and I'm a small to medium now. I feel I have earned it though so I'll skip the Spyder I keep seeing at Dick's and go to the Columbia outlet soon. My son's b'day is this month and then the holidays start, ugh! Good thing is my hubby wanted a golf club this summer, I wanted my cool sculpting and we have a greed that is our Christmas. Kinda nice to take off the pressure of finding THE gift and can enjoy the kids :-).
Hope it all work out and enjoy the Poconos!!! It's so close and always say we are going to go and never do.

I feel your pain with the clothing - but at least when you buy something nice you'll have it for a long time. Congrats on the working out and weight loss!

oh running clothing. I know that trouble I went shopping Saturday, picked out a bunch of regular & running clothes. Some dresses looked fabulous on me...but I put them back because I just don't have the funds. Then I got buyer's remorse from spending over $200 on running stuff, and returned half of that! :-/

You are so close to goal weight - and a winter jacket won't change that much for size. You could go lightweight and wear layers, or invest in a nice jacket that fits well now so it will still fit well after you hit goal - or go to a high end consignment shop and buy used, or, we have some high end neighborhood Goodwill shops in our area. I buy stuff and have it drycleaned - just like new!
