Hola, friends! Thanks for the props on my running progress! I hope I’ve inspired just one of you to get off the couch and work it 
So the other day when I was shopping for my new multivitamin, I wandered into a couple of clothing stores. I’ve been wearing skirts aaaaaall summer, and my dress pants from the spring are just a bit too big. They still work, but I feel frumpy in them. Basically, I was looking for some new dress pants or some skirts that will work for fall.
I had a coupon for Express, so I grabbed some things here and there to try on. I wound up with a royal blue shirt (large), a navy blue high-waisted pencil skirt (size 10) and a pair of black Editor pants … SIZE 8!!!!! I could wear them now, but they’re a little muffintoppy. Give me a week or two and they’ll fit just fine.
I also dropped in to New York and Company because they had a sweet sale going on. The style of clothes here is always hit or miss for me, but I remained hopeful. I tried on a bunch of shirts and skirts and ended up purchasing:
A chartreuse ruffle top (medium)
This purple colorblock skirt (medium) for only $7.99!
And this black high-waisted pencil skirt that I wore to work yesterday
I haven’t been a size 8 since high school. And even then I just had one pair of size-8 jeans … that I couldn’t breathe in. I know I’m not a size 8 in every store yet, but it feels SO DARN GOOD to have that number on the tag. Yippie for me!
I’m growing to love my new bottle, but evidently not fast enough because I forgot it at home today. Bummer. Didn’t drink much water today either. In case you couldn’t see it well enough in the picture, here’s a closeup.
I love love love having my 1-liter bottle with me at work. I always drink at least two before quittin’ time, and I usually drink more water once I get home. As I’ve said before, hydration is the key to happiness.
