enough!

I don't know what came over me. I need to make some changes in my life, with my appearance.

This morning I canceled my hardly-used, non-satisfying gym membership. It doesn't work for me and there's no use wasting money on it. Then I went home and tried on every single piece of clothing in my closet. I'm so sick of nothing fitting.

I ended up with a pile of giveaway clothes that included several hardly-worn pairs of slacks, my favorite pair of khaki capris that were always borderline too-tight but are now a camel-toe fest, a brand new dress that ended up being too short, lots of too-tight clothing that I have no idea how I squeezed into, and several things that I have just grown out of, like my snoopy t-shirt.

I ended up keeping a pair of both brown and black slacks that fit nice, as well as some skirts. Everything in my closet now fits. I also ended up with a lot more closet space and a ton of hangers!

...and a cat who is annoyed that her naptime turned into a clothes and hanger frenzy.

Next on the agenda is to go buy some new pairs of jeans that aren't too small. The ones I have now are digging in and uncomfortable. Ugh I hate jeans shopping, but it must be done.

I think what's happening is that my body is changing. I feel heavier, but the scale says otherwise.
I'm realizing that I'm getting more hips and booty, and my figure is becoming more woman-like.

That, I like. I just have to figure out how to dress this newish body, in a way that is age-appropriate: modest but flattering.

As far as my workout options go, I think I'm going to utilize our neglected treadmill and take advantage of this absolutely gorgeous weather and try to get back into running.

I also think that I'd like to try Curves. I used to love working out there, and I know it actually works for me. I just have to find a convenient location.
