Half way to goal

I've lost 38 pounds. My goal is 80. That's technically not 1/2, I realize, but I'm in a good mood and wanted to blog tonight, so I'm rounding.

My goal is 80. My stretch goal is 90. If I could lose 100 I would dress like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. So, somewhere between 80 and 100 will be good. I feel really great about hitting 38.

Even better is that my clothes are falling off. The linen pants I was so excited to be able to wear again back on June 17th -- they are really kind of ridiculous how baggy they are. I have to keep hiking them up as I walk! I've been wearing sun dresses -- a few old ones and a few new ones -- and I'm hoping to make it through August without having to buy any clothes.

Tonight I tried on last year's Fall clothes to see what I needed to get rid of, what I could wear, and what I need to buy. I'm down 3 sizes in pants, skirts and dresses -- 2 sizes in tops and jackets.

I am donating 7 dresses, 2 blazers, 2 skirts, and 9 pairs of pants to Goodwill tomorrow. Funny, there's nothing here that I'm sorry to see go.

I am going to need a big Back to School sale!
