Feeling Good About Shopping – #NSNation – Week 11 Update
When you are heavier, shopping is a nightmare. The majority of my wardrobe was black clothes. Why? Because they don’t make clothes if you are larger that are stylish and most of them have huge floral patterns that wouldn’t look good on anyone! Now, I still hate shopping, but it is soooo nice to walk into a store and actually find things on a rack.
As many of you may know, Madison’s first communion is in less than a month, and since my weight loss, I’ve got nothing to wear! While I was in Green Bay this weekend, we went clothes shopping. Again. This time it was to find a dress. I will also need a dress for Bill’s brothers wedding in September.
Since we were looking for dresses, we headed over to Dress Barn. We were there about 2 hours and I swear I tried on at least 50 dresses. However, we scored! I found 2 dresses that I bought there! This is the dress I got for Madison’s first communion:

It was so nice to find things that looked good on me in a size 16! I couldn’t tell you the last time I wore a size 16, and I can only thank Nutrisystem for this! Now, over the weekend, I ate out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I was a little worried about what I was going to weigh in this morning at. I watched what I ate and made smart choices. That being said, I lost an additional 2 pounds! Nutrisystem has taught me to make good food choices when I am out (now, they are going to recommend that you don’t eat out but sometimes you can’t help it. Like when you are out of state like we were).
THIS WEEKS WEIGHT LOSS: 2.0
TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS: 29

San Diego
I miss San Diego. My trip to the Sony Mommy Blogger Event was awesome. I have never been to California before and San Diego was an awesome introduction. It was beautiful there. Unfortunately, we did not have a lot of “free” time for ourselves, so we didn’t get to explore too much. However, from my room, I could see a fashion show going on on the roof of another hotel. I could hear the san diego dj clear as day in my room. He was actually pretty good. He kept the crowd entertained (and me too for that matter). The show was for a younger crowd (since it looked like they were modeling prom dresses), but the music was definitely for all ages. I hope to make it back to San Diego soon. After checking with some locals, there is definitely a lot of things we can do with our kids there.

The Shopping Trip
Ok, so clothes shopping yesterday wasn’t the end of the world. I actually found everything I needed at Target. I had a gift certificate (Thanks Ted!), so I used that to buy two pairs of shorts and two shirts. I bought myself a new pair of shoes too, since I could not find my sandals (which magically appeared after I got home). Normally trying to find clothes is like looking for Kentucky Derby Party Invitations — you know, extremely hard to find. I lucked out. I also ended up buying Bill’s niece two dresses for her birthday in July. They were too cute, and I knew if I didn’t buy them now, they wouldn’t be there when I went back. Overall, it was a pretty productive shopping trip. I just wish they all went that well.
