Far too long and Life is Good

This was a crazy weekend.  We had a lot of busy work to do Saturday then Sunday we drove out of town to meet a friend of ours we hadn't seen in 4 years.  She moved away and we've kept in touch via Facebook so I know she's seen me / our weight loss.  Like most people who haven't seen us in a while, it's still kind of fun to see their jaws drop in person or say "your pictures don't do you justice at all."  She kept saying how we're "disappearing" and couldn't believe how different we looked.  I have to say, I really kind of needed that.  It topped off the 7 lb loss for the month and was a good reminder that yes, we've come a long way. I wish she lived close to us again.  I really miss her and her positive, outgoing attitude.  It felt so good to be out and about.  I even wore heels!  I might wear them like twice a year but it felt nice to gussy up a bit and I was having a "thin day."  You know, when you look at pics taken that day and go..."yeah...I looked as good as I thought I did."  Those tend to be rare.

She attended a wedding with some of my old co-workers and I guess one of them said he'd heard I lost a lot of weight so it's getting around.  I didn't get to attend the get together of my old co-workers when they gathered a month or two ago so hopefully they'll have another one when I've made more progress.  But back to our time with our friend.

We had lunch at a restaurant we'd been to a few times.  This meal was a little disappointing taste wise but I was so busy flapping my gums I didn't let it ruin our time together.  Afterward we did a little shopping and ended up at the Life is Good store.  We didn't even make it inside before loading up on three shirts, one of which was this one for me...

I'm wearing it right now.  It reminds me of our pup and how much she loved to curl up in the front of the fireplace and sleep.  I got a Christmas shirt the last time we were there too.  They need to stop making cute Christmas shirts or I'm in trouble.  I also assumed I wore an XL but apparently I'm between sizes and the large I bought as a goal shirt fit...

I could live in these shirts.  They're so comfy, positive and just make you feel good.  They feel better when they're on sale.

We got home a little late but still went down and did the scheduled circuit.  I burned 915 calories which isn't too bad!  We had dinner and a snack and settled in for the night.  I was a pooped pup but am ready to get some stuff done today.  

What did you do this weekend?
