29 and Counting

I spotted a gigantic toadstool in the front yard this morning. I was so intrigued by it that I stopped my car, backed up and parked haphazardly in front of the house to snap this photo. The cap was at least six or seven inches across.

Cool.

But I'm not blogging tonight about mushrooms. Nope. It's Weigh Day and Dillypoo is pleased as punch to announce that she lost 3.6 pounds this week for a grand total of 29 since January!

Nobody was more stunned than I. After all, I ate at Babe's on Sunday!

I am still constantly amazed at what a difference exercise makes. I managed to fit in my treadmill or a walk in the park five days out the past seven. And I cleaned house with a vengeance on Sunday, which I guess counts for some kind of physical exertion.

One of the things I cleaned out on Sunday was my closet. I have officially removed every piece of clothing that was too big for me. I sent four bags of clothing to Goodwill:

Which left my closet pretty bare:

The world is on official notice: Dillypoo will be wearing a lot of jeans and t-shirts for the next few months. Putting together a transition wardrobe while on a weight loss journey can get expensive.

Thank goodness for Super Target!
