Halloween Update!

So it's been a little over a week since my last post - pretty hectic around here actually. Saturday, Oct. 24th, I manned a booth at a local festival to promote our children's program at church. While I was setting up the booth, one of the church members working a different booth pulled me aside and informed me that the wonderful woman who ran our preschool program had passed away early that morning. Not the best way to start a Saturday. She was such a loving, kind, generous, and patient woman - her family is an integral part of our church. As the children's director, I would not be able to do half of the things I do without them. The worst part is her death was sudden. She wasn't sick, had been out shopping with her daughter the night before, and (I was told at the visitation) that before she went to bed that night she had been studying her preschool bible lesson for Wednesday night class. :0(

On a lighter note, I did sell a TON of my "fat" clothes that afternoon!!! :0) made over $200 by selling clothes I've slimmed out of to a friend of mine who is also losing weight and has shrunk out of her clothes. It was kinda sad though, because I really liked a lot of those clothes - I mean I know it's good that I can't fit in them anymore, but they were really cute clothes lol :0)

Oh - and at the end of Saturday, my dad (while working on/tinkering with a generator) fell and seriously twisted his ankle. I drove him to the ER where we found out that he didn't break anything but he did tear his muscle. Needless to say, he was on crutches for several days.

As far as my weight goes, I've not done so well - I haven't gained any over Halloween, but I haven't lost either - I'm at a bit of a plateau. (Of course it would help if I would get back on the elliptical - I usually work out while watching one of the best shows ever: Glee!...but it has been on hiatus for the past 2 weeks and my elliptical motivation has plummeted).

Speaking of Halloween, I do have a photo of my costume - well, most of my costume. I don't have the wings on, or the skirt (which is ok because I didn't actually wear the skirt - it was wayyyyy tooo cold!) Anyway, Check it out:

Did I mention that I LOVE my new corset?! 'Cause I do! It is freakin' awesome!!!! Fits perfectly, shapes, holds, and firms - seriously this thing is fantastic! Got sooooo many complements on my costume :0)  and my weight loss :0) Yay!!

But hey, this post is getting long, and it's getting late so I'm wrapping up here. More posts to follow

See you in bloggerville!
