woot!

so, i went into new york & co. randomly yesterday just because i felt like wandering around the mall. they had a ton of sales, and i've always liked their quality of clothes. i grabbed a bunch of size large tops that i liked and headed to the dressing room.

and they were too big!! that's always a good feeling! i grabbed size mediums of the same tops, and they were a perfect fit. woo!

i saw a few suit coats hanging up that were on sale, so i tried on a size 10 (what my other suit coats are). it was too big. how could this be?! i held my breath and tried on an 8, but it was a little snug (like i couldn't raise my arms very high). ah well.

now if we're talking about pants, that's a different story. even though my workout pants have gotten baggy, i don't think i've gone down in size.

i tried on a swimsuit the other day. was not impressed. hmmm. my sister told me that being more tan will help disguise my cellulite. i have to work on my tan anyway so i don't burn horribly again in california. hopefully it helps! :P

oh and i pushed myself really hard at the gym on sunday and am still sore. oy.

i have to keep telling myself that i can do a lot more exercising outside of my regular gym workouts. the women's health magazine site has a bunch of good at-home workouts (including yoga! i should really start doing that!) that i think i'm going to try. luckily, they not only have pictures on how do do the moves, but also video clips. sweet!
