As I lay in bed last night, I blasted myself about how I jumped off the wagon and let the dust settle over me. It has obviously been six months since I wrote... so much for competence in writing, as well.

I have been shopping on this trip and am loathe to buy ANYTHING that is not the size I want to be. Goal-setting experts say that I should divide my task into small, manageable chunks and then reward myself accordingly. My final goal will be to come back down to these outlets and spend a whack of coin on myself and feel good in my skin and in the clothes!
