It’s always fun to buy new clothes, especially when you’ve lost weight! But… I’m amazed at the lack of selection of items in smaller sizes, especially when I see SO many women on a daily basis that are smaller than I am! Where do these women find clothes? If I shop in the junior department, the styles are just not appropriate for a woman of my age.  Suggestions?  

Ok, I expected to get smaller when loosing weight and transforming my body, and that’s a generally a good thing… BUT… the day I bought a bra that was the same size I wore when I was 14, I knew that something had to be done!  So, I did a lot of research, picked a FABULOUS surgeon, did more research, looked at pictures of at least 10 million breasts, and took the plunge.  Oh, and threw in a nose job to boot. I’ve always hated my nose!

So, now it’s exactly one week from the day I went under the knife, and things are going great. I’m up and around and even drove for the first time today.  I’m going to highlight my hair and get a manicure/pedicure later this week, and will be back to work on Monday.  No working out for at least 2 more weeks, then I’ll start back at it lightly and build from there.  I swear my butt is flat from sitting on it for a week… it is!  I still have about 5 more months until swimsuit season, though… plenty of time!

How much sugar a day is reasonable? I’ve been eating what I consider to be a low amount, under 5 grams per meal unless I’m having an apple or something, but I may not have a good idea of what is low.  Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
