Cleaning out my closet!

I cleaned out my closet and I feel a lot lighter already. I have been wanting to organize my closet and get rid of my clothes. As I was going through my clothes I would pick up items and instantly have flash backs to when I wore and how uncomfortable I was in it. Some reminded me of why I bought it. Most reasons were that it was cheap and it camoflaged my body. I tried some shirts on and I was so surprised how loose the shirts/blouses were in the arms, waist, and shoulders. I got so comfortable wearing large or x-large that I can't believe I can't fit in them anymore. Happily by the way. I remember some shirts I would tug those areas so they wouldn't cling to my body. I really don't have any clothes from years ago that I would want to wear. Too outdated or just old looking. I was really happy to get rid of my pants. I tried on some jeans that I was wearing this time last year and they nearly fell off. OMG I can't believe how big I was.
In all, I bagged 3 large black trash bags of clothing. I am donating them to Salvation Army this week. I also am donating all my maternity clothes, too. The most exciting part of this process is that I won't be that size ever again. I think that's why it was easier to get rid of those clothes. I won't be getting pregnant and I won't gain my weight back because I have the lapband. I'm only going down from here:)))))) So happy!
Wednesday, I am having the bootcamp friends and their kids over for swimming and lunch. Looking forward to hanging out. Another thing I have wanted to do for a long time is have a playdates swimming. Always came back to how uncomfortable I am in a suit. I am better now but still self conscience. Took my kids to bootcamp today, my mom usually watches them. They were so good. Matt played with the boys and Kaitlyn sat quietly in her stroller watching us work out. There were 3 other babies lined up as well. So damn cute. I looove working out. Tomorrow I am going to take the kids to the sitter and going to workout at the gym. The cutest thing today was Matthew was pretending to row on the floor. When I asked what he was doing he said he was at the gym. On Saturday he saw a guy on the rowing machine. Love my gym because when I take Matthew the guys always talks to him and say hi. He is just mesmerized by the big machines and what they are doing with them. So cute.
Tomorrow after working out I am going for a pedicure, grocery shop, pick up our San Diego pictures, clean, clean, and clean. I can't believe how quickly our house gets messy. Thursday will be my shopping day. I want to go try on that black dress from White House & Black Market, get the kids' new outfits for our family photoshoot at the beach coming up, and the party. I will need some new work clothes to replace what I just bagged up. The problem is I don't want to spend a lot of money when I plan on losing more weight and dropping a couple more sizes. So I will use my gift card from NY & Co. I also have a coupon so it shouldn't be that much. I have saved my other gift cards for Macy's and Ann Taylor for when I reach goal. I better be off to bed. Want to get up early to do some cleaning before the kids get up.
I love where I am at in life and looking forward to have a great new school year in a couple weeks. I am staying in the moment and not going to get all stressed out that I have a lot of prep work to do next week. Deep breath....
