Purge

With Lent comes a need for me to get rid of lots of stuff.

Yesterday I looked in my closet for something to wear and realized that over half of my clothes haven't been worn in over a year.  They're either too big, too small, or something I just don't like. 

So I went to town.  By the end of the day, Jeremy and I had filled 5 large trash bags full of clothes/shoes/purses that we haven't worn or used in over a year.  In addition to that, we had two trash bags full of trash.

It's amazing how much stuff we had that we don't need.  And I'm one of those people who gets rid of stuff all of the time.  I feel lighter today.

And when cleaning out my purses, I found an "old" wallet that I must not have used much because it looks brand new.  My current one is falling apart at the seams.  It was nice to find a "new" wallet for myself and I didn't have to leave the house or spend any money!

It's going well, I'm down 14lbs as of a week and a half ago... Let's hope Sunday's weight in is a good one! But that's not bad for 7 weeks so far!
