Where's the XL

      Happy Easter Everyone!  I hope everyone had a wonderful time with friends and family today, I know I did!  Mandy and I took advantage this morning and slept in, which I really needed.  I rolled out of bed to a beautiful sunny Sunday morning.  I headed out for a 6 mile tempo run around 11:30 this morning, with a temp of around 60 and barely a cloud in the sky.

     The run went pretty well, no dogs tried to take me out this time, but a horse came to the fence to say hello so I snapped a quick picture.  I was able to hold close to what I hope will be my race pace for my half marathon next weekend.  I stopped a couple of times to take pictures just because it was so nice out I thought it would be fun to share.
     After my run, Mandy and I got around and headed to my sister's house for a wonderful Easter lunch.  We had ham, au gratin potatoes, green bean casserole, grape salad and biscuits.  The ham, potatoes and biscuits were good, but the others I wouldn't know, not really my cup of tea!
    
     I did wanna quick share my Friday morning with you if I may.  The shirts that I have to wear for work can be quit expensive and with my consistent weight loss trying to keep up with shirts that fit can be a little tough on the wallet.  Having said that, I have a couple XL that fit me pretty well and 3 or 4 XXL that are getting pretty big, actually I am swimming in them.  Friday when I was looking for a shirt all I could find clean was the XXL so I said screw it, I grabbed one and headed to work.  For some reason lately I have really been diggin' the plaid shirts and I noticed a new one we had gotten in that I wanted but hadn't bought it yet.  The fact that I was swimming in my current shirts was bugging the hell out of me so I decided to finally buy it.  Now in my mind I still feel like I should be wearing an XL, so that's the size I was looking for.  Do you think I could find it, NO.  I asked the dept manager "where's the XL?" and of course it was already gone.  I was extremely bummed, but she suggested I try on the large.  I told her I doubt it will fit but I will give it a try.

Well as you can see I was wrong and it fit!  I took my shirt out to the car and took a quick selfie to celebrate the occasion.  It just amazes me sometimes how good these little things can make you feel and boost your confidence.
I would love to hear about your little victories, so feel free to share it in the comment section below!
