Last weekend, after putting it off for months, I finally went through my entire collection of clothing to donate what I hadn’t worn in over a year to Goodwill. I did, however, save some jeans and a few shirts that I wore back in 2008 and hope to fit back into when I reach my goal weight.

I honestly couldn’t believe how much clothing I had! The donations filled up two huge garbage bags! I also put together two smaller bags full of clothing that I’ll take to a consignment shop and hopefully get a little extra cash. Todd already dropped off one bag to Goodwill, and I’ll probably drop off the other one tomorrow when I can stop by the consignment place.

Best part is that my drawers are no longer overflowing – I actually have three empty ones! And I think the donations gave me a little boost of good Karma because I just found out that I won something!

A few days ago, I went to the library to return a book and I saw a box to enter to win 2 tickets for a viewing of Under Our Skin this weekend. I thought, why not? I didn’t think anything of it until a lady called me today and told me I won! So I will be going with Todd on Sunday night. A little background on the movie:

“A gripping tale of microbes, medicine and money, “Under Our Skin” exposes the hidden story of Lyme disease, one of the most controversial and fastest growing epidemics of our time. Each year, thousands go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, often told that their symptoms are “all in their head.” Following the stories of patients and physicians fighting for their lives and livelihoods, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of the health care system and a medical establishment all too willing to put profits ahead of patients.”

It sounds really interesting and has gotten great reviews. The viewing will also conclude with doctors and people who were in the film answering the audience’s questions.

Friday is usually my off day for exercise, so I’ll probably spend the evening running errands and playing with the dog. Not a bad way to start the weekend.

Tomorrow I may go to a Yoga studio for a free session in celebration of National Yoga Day. Although I have done yoga at home, I have always been a little scared to do it in public. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow.

Hope you’re having a great Friday!
