Natural

June 20, 2011

These light colors are perfect for a Friday in the summertime.  Light and airy.  I just wish I didn’t look so “fluffy” in this outfit.

Note to self: Don’t wear clothes that accentuate your lack of waistline.  It doesn’t look good.

I have gained a few pounds in the last month or so.  When we got back from Vegas, which coincided with the end of Lent and my candy/chocolate fast, I was 125 lbs.  I got on the scale this Monday and came in at 131.5.  I have worked out every day for the last two weeks and did almost 17 miles on the elliptical last week.

Where is the scale love??

Apparently it is in the bottom of the wine glass.  Must reduce wino drinkage and high calorie meals.

I’m working on it.  At least my thighs and butt are getting toned.  I think the crunches are making my tummy appear bigger because there is now actual muscle under the layer of fluff.  Not liking that development.

I don’t usually wear a necklace when I am wearing this shirt.  It is so busy that it doesn’t really seem to need more up there around the neck.

I straightened my hair, and I realize why I don’t like time intensive hair styles.  It takes a good ten minutes to do it and that is way too long for me.  I need a 5 minute ‘do, tops.  Trying to get me and the kids out of the door on time in the morning is proving to be quite the untenable task.

I need to go through my closet again and put together outfits that work.  I changed several times this morning, and still ended up with a lackluster ensemble.  I don’t have time for that!
