Fly Away

I woke up this morning and the song Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz

came to mind

Speaking of getting away, don't you want to go for a run?

This time of year can be a bit challenging if you are not use to running

in wind and rain. It's also a bit darker outside. And Nike was thinking of 

you and profits when they created this awesome reflective jacket.

             

             

If you don't see this runner coming, you must be texting

and driving.

Now roll over, hug that pillow and forget you read this post.

Have a fantastic day!

Dressing On A Dime

How do you dress? Vintage, trendy, classic, risqué? 

I am a classic dresser with a touch of trend. 

Well, whatever way you dress, having several interchangeable pieces 

can save you time and money. 

Story time:

My grandmother introduced me to second hand stores when I was in middle school. 

At first I was appalled. I thought: Why are we buying used clothing?

That's when I learned the value of a dollar well spent. She explained "name brand" clothing, quality sewing, and the cost involved. 

She showed me Oscar de la Renta (her favorite designer) and the quality that went into the sewing and lining of the garment. 

Then she let me go and pick whatever I wanted. I had never had that freedom in a store. I found a jacket, a skirt, some pants, and a blouse. 

Present day:

Today, one of my favorite brands 

I found a suit for 12.50, a skirt for 12.97, a pair of pants for 1.79, and another pair of pants for 4.99.

These are interchangeable pieces that I can wear for years.

Some people would say I'm cheap and that's okay. I'm saving money for travel, entertainment, education and retirement. 

Mix it up, Seriously!

Okay, if you've read my blog, you will notice it's center around 

my weightloss successes and failures.

Enough of highs and lows people. I will still share my weightloss journey, but when I 

started this blog, I planned on sharing lots of cool and antidotal things. 

So now I am going to mix it up, seriously. 

Sharing cool stuff is a passion of mine, so that's what I will be doing.

My advice to you! Be badass everyday. 

Do, at least, one thing that you've wanted to do for a while (start small). 

Chart it. Critic it. Do it again.

When the opportunity comes to do something epically badass, you will be ready.

Surprise! I Am At It Again.

You know the saying, "failure is not an option"? 

Well, failure is always an option. The question is; do you want to fail?

I don't. I have reached my goal weight this year, but failed to keep it off.

So now I get to do it again. 

It's taking me a little longer, but it's gonna happen.

New goal weight. 

This will put me at a comfortable size 6 again.

Developing and focusing on the right things are

key to my success.
