After having breakfast with my dad on Sunday, I did a little shopping. It was time for a few spring colors. My closet consist of so much black and gray, it was literally screaming at me! “Buy some color!!” We are taking a trip to California Wine country at the end of this month with some friends, and I had an idea of a few things I wanted. Since gaining a few pounds, I haven’t bought anything because I was afraid I would have to buy a size 12 or a large, but I didn’t!! Yay! I bought size 10 white jeans (after trying on 20 pair!!) and a two pairs of size M pants that are colorful and will be fun to wear with flat sandals and a jean jacket. The tops I bought were a Medium and fit great. I was pleased.
Check out these PANTS!!! Too much?? I don’t care. I love em!
These striped pants are like “gaucho” pants from back in the day. They are just above the ankle. Feel’s like P.J.’s which explains why I love them. LOVE my Target Hat!!
I haven’t stepped on the scale in several weeks now (a decision I consciously made) and I am going more on how I feel and how my clothes feel, and doing my best to eat healthy, drink water and exercise. I know that I am still up 8 pounds or so, which doesn’t allow me to get into the jeans and shorts that I did buy in a size 8 last year. I will get there.
After shopping, Mike and I worked in the yard chopping down all of the tall grasses and finishing up trimming all of the bushes. Lot’s of raking and mowing and trimming. Bring on Spring!!
We took our Son and Daughter-In-Law to dinner to finish hearing about the trip that the two of them just took to Ecuador. They are making a documentary about a non-profit company that provides amputee’s with prosthetics that they are not able to afford. They met some incredible people with some amazing stories. A friend of theirs works for the company and they have been discussing the possibility of this trip for awhile now, so they decided Spring Break was the perfecto opportunity to do just that. I can hardly wait to see the finished product!
