Since autumn officially began last Friday, I thought I’d make this post all about my nod at the new season. Sunday: Getting ready to head to yoga. I love this top because it’s so fun, plus it’s really soft, lightweight, and comfy. Torrid has the best graphic tees! I just wish they were more affordable. [...]

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! As I stepped on the scale this morning for the weight check in that I do every few days, I was confident that I would see a drop in the number. I’ve been doing everything right. My intentions and my actions are one and the same: if I say I’m going to [...]

This? This is going to be a holiday favorite of mine, I can just tell. I’ve loved both the Skinnygirl margarita and the sangria, so I’m sure I’ll love this cosmo, too. White cranberry just says “holiday” to me. Yum! I’m glad that we get the Skinnygirl products right away where I live (they even [...]

I’m having the BEST day! I love when Mondays start out that way, don’t you? I was up right with the alarm, had plenty of time to get ready and out the door, and have been having an excellent day at work . I brought my gym bag, and am planning to hit the elliptical [...]

September has been a really long month already, and we still have one week to go! Lately I’ve been feeling like my weekends are one day too short, and everything ends up being a big blur. I think I try to fit too much in, to catch up on too much that I didn’t get [...]

Wow, it’s been FOREVER since I did a weigh-in update, right? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve really liked this new method of mine – weighing in every couple of days and tracking that progress on MyFitnessPal (more on that in a moment) and then limiting my actual “official” weigh-in posts to once a month or [...]

I love clothes, and despite the fact that my clothing choices are limited because of my “plus size,” I pride myself on dressing as fashionably as possible. I have tons of clothes – more than any one person needs, really – and I feel a point of pride when I write that I have not [...]
