Hi Ladies!
A quick FYI for you...I've added another tab to the blog called "Just for Fun." This is fun, interesting websites/blogs that are, well, as the name implies, just for fun. I was told about one of the blogs "Kendi Everyday" by one of my good friends. Kendi recently issued a challenge, called '30 for 30' where you take 30 different items from your closet (shirts, pants, skirts, shoes, etc.) and wear them in ways you may not have worn them before. Do you always wear the same shirt with the same pants? Well, mix it up and wear that floral top with those striped slacks! It's a great way to look at clothes/outfits in ways you didn't before. In a way, it's kinda like a remix. Looking at things just a tad bit differently. And that's a really good way to see things! Since we're dropping digits...It'll give us a chance to experiment with our clothing and try out new looks with our new bodies!
My remix for yesterday was belting a cardigan! Whoo-Hoo! I really stepped out of bounds on that one didn't I? ;-) But you know what? It was a cardigan that I wasn't quite so fond of and when I decided that I was going to add a belt to it (remember, belt at the smallest part of your waist for definition! Thank you 'What Not To Wear'!), I actually LOVED the look! And the best part, I even had several compliments on it! Today, I stepped out of my comfort zone again and changed things up...I tucked my straight leg jeans into my tall boots! First time I've ever done such a thing. I have to say, I felt oh so trendy! Very chic! I know these aren't so called 'big changes' but you know what, I'm trying new things, doing things differently than I have previously. Which honestly, is what our Biggest Loser competition is all about. We're stepping out of our comfort zone and doing things differently. Yay for us!
Hope you all have had a great week so far. Whether you've decided to eat am extra veggie a day or try that new workout dvd, you're making changes and mixing it up. And that's what this is all about.
I hope you all have a great weekend everyone! See you next Sunday!

Love your blog and changing things up with fashion....this may be hard for Rachel and I we have what we call our standard "go out" outift it usually only changes once a season...lol
ReplyDeletewe tend to get stuck in a rut..so this is a perfect example for us to try and go by!
Will gather together the info for the big climb sign up we will just be a part of Pilchuck Vet Clinic's team great fun and great cause for anyone who wants to participate!
I may have to have a cheeze its intervention Im still having problems kicking the habit!!
Oh goodness Connie! That is hilarious! You know, I think we all have our go-to outfits. I know I do. I'm trying to switch things up here and there and keep it interesting. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't! Oh well, trial and error. That's what it's all about though isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOn Sunday, I'll give everyone a quick tutorial on how to post to the blog. I now have everyone added as an author so all of us can add to the blog whenever we feel like it. Hooray!
Hang in there Connie. Stay strong against the Cheese Its! :-) Or, a little trick that you could do to make sure you don't go overboard is to package up in baggies what an actual serving size is. I've done that before and when I'm done with what's in the baggie, I know I've had a serving of the snack.
