Been gone for a long time...

I know that I haven't blogged in a while and there is no excuse except for being lazy about it! LOL! Anyway, I just wanted to share with you all in the blog world that to start the New Year on the right foot, I'm doing a cleanse along with my good friend Hillary and my boyfriend Larry has also decided to do it with me. It's been a tough 2 1/2 days but I'm going to stick with it for a complete 7 days! I know I will feel much better at the end...but I didn't think it would be so hard not to have salt and not eat anything with sugar, no bread, no dairy...uugggghhhh! Although it's very refreshing eating all of these great fruits and veggies. And talk about all the water going right through me! I've been visiting the ladies room a million times a day!! Well I'm now watching the new season of Biggest Loser (one of my fave shows) and I'm hungry so off to get some veggies and fruit! :-)

I wish everyone a wonderful, prosperous, healthy New Year!

Playing catch up...

I had such a busy week that I just didn't have time to do my posts BUT I did take a few pics! Here they are:



Tuesday's (blurry pic) outfit: I bought this top from V and I love it! Knit pants and jewelry (NY&Co)

Wednesday's outfit: Turqouise top (Old Navy), Slacks (NY&Co), Black Patent pumps (Target), Bracelet bought on a trip to Santa Fe, NM. My cutie pie Rascal just wanted to get in on the picture...


Thursday's outfit: Head to toe NY&Co!! Well not quite, the shoes are from Target.

A New Week

I went shopping allll day on Saturday and picked up this nice Mossimo Teal Cowl sweater Target and it's so comfortable! I think I'm going to get several outfits out this...I also got the shoes I'm wearing the the pick from DSW for a great price!! The bracelet I picked up on a previous visit to Dots (I love that store).

This weekend was pretty busy...Friday night my honey and I went to see Quantom of Solace and then called it a night since I was feeling pretty tired. I had a pretty stressful week! And then we shopped all day on Saturday...which I must say was a lot of fun and I'm sooooo happy to have a man that is patient and likes to shop too! :-) And Sunday I went to my friend Holley's Roller Skating birthday party and at first I was really, really scared to get on those skates but I decided to take a stab at it and although I busted my butt and fell a few times I think I did pretty good for not trying this since I was like 12 yrs old!!! I was actually feeling sore today!

Here is a pick of my cute shoes!






And to finish on my Sunday I went to see MADONNA in concert at Minute Maid Park. I wasn't the best venue for a concert but I guess they picked the venue that would make the most money. Okay, so I was really expecting a GREAT theatrical show and I was actually somewhat disappointed. FIRST of all, she had us waiting for 2 HOURS before she came on, NO opening act just some DJ playing on stage...I had read some reviews on previous cities and sad to say it happened to us too. On review I read talked about how she's been to all of the concerts since the Like a Virgin tour and said that she was disappointed with this concert. I was just hoping that since I've never seen her that I would still be impressed. Yeah, not so much...I've been to MUCH better concerts!!! And for how much we paid for our tickets she was tiny to us! We had to watch the screen most of the time....Overall, I had a good time and I would most likely pay to see her again with hopes that it would be better.

Well I'm excited for Thursday to get here because I have tickets to see METALLICA!!! ROCK ON!

Hope everyone has a great week!

A Teal Thursday

Today was a pretty stressful day at work, had to work late too!! Ugh! Anyway, I had a nice dinner with my honey at Grand Lux Cafe (sister of Cheesecake Factory) and it was DELICIOUS, and I totally forgot how large the portions were! I think I have enough leftovers for lunch and dinner tomorrow! LOL

After dinner I went to V's to do some shopping from the clothes she's planning on selling at a garage sale this weekend. I got some really cute tops for a great deal! Thanks V!!

Here are today's outfit details: Light weight sweater (NY&Co), Knit pants (NY&Co), and some comfy shoes (Merrell's) since I felt like my feet needed a break from heels, Earrings (??), Bracelet (bought on vacation in Santa Fe, NM) I love it!

Oh yeah, and man am I sore today!!!!! I was already feeling sore from my trainer session on Monday and yesterday I went to a Lift class and I'm ULTRA sore today! But I like it 'cause I know that I got a great workout. I'll be incorporating Lift class into my weekly workouts, it's that good!

Mauving through the week...

I didn't know what the heck to wear today! I decided that it would be best to wear a sweater since the temperature was going to go down a little. Now that I see myself in this picture I realize that this outfit definitely needs something like a belt, don't ya'll think?

I decided to cut off my head because it was a bad hair day! :-(

Details:

Sweater - NY&Co

Slacks - Ross

Peep Toe Heels - Maripe
Necklace - I made this several years ago when I went through my jewelry making phase.

Totally Vested Tuesday!

I picked up this little vest from Dot's on Sunday and I love it! I was really surprised that 3 of us wore brown "vest-like" outfits! Great minds think alike! LOL! And today Katie was on the same level as us! Too funny!

Anyway, yesterday I went back to my trainer for the first time in over a month and boy can I feel it today!! But it's a great feeling knowing that I got an excellent workout! I'm starting to feel more motivated to get in the gym and back on track with watching what I eat. I was weighed and measured today and found that although the scale has been showing I've lost weight, in reality I've lost muscle! NOT GOOD! All more reason for me to get back on track! I only wish I could afford trainer sessions twice a week FOREVER!

On to the outfit:

Vest - Dot's

White Pin Stripe Shirt - Not sure where I got this

7th Ave. Slacks - NY&Co

Pumps - Scarpa (Paris)

Pearl Necklace and Studs - Gift from my Honey!

Monday's Look

I woke up late this morning and didn't have a outfit picked out I scrambled and was able to pull this together...Not bad huh!? I got several compliments on the outfit. I've had this top for awhile now and anytime I wear it people seem to comment on how much they like it. I personally LOVE this top and plan to never get rid of it. As for the shoes, I've had these for several years too! They are ultra comfortable! Here are the details:

Red Top - NY&Co

Red Cami - NY&Co

Westside Bootcut Jeans - NY&Co

Strappy pumps - Sam&Libby
