Damn If You Do..... Damn If You Don't

Good Morning All,

This week has been rather interesting.  I have been really busy.  I start my two new jobs this week.  My main full-time job, I start tomorrow.  I have also accepted a position at Ann Taylor on the weekends.  About 5 years ago, I worked at Ann Taylor Loft part-time.  I need the extra income since I have been out of work for almost 5 months.  I have a daughter that will be going away to college in two years and the hubby and I maybe moving back into the city... Lord willing.  Well, this week I unpacked my summer clothes to go through them.  To my amazement and dismay, none of my clothes fit properly.  I have lost 30 pounds in 3 months.  The weight just started dropping when I took up running.  I now run about 5 hours a week and 3 hours a week on the elliptical machine.  I also weigh train about 4 hours a week.  My body has definitely changed.  I have the V shape going on.  However, I have lost weight in places that I didn't want to lose like my breast and glutenous maxi mus.  This is to my husband's dismay and my body as well.  I have discovered a long time ago, that I am naturally curvy with a lot of muscle mass.  I have an hourglass figure and I don't look right small.  My head looks enormous.  Well to celebrate the fact that I need to go shopping to buy clothes for my new body and job; I ordered two pairs of jeans from Ann Taylor Loft in a size 8.  I gave away all of my size 10 jeans because they were too big.  I received the jeans in the mail and tried them on...... they were too big.  So, off to the post office they went and I ordered a size 6 in the two pairs of jeans.  I hope these fit. 


Members that attend the same gym as me told me I don't need to lose anymore weight.  I am stuck in a dilemma because I love to run now.  I purchased two pairs of running shoes by Puma and Mizuno that I absolutely love.  The running is not only helping me lose weight but I am losing muscle mass as well. When I went on this weight loss journey, I wanted to lose body fat and keep and gain muscle.  I want that lean and cut appearance.  I was told by a trainer to cut down on the running.  I am afraid because I don't want to gain weight.  Any suggestions?

Many, Many Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, blessings!

Happy New Years 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                               . Blessings to All,  It has been a long time coming for this post. The last time I blogged was back in May 2014.  Fast forward to January 1, 2015.  I am very happy to see another year.  I am so glad that 2014 is in the past.  Today is a time to look forward to new opportunities.  On my agenda this year is to get better and wiser.  I am on the path of eliminating baggage out of my life. I am very much interested in the minimalist movement.  A minimalist voluntarily simplifies their life.  It can include buying less things, reducing consumption, working less, and even eliminating toxic things from your life.  I always admired the Japanese culture.  They practice minimalism; however some may argue that is due ...

Transition from summer to fall in style.... Ann Taylor Friends and Family

Good Evening All, I have been busy, busy, busy.  Trying to get acclimated to my new routine.  I went to my job today to get my carrot juice I left over the weekend and I left with the task of passing out Friends and Family fliers to people that I know.  Ann Taylor is having their Friends and Family sale beginning on August 2, 2012 through August 5, 2012.  This is the perfect time to save 30% off of your entire purchase.  Ladies, this is the time to stock up on your tropical wool suiting.  Down below I am wearing one of the skirts from the Fall collection. Don't mind the blurred picture.  I still don't know how to operate a camera properly.  I love the nautical themed skirt.  If you are an Ann Taylor card member, you can enjoy a special preview shopping day Wednesday, August 1st.  Also, I am including a promo code to be used online, FRIENDS1 at checkout.
