We are Awesome!!!
So my sister and her family are home and I feel like I got run over by a truck. Twice last week I overslept and was making the mad dash to get myself to work. My thought of oversleeping is the fact I wasn't up early enough to get in my exercising and it just throws off my whole day.
I did not find capris I guess I'm in between sizes. But as we now have snow again I guess I have time to find some.

I feel bad for my daughter she put on weight her last year in college and is now in Grad school and she told me how her boyfriend's mother told him she would take her out and show her how to dress properly. She knows how to dress she just doesn't want to spend the money on clothes right now. So we went to the drawer and I handed her 5 or 6 tops and said how about this? She was that's good mom. You all know yes I think my daughter needs a new wardrobe but when she is ready. Why is it that other people think I don't want what's best for my child I just know when they get to a certain age you have to let them make the decision that it's time on their own. thus I have the magic drawer when I find something I know would look good on her in her size in a non threatening color I pick it up. When I know she is coming I put the said item on so she thinks it's mine then I ask her if it's too young or how does the neck look. then when she finds it in the magic drawer she thinks oh mom decided against that.

time for me to get ready for work til later everyone.

@CaptainBoing I love how nothing gets you down. . . you adjust and go on. It's inspiring!

@2020pinktogo you are very clever. I like how you figured out a way to give without intruding. I don't have a daughter (2 boys) but I still know that support needs to be provided in an unobtrusive way or it can be met with much resistance. You're doing good mom!

@NewOR2015 we are an awesome team!

So for the last I don't know how many years I have lived in dark colors. My bathing suit was black my coat was black pants everything seemed to be black. Now that I have lost weight Oh I like color. My bathing suit is purple . My new winter coat is Magenta, I have t shirts in every color of pink and purple and blues. Yoga pants are still black I like black pants. My husband said Wow there is a lot of color in that laundry basket. I like color did I just not feel comfortable in it when I was heavy? was I just hiding in general? Gives me something to think about.

My “Slim by Summer” Goal

3/21: 160.8 (Beginning Weight-when I started tracking for this summer goal)
3/28: 158.5 (Last Week’s Weight)
4/04: 157.2 (Current Weight)
6/20: 143 (Goal Weight - 1st day of summer)
(Lost 1.3 lbs last week. Have 14.2 lbs to go by June 20th.)

Today started off totally chaotic with plumbers coming to the house to replace my broken geyser and technical fixing the broken crocodile enclosure. I needed to be at both places to supervise which was clearly not going to happen! In the end, I delegated to other staff and went home. That meant a day binge watching TV series which is horrible for my motivation, but then I joined the me game of Thrones challenge here on mfp and was inspired to do something active. 20 min on the exercise bike and some core exercises! At least now I can shower in my cottage instead of trekking over to my parents every day.

Tomorrow is my next bio session and I want to try the weights class at my gym.

I went out and bought capris today and I stepped out of my comfort zone again!!!! My sister will tell you that my capris are all one color Khaki every shade of khaki there is. Not today I tried on every color but no KHAKI I even tried on prints. I can honestly tell you I am not to the print stage yet. I got denim, grey and a pair I know would freak out my sister as they were black but they had these super pockets in them. pockets were trimmed in a bright color but I figure if my shirt were untucked no one would notice and they were so comfortable. Bottom line the pockets sold me. I'm so tired of everything not having a decent pocket in it. How come they have to either bedazzle the rear end or put huge buttons on the back pockets. Men do have it so much easier their clothes are just basic.

Well crazy called in so I have to get ready for work. Hope you all had a great day!!!!

I was telling this customer that I miss pockets where you have room for keys and phone and a wallet and that's all in one pocket. Men's pockets are all the same size i measured them. Shoot they even get a pocket in their swim trunks. Who did we tick off? LOL

OMG my sister found out I wear a fanny pack when I go walking and she was like OH NO YOU DON'T. I'm like it's the park it's not a fashion statement and well maybe afterwards I run to the store. I made sure I didn't use it when we were together. LOL I was afraid she would take it and destroy it and I love my 80's fanny pack.

Good luck @JMarcella57 may you find exactly what you're looking for with pockets!!!
So my new bathing suit arrived I really like it then today I got a notice the pool will be closed this summer for maintenance. UGH!!!! If only they had sent me the notice 2 weeks sooner.

Have my new swimsuit and a trip planned to Florida in about 2 weeks. Hoping for nice weather while we're there.

@2020pinktogo - The kiddie pool sounds like a viable option.

I had a good Sunday. I joined the latest Game of Thrones challenge which started and it was Ironman in my hometown so I got in 40 minutes of walking up and down to go and watch certain stages. After work I hung out with my friends cheering on my sports massage therapist as she completed the event! For the first time ever I felt like it would actually be possible to do the ironman, not that I want to, but it's nice to realise that I could actual do it, if I wanted to. I think I will aim at doing some triathlons in the next season!
