I am just starting back on this get healthy journey. One of my past favorite motivations was to hang a cute outfit that I am looking forward to fitting back in to. This morning I put my flirty yellow, black and white chiffon skirt up where I could see it with a sexy black top and strappy heels. I plan to put up outifts that will fit in 5 pound increments. My favorite clothes are my nice skirts and pretty dresses.
Dilemma...Where am I gonna go? My lifestyle in these past few years has changed. I am a single Grandma. I dont necessarily want to treat my weight loss with meals and cocktails. My clothes are too dressy for church......But I really miss dressing up and looking pretty.
Any suggestions? Plus money is tight but I am willing to splurge a little from time to time.

    Maybe go to a concert, or a broadway type play or musical? This is what I usually dress up for. =)

    Find a non-profit that supports something you are passionate about and see if they have a yearly fundraising gala?

    I say where it ANYWHERE!! Once it fits where to the store. I often stop off at the store either coming or going from a date. No one knows where you have been or where you are going. It is also a bit fun to have the inquiring looks of -hmm... wonder what she is dressed up for. Just a thought.

    My hubby and I are involved in regional professional theatre (he music directs and conducts the orchestras at show time) I am a professional audience member! LOL

    Your out fit seems perfect for wearing to theatre, concerts, musicals, plays, etc. At least that is how I dress for it, and you are right it is FUN!!!

    So find a friend and see some shows and concerts, most events outside of big cities are reasonable priced! I could also see you strolling through a museum dressed lovely. People would think you are some weathly heiress considering for her own art collection......skies the limits girl!

    Have fun and good luck!

    Check out museums, galleries and other cultural places that might have a free night or an opening . Indoor and outdoor (botanical gardens for example)

    Also, see if any movie theaters do classic movie showings as people usually dress up for them. There is a wonderful theater in my hometown that shows classic movies on certain nights all summer and it's such an event- Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Seven Year Itch, Double Indemnity, The Appartment, Murder By Death and too many others. Fun event and reasonable prices.

    I love everyones advice. Especially the advice to wear it to the store or anywhere. I think I will do that. I just received our local community paper today and there was a list of the free music venues in my area. I will definitely be looking forward to going to my local grocery store, barnes and noble then out to a local restaurant for a glass of white wine and great music while wearing something pretty and flattering. How fun and exciting. Thanks all! I cant wait to reach my first goal!
