The Memorial Day Miracle.

Tank and jeans: Old Navy

Okay. The title may or may not have been a little bit of a hyperbole. but really. I had seen the ads for the memorial day sales but I mean it isn't black Friday so walking into the mall Monday morning I had no idea the savings I was in store for. Get it. in store for. This cardigan is one of them. It is from LOFT, a store which I have never bought anything full price from ever. Matter of fact. Everything I own from there is like ridiculously reduced clearance. This cardigan which will be worn year round came out to less than $7!

So ANYWAY

LOFT had 50% off already reduced clearance.

Gap had 40% off all women's- cant wait to show you the shirt I got for $3.98!

and to think. I could be on some lake being sunburned right now.

 Okay so here's the deal. Lately I have really trying to get into gear as far as eating healthy and working out. and so far so good, if you call far a week. But knowing myself, my problems will arise when I have no one to hold me accountable. and that's where you guys come in.

Once a week I will be publishing a post with a title that starts with [fitpost],as does this one, that has my routine for the past week plus interesting articles and recipes and things I have found on the Internets.I know one thing that keeps me dressing cute is the fact that I know I have a blog to maintain. I have no idea if yall will even be reading these fitposts but the fact that I have put it out there now will hopefully hold me to it.  I was thinking about posting  a before picture this first week but I am a spoonful too prideful for that.

So here we go

My routine this week:

M: uphill climb for 45 minutes on the treadmill

T: abs and legs

W:HIIT and arms

F: 1.5 hour Trampoline workout

S: Walked around Byron Nelson golf tourny in hothothot sun( I know this isn't really a workout but it wore me out)

S: Yoga

Photo Fail

So today I took the outfit pictures without really reviewing them between each round. Guess home girl got her timing off. Every picture has hair being fixed or an awkward arm.

Except this one.

So enjoy.

The rest of the outfit doesn't get much better. Jeans and white flats. fairly easy to picture right?

Man, It sure is a good thing I have the class load of a third grader because I have gotten quite busy other wise. I have to have time to read Hunger Games. If you have read it, you understand. Right now I am totally wrapped up in their world. Thank goodness I got to the beginning of book two where I can get on with my life a little bit more.

Friday night I went and saw Chris Young at Taste Of Addison with a bunch of friends and had a blast. Those of you who live in DFW know the waterfall that was Friday afternoon so I do not have cute concert outfit pics as I wore whatever matched my rubber rain boots.

I also finally saw Bridesmaids. Hilarious. I liked it BETTER than the Hangover.

My schedule is quickly filling up with lots of little events like Rangers games, Grad partys, pinning ceremonies, and although they are fun, you know what they do to the time...

Bloggers tie it up.

Tuesdays

Dress: Thrifted Cardigan: XXI Bangles: Canton Shoes: Walmart

I had a happy Tuesday.

The weather is beautiful.

The wind was kind on my borderline too short dress.

I got a kindle for basically free.

Hopefully my luck continues as I continue on with more mundane tasks.

PS.

Why are there a million little pieces to graduation announcements? and why did I sign up for this?

Photo shoots with friends

This was my outfit.

Dress: Walmart

This is my friend Dani. She joined in on the photo shoot while we were at the mall. She was a littttle camera shy at first, but I have high hopes. She is my future roommate so you all will likely be seeing alot of each other.

You see, things got windy.

and just wacky. I don't even know.

Tonight I am half attending/half leading our churches girls retreat since I kinda have one foot out the door. Jen Strickland is speaking. She tells this hilarious story about spanx. The theme is flawless. Sounds peaceful right? Dont be decieved. There is a flashmob involved.

And blogger, can we behave now?

It didnt eat my last post, just the comments on it.

Taking Advantage

Skirt: JCrew

Jacket: Levis

Tank: LOFT

Shoes: Marshalls

Seeing as today was the last day this week I wont be testing, I took advantage and wore a skirt. Because who wants to worry about crossing their legs when they have four timed essays to write. And may or may not be hindered by the laziness they have developed since that class...27 weeks ago. and may or may not be watching youtube videos that start off with "ap cram review..." to study.  

So here I am in a skirt.

More than you cared to know? Sorry. This is being written as a "studying break". My mind wont switch off from the boring stuff and onto the pretty stuff. No worries, it wont be like this forever. Wait til I sit down in the testing room tommorrow and all will be back to normal.

Floral Participation.

Sweater: Gap

Shirt: Hanes

Jeans: AG

Shoes: Sears

You can hardly tell it, but my scarf is floral print. You see, today begins a long week of ap testing for me and to top it off I have the worst migrane of my life. But I just HAD to participate in EVERYBODY EVERYWEAR. And since it was testing day, I basically dressed like I would for a flight, with soft loose layers that still look cute. One down, two to go.
