WOW....Another holiday is over for 2013 already.  I did pretty good with my eating yesterday how about you?  DD and I are going shopping after work for our cruise next week.  She had a baby in Jan. and the clothes she just bought a couple of weeks ago are too big already.  Thank goodness she left the tags on them and kept the receipts.

I'm so glad Max is feeling better.  I was missing my bird so much this morning and it's been months since he passed on to birdy heaven. I had one of those odd moments when I felt like I had forgotten to feed him and then I remembered he was gone.

I have giggly arms is muscle pump helping?

I'm guessing your totals are pretty good!

I am getting some really nice muscles and depending on where you are looking from, my arms look pretty good.  Neck, shoulders, etc look good.  But when I lift my arms and that extra skin is just hanging off, oh dear.  Everyone in class wears all this cute workout stuff that shows more than a swimsuit almost and although I do wear tank tops occasionally, my arms look awful.  I wish I wasn't self concious about it but am.  At the same time, I am probably the oldest or at least one of the oldest folks in there and I can do just about everything anyone else can do.  So I feel really good about that.

Mine have filled in a little but I can't move my arms away from my body....LOL

Glad Max is doing better Price!!!

I went crazy during the losing stage and then I bought some nice things after I my weight settled where it is now.  I've found that my body looks a lot better in nicer clothing so my budget does not allow much room for spending.

DD#1 and I have been shopping the last couple of weeks for our cruise and I guess I'm pickier than I used to be because I haven't bought very many things.  I did buy a pair of white shorts and I haven't owned any white pants since I was dating.  I still remember the outfit.  White shorts and a very sheer navy and white polka dotted top.  I even remember where I wore it too.  Being the Good Christian girl that I was, I look back and wonder what I was thinking and why did my mother let me leave the house dressed like that....LOL. 

Good Totals!
