SWINGING WITH A DENIM JACKET
Is it Friday yet??? What a day yesterday was. I tried to keep busy all day so that I wouldn’t be thinking about food constantly. Why is it if you start a new diet that you can’t think about anything else than food? Thankfully, I kept busy with work and before I knew it the day had flown by. My first obstacle will be water consumption. Yuck, I hate water. I am trying to stay away from sugar and any kind of sugar substitute so I can’t have any of the flavor packets. Instead, today I added lemon slices and it was tolerable but still not good. Lol!
Joe is being a trooper about my diet even though I have not tried to force this on him. I fixed our breakfast this morning which usually has cheese but I told him that I wasn’t eating dairy. You could have knocked me over with a feather when he said then he wouldn’t have any either. Normally you can’t find the food under his pile of cheese that he has added. He ate it and pronounced it good. He is not fooling me, let’s see what tomorrow brings. 
Yesterday I showed you a maxi dress styled with the denim jacket. It is only natural that I show you a shorter dress today. This is a swing dress from Old Navy, I love their swing dresses. They have a wide variety of styles including sleeveless, cap sleeve, and long sleeve. They also have petite and plus sizes to choose from. By the way, what do you think about my infinity scarf? I loved the colors when I spied this baby and hold on to your hats. I bought this scarf for 2.97! AND, so can you, this came from Walmart. I hardly ever buy clothing from Walmart but this happened to be on the end aisle that I was shopping in.
I have so many people that message me saying they want to join me in business but they are afraid of failing. Gurls . . . I know how you feel . . . believe me . . . I felt the same thing . . . but I have found that a fear of being broke, fear of staying in debt with no relief in sight and fear of not being able to live life to the fullest is greater than the fear of failure. I truly love the products from Rodan + Fields or I wouldn’t tell you about them. I truly love this business or I wouldn’t invite you to join me. I believe that this opportunity was put before me for a reason, just like I think the blog was started for a reason. Are “you” reading this for a reason? Go to www.tstephens5.myrandf.biz to check out the different enrollment kits. Really, what have you got to lose? You get great skin care products in the kit and the opportunity to have your own business.

I too say yuck-yuck to drinking water. I have a real struggle drinking plain water. I now add lemon all the time. I process the whole lemon into a puree and keep refrigerated. Studies continue to show that lemons are a powerful source for fighting those free radicals that cause cancer. The benefit is mainly in the peel, so consume the whole lemon. I am a 6 year breast cancer survivor, so I share this with everyone.
Good morning, Miss Tania! ?
Might I say that there is NOTHING I don’t like about this outfit! Aren’t you the cutest thing? SPICY! SAUCY!
Headin’ straight to Old Navy and Wal-Mart at lunchtime! Eeeeeee, can’t wait! Hurry up Father Time! Shopping is a great way to keep from eating! LOL!
Ice water! Icy cold is the only way I can get that gag-worthy stuff in my bod! YIKES!
Hope you have a wonderful day! ?
I can’t drink it cold. I prefer room temperature water, although I do like the “good” ice. Lol ! I need to tell Joe that I have to go shopping at lunch to keep from eating. I doubt if he will buy that.
Enjoyed your post today! (every day)
That scarf is stunning. I pinned the look immediately. I guess you know now it’ll be all your fault if I find myself going to Walmart today in the rain!!!!! 😉 Thanks!
Super cute. I saw a dress just like yours in plum at Walmart yesterday. I think it would be cute with leggings and booties later in the fall. I think I may go back and get it. I bought a super cute top on clearance for $10 bucks…woo hoo…score! Walmart is not always a pleasurable shopping experience, but ever once in a while something cute shows up. I don’t drink near enough water either. I need to get back to that. I put lemons, limes and oranges (YUM) in mine. I bought some new ear buds yesterday so I can listen to music while I walk. I’ve got to get this new life style into a norm…UGH!
You have great legs and knees and look super in a dress above the knees. Love this look on you. All the best with your healthy eating.
Love the scarf!! I feel the same way when I surprisingly find a fashion item at Walmart that I love! 😉 As for drinking water, the eating plan I was on pushed drinking “H2orange” which is just diluted orange juice – 1 part orange juice to 7 parts water. At first I thought YUCK, but I am still drinking it long after finishing the program! Full strength orange juice about gags me now – it seems so strong! Lol! It takes some getting used to but I love the shot of orange it gives plain ol’ water. And it’s very good for you because it keeps your blood sugar more regulated when you change your diet. It might be worth a try!! I despise plain water too!
That sounds good. I bought some oranges so that I can squeeze the juice into the water and then let the rest of it float in the water. It looks pretty, so maybe I will drink it.
Love the scarf too. You never know what you will find at Walmart…one of my favorite necklaces actually came from there and it was $5!!! LOL! I understand the scarf issue, I have a short neck, and I LOVE them, but HATE them smothering me. So I often wear them long as well. Best of luck with the new eating program…I went back to WW 2 weeks ago, so am struggling right along with you….I LOVE to eat, so I still feel like this is robbing me of that pleasure….Have to do it though, for health reasons…..so ONE DAY AT A TIME! Hoping my mindset will change at some point.
Love today’s outfit! I have the dress, jacket and similar scarf, I just need the booties, lol….. been looking for a pair! I think burgundy and turquoise jewelry looks so nice together! ?
I just had to have that Denim Jacket so I ordered one from Old Navy! It’s super comfy because of the stretch! Thank you for sharing!
