HOW TO KEEP YOUR SPIRITS UP WHEN IT RAINS
I think that I need a swift kick in the rear. I was doing so well with intermittent fasting, and I was starting to feel better and see changes in my body. I didn’t lose a lot of weight, and my clothes still fit me the same, but I was looking thinner. Unfortunately, just like a New Year’s Eve resolution, it has fallen by the wayside.
I blame COVID-19 for my issues. I had a routine of weighing every morning, eating at the same time of the day, and stopping eating at the same time of night. But, once I had to start cooking at home every night, it threw me into a tailspin. Do you know how as soon as you say the word “diet” then all you want to do is eat? For some reason, that is how I’ve been lately. I keep telling myself to stop eating at 7:00 pm, but then all I want to do is grab one more thing, and then another and another. UGH! But, I am drawing a line in the sand!!! I stepped back on the scales this morning and was not surprised to see that I am back at the same weight I was in January. All of my hard work has been erased, and now it is time to start all over again. Anyone else feel my pain? Got any suggestions???
This t-shirt couldn’t have come at a better time. I just looked at the weather forecast, and it is calling for thunderstorms for the next 10 days. This shirt is perfect for wearing when you want to keep your spirits up when it rains. I have sunshine on my mind, and I am hoping that the forecast might be just a suggestion instead of a fact. Lol! My shirt might not usher in the sun, but it sure is cute. Since the shirt has a different color for each letter, you will be able to wear this with lots of different items. Today, I decided to wear it with jeans, but the next time I wear this, it will probably be with a pair of shorts. I am wearing a size large, and it fits me perfectly.
In case you wanted to see the length from the rearview, here you go. You can see that it has excellent coverage.
I love this style of sandal. The madras plaid is a pattern that I am on the fence about, and I can’t decide if I like it or not. However, I love these sandals, and I think that the pattern is super cute. I also bought the same sandal in navy, and I am trying to decide which one to keep. I don’t need both shoes, and I know the navy would be the most practical. I am wearing my usual size 9 in these sandals, and they fit great. This pattern is sold out in this sandal, but I found a few other madras plaid items that might grab your fancy.
Because this is a casual, run- around town kind of outfit, I have on very minimal jewelry. I added the AVI large hoop earrings in gold, and the Beckett gold link bracelet. I think that jewelry and accessories make an outfit. Accessories make an outfit look put together instead of just thrown together.
I love these girlfriend crop jeans, and I am always pulling them out to wear. I loved them so much that I went in and ordered the other two colors that they are available. The two darker colored crops don’t have the distressing, so for those of you who are not fans of distressing, you will be happy. I am wearing a size .5 in these jeans, and they fit me snug, but I love the way that they fit.

Psalm 3:4-6
4 I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. 5 I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. 6 I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side.
Those sandals are adorable!
Cute outfit, I love the shirt and the sandals. I have also been up and down in weight, so frustrating, it is between 8 pounds up or down… Ugh.. I am not happy with the next – how many days of rain.. I want all of this to be over soon.. Have a great week..
First of all, you don’t need to lose weight. You look fabulous! However, I know the feeling of going into a tailspin! In 2018, I lost 35 pounds and in 2019 I gained 40! I was just starting to be motivated when Covid hit and I felt like I had to cook for the hubby every day because he was home. I know it is a mindset thing, and if you can’t “get your mind right” it is impossible. Good luck! Cutting out all sugar and all sweeteners but stevia helped me lose the last time. Try that:)
So the jeans your size, is it equal to a size 10? How high is the rise? Love the T but no job yet for my hubby can’t justify 49.00 at this time. ???? It is cute though…
Love the madras plaid sandals, they are different and still will go with lots of jeans, etc…. I say keep them.
Oh Tania, now you see how many of us are in the same boat! I don’t know of one woman who doesn’t fight weight! I agree with you that quarantine was a lot more stressful than we realized. Our whole world as we knew it was upended. We are going to sort out but we may never go back to “normal”. You always look pretty but if you have a goal I know you will work toward it. It made me renew my goals too.
On t-shirts. I fall into the same category as Eve. I don’t like that hugged fit anymore. I’m 65 and I just can’t pull it off anymore. I found LINEN is my fabric at this age. I have the time to iron it now and it actually soothes me to iron! Haha! Yikes. Anyway. We love you because you love us. We are sisters together fighting coronavirus, weight, sin etc. but at least you keep our spirits up while we do it!
Tania, I love those Girlfriend jeans too! They’re my go-to jeans this summer. FYI, I did Keto, Intermittent Fasting etc etc with not a lot of success but I have lost 20 pounds on Shibboleth. It started in Georgia. I do it online. 10 more pounds to go. It’s faith-based, very effective and economical too. You can find everything at your local grocery store. Google it and check it out.
