Wardrobe Wednesday

I am still a little stunned. At 46 years old, I knew that my metabolism had slowed and it would be close to impossible to lose weight easily, if at all. I accepted that and was totally okay with my size 10 (creeping up on size 12) pants.

I started eating Primal/Paleo not all that long ago. Was it January? I started living this lifestyle to be healthier. I do feel healthier. In fact, I feel great! And without even trying, the weight started coming off. I couldn't believe it.

My jeans have been getting bigger . . . and bigger. It was becoming very obvious that my jeans just didn't fit. I finally gave in and conceded to buying one pair of jeans. I hate to shop. I headed over to Kohl's and grabbed a pile of size 8 jeans. I tried on every pair and they fit . . . sort of. They were a little loose, and I knew that by the end of the day they would "give", as jeans do, and likely be too loose.

Heading back out to the piles of jeans I searched for a size 6 short. I am only 5' 3" after all.

There was one pair.

One.

I took them back to the fitting room.

I pulled them up.

I buttoned them.

I zipped them.

And they fit.

They actually fit!


Thank you, Freckles, for taking this photo for me. : )

Now head on over to Aliceson's, Feet Off the Table, to see what all the cool kids are wearing.

Lemonade Mouth

Have you seen the Disney movie, Lemonade Mouth, yet? We have it recorded on our DVR and have watched it umpteen times. Yes, it is quite the hit. We also bought the soundtrack and are excited at the possibility of a Lemonade Mouth tour.

The movie is actually pretty darn good and I like the music, which is a good thing. We listen to it A LOT. The coolest thing about the movie and music is how it has inspired Princess.

Using her (very girlie) Tinker Toys, she created a guitar . . .

. . . and microphone with a stand!

Princess can often be found jamming with Lemonade Mouth. She has always been very into music, but since this movie, that love has grown exponentially.


Rock on , Princess!!!
