8 Hours

I know it's only been about 8 hours since I posted my blog last night, but it was a quickie and not a full detail blog.  LOL  Although, now that I am up and moving, I'm not sure I even remember what I wanted to talk about!  I am just too tired.  Although, the baby only got up the one time last night so I'm not doing too rough.  How are all you ladies doing out there???  Oh, and Happy Mother's Day to those with little one's -- human and furry!  :D

I went to finish up my shopping yesterday.  I went to JCPenney's and Kohl's.  Ended up not buying anything at Penney's, though.  I did find one shirt, but I kept thinking it didn't really 'feel' like me and it was $30.  But it was this bright lime green plaid top.  I think part of the issue is that it was an XL and *gasp* I think I needed an L.  :O  Yup.  It was HUGE.  I thought it was just the cut until I got to Kohl's.  Then a couple of the tops THERE seemed way too big.  Not to mention I tried on bras (I'm desperate!) and where the bras use to feel tight and pinch, they felt great!  I got Lilyette.  Seems like those and Maidenform fit me pretty well.  But honestly, I like the Lilyette a bit better.  They're just more comfy with the wider band, wider straps, and fuller cup.  BUT, the stance is still low so that they don't show in your shirts.  I just loved it!  I got two -- one black and one nude.  And 3 pairs of undies.  I know it cost a small fortune, but it was SO worth it.  I have been chucking my old bras.  I'm sick of falling straps, hard to hook, constantly rolling bras.  And I was tired of feeling like the girls were dragging.  LOL

Other than the bras and undies, I bought two shirts and two pairs of shorts and one set of earrings.  I hadn't planned on the earrings!  But when I got them home I noticed they were a bit crunched.  So, I may have to take those back.  I like the look on, but I don't know if I love them enough to put up with the weird bend in them.  So, I may take them back.  The shorts, well, I got the shorts because I am out of time and I need one more pair.  But I don't LOVE them.  So, I may take them back.  The tops, well, I like them a LOT, but I am thinking one should be a size smaller.  If not both.  That's always awesome!  Not to mention I am SURE we will probably shop while we are down in Orlando.  The resort we are staying at is very close to shopping and since we are going to be there for so long, I know we'll go shopping.  Maybe I should take the earrings and the shorts back and just wait on that stuff until I get to FL.  That is sounding more and more like what I want to do.

Speaking of vacation, I've been looking over my calendar and I guess I am going to have to weigh-in early.  No other way of doing it.  So, I will be weighing-in Weds. morning before we leave.  I know that cuts my cycle a bit early (like 3 days) but I have no other way to do it other than to take a scale with me.  Andddd.... since we're flying I'm not willing to do that.  LOL  And what is my plan for vacay?  I plan on eating moderately while we are there.  I have no illusions of losing, but I hope that whatever weight I see on Weds. AM, I am able to maintain.  We are renting a condo, so I am hoping that I will be able to have pretty good food without eating out every meal.  And even then, I am going to try to make good food choices.  BUT, if I don't have access to something, I'm just going to go with the flow.  Not worth the stress.  My goal really is to be good most of the time.  Yup.  MOST.  LOL

OK, well, I guess now that I've told you of shopping and of plans for weigh-in and food, I should go.  I need to get up from here and get started on my day.  I am thinking I really want to get this house cleaned up before we leave so that I don't come home to dirtiness.  I don't have a ton to do, but I'd like to get the bedrooms picked up really well, all the laundry done, and maybe even the floors cleaned today.  Then tomorrow maybe dusting and other odds and ends like dishes, etc.  Then Tuesday it will be all about last minute things and maintaining the clean.  LOL  I also need to drag out the suitcases today.  UGH.  I guess I'll put the stuff back under the stairs if I drag those out.  Might as well knock out as much as I can at once, ya know!?!  I will have to finish organizing all that stuff when we get back from vacay.  I won't even tell you all the coolness that we are doing to turn our staircase into functional hidden storage.  teehee!

OK, have a great day ladies!!!
