Losing Weight New Clothes - New Life - New Choices

Well friends, I did a girl thing. For the first time in Years! I bought clothing -more than one piece. Since losing 50 lbs I have to have clothes that fit and I feel good in, and don't have my "old story" attached to them. Like cutting my hair, getting rid of personal history: New Clothes, New Life, New Choices.

After the 10 years of menopausal weight, I took control of my diet and portions. There was no pool open so I had to depend on Youtube workouts, and I did loose over 50lbs. Of course my clothing is very loose and other than my yoga pants which I took in on the sewing machine, my pants kept slipping off. So talking to my neighbors, I would be clutching my waistband to keep my pants up, and I realized... me-the clothing person-needed new clothes. 

So went shopping to see what my new body looks like? It was very interesting to watch myself reach for the 2x and my girlfriend say, "Kristena-try a Large or Medium!" Surprising how most all the clothing is geared toward Small's in Santa Barbara! 

Now our pool has opened up and I am wearing my newly designed rash guards!! Woot! I love them! Comfortable has two-way stretch and UV protection. Here's .... I think my first Selfie... This is actually my swimsuit and my "real-life" clothes are in my Frida Kahlo tote bag

Whatever size you are celebrate being alive today!

Be Kind & Get Out in Nature!

Think of your bathroom as your personal retreat — a place to pause, refresh, and refill your energy. Choose colors that evoke your mood: serene aquas for calm, sunny corals for joy, or gentle florals for that garden-in-bloom feeling. Pair your curtain with plush towels, a few green plants, and a scented candle, and you’ve created a spa right at home. The gentle curves of the design, the play of light and shadow, and the colors that brighten even the cloudiest morning will lift your spirit before the day begins.
