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!

America—and the world—have carried a lot this past year. I feel it too. So I’m stepping into this new year with a steady heart and simple intentions: warmth, comfort, beauty, and the kind of bright color that helps me keep going.
Christmas Sparrow by Billy Collins
our decorated tree, breathing there
among the metallic angels, ceramic apples, stars of yarn,
its eyes open, like mine as I lie in bed tonight
picturing this rare, lucky sparrow
tucked into a holly bush now,
a light snow tumbling through the windless dark.
Lagenlook Caftan Tunic one-of-a-kind Magenta, Scarlett and Navy Blue
A great lagenlook tunic changes the whole mood of a woman’s day. She slips it on and instantly feels more spacious, more graceful, more herself. The fabric moves when she moves, so her body relaxes and her presence turns confident. It’s the kind of piece that makes her walk into a room with ease—artful, feminine, and quietly powerful.
