Big Ambitions

So I found this ad today in a magazine and I could not stop looking at this dress! I love it.  I really want to attempt to make a variation of it for my self.  I like to make dresses but I am not very confident in my abilities.  I know this dress will be a challenge, but I will kick myself if I don't at least try.  So, I am posting this so that I make sure I do it.  Check back in a while to see my results....

I love Houndstooth

I love... Houndstooth print! I get it honestly, my mother loves it too.  Imagine my excitement when I found these awesome tights at TJ MAXX!  That's what I call a Maxxinista moment!  

Staying on Track

Update on my life changes... Well I joined a kick boxing gym!  It's called X3 check it out here!  It is close VERY close to work so I have no excuses.  My husbands cousin, which I have claimed as my very own, joined the gym a while back and has amazing results.  I am making some very realistic goals, if I share them with all of you maybe you will help hold me accountable.  I would like to loose 35 pounds by January.  If I loose 2-3 pounds a week I am golden.  You have suggestions please share them with me!  My first session at the gym I ended up tripping and rolling my ankle with in (LITERALLY) the first 2 min.  This is where my cousin decides she doesn't know me. Well fortunately and unfortunately I am quite a clutz and have rolled my ankles many a times.  I knew to shake it off and get back in the game.  I got home and iced it and put a nice stiff wrap brace on my ankle.  I will check back in with my progress!
