Winter Solstice

Happy first day of Winter! Winter officially started at 9:30 p.m. in California and 12:30 a.m. on the east coast.  Today is the shortest day of the year.

I got on the scale, since it is Thursday and low and behold the scale said 248. That is the lowest I have gotten on this weight loss adventure so anything after this is all new territory. I have been trying to avoid all the chocolate and goodies that have been hanging around and I guess my diligence paid off. Losing at Christmastime is a MAJOR bonus. Best. Gift. Ever.

This afternoon is our company luncheon at Maggiano's and I am wearing the blouse my mom bought for me. Here is a glimpse of what it looks like. I even put eye shadow on this morning which I almost never do but I had time. I channeled my friend Karla who is the eye makeup master and it came out nicely!  Maybe I can get someone to take a full picture but we'll see.


I had an interesting experience with this blouse. First of all, I have never worn satin (except for jammies) so that is a new feeling. I also had never ironed it and it needed it. My mom had a Rowenta steamer/iron that she had never used so I used that. I ironed it and then tried the steaming and it worked really well! Who knew... I so rarely iron anything but there are just certain items that it need it so I definitely will be using it again. Until next time...

  2. That is great news on the weigh in. I have not visited Maggiano's since I started my weight loss but have found Italian places to be difficult for healthy options outside of salads. I dislike eating salads when I am out. Good luck!

  4. The color suits you. It is different wearing stain isn't it. Nice and cool though. Well done on your lowest weight ever.

  5. Good color on you-makes your cheeks look rosey! And I'm loving that necklace! I don't want to say anything about Maggiano's (cause I love them too much and don't want to go on and on about food!). Have a blast!
