Floppy hats and all that...

Summer is almost over!  I can hardly believe it!  Here's to wearing floppy hats and enjoying the summer!

I haven't done an outfit in way too long!  It's hard spending money on clothes when you don't have much and you are trying to save!  So I hope I can inspire you by sharing some of the cheapest outfits!!! It is rare that I spend much money on a piece of clothing.  

Thrift stores are my favorite! Most things are absolutely ugly or tattered, but once in a while you can come across something that is awesome! 

Stores like Ross, TJ Maxx, and Burlington are also awesome for finding great deals!

Turn it into an evening outfit by adding some jewelry, throw the hair up in a side bun, make the lips a little more pink, and switch to some simple heels.

Finding Myself in "The Fix"

As you may know, I have just completed the BEACHBODY 21 Day Fix.  In an effort to be a little healthier, my sister in law and I decided to start off by doing "The Fix."  I am so glad I did it with her because I don't think I would have done it on my own.

As a whole I am pretty happy with the fix.  The workouts were my favorite part.  I didn't know how sweaty and tired I  could get just by working out in my living room!  The nutrition plan was not my favorite part.  I have never eaten quite so much meat, eggs, and vegetables.  I will admit that I needed to add on extra food on days when I was just too hungry!  (Still sticking to items in the nutrition plan).

I kept seeing pictures and results on instagram or pinterest of people who lost X amount of weight or had incredible before and after photos.  The first week of the fix I lost about 5 pounds which I thought was pretty incredible.  But by the end, I had pretty much gained it back.  So, no miraculous results for me.  However, I found that I had more energy during the day and I was definitely getting stronger from the work outs.

So, what did I gain from doing the fix?

I was never meant to be-and will never be a size 0, and that is JUST FINE WITH ME! But, I do have a better sense of how much I should be eating and what foods I should be eating more of and less of.  That is something that I learned and will try to be better about, for sure! Also, I now have awesome 30 minute home work outs which I hope to keep doing!

You can call it a failure, a success, or whatever you want.  As for me, I'm just perfectly content!
