Feeling Good

 What I wore Monday as it was a holiday and took the kids to swim than a very long playdate at the rec center park where girls can play in the playground and roller blade and razor and the boys can play basketball and football...

Inspiration was from the H&M's Recent Catalog:

Cardigan, Shirt, Tank - H&M

Pants - Lulu Lemon

Sneakers - Superga

DIET UPDATE:
As I indicated last post started doing this 30 Day Challenge by Danette May last week. I am on day 9 today but was on day 7 when I wore this outfit.
I feel amazing.  My stomach totally flattened out (although you can't really tell in this outfit but I felt it trust me). The clothes are not cutting me around the waist and I am not dying to take off everything when I get home.
Most of all I reduced my caffaine intake by 80% which is allowing me to sleep depper and easier.
The workouts are very quick and short but challenging enough so it is all working out so far. Although it is a lot of grocery shopping and a lot of prep and cooking.
And I have to make additional meals for the kids and family so it is a lot of work for sure.

Going Moto

This sporty and a 'bit out there' outfit was inspired by a look in Victoria's Secret Fall 2013 catalog:

Vest, Top - Forever 21

Pants - beach boutique

Sneakers - 

Necklace - Vintage

WEDNESDAY:
Ah, I am back to normal… My stomach is still a little uneasy but I feel like myself again.
Went to boot camp in the morning. It was brutal after taking off a week and a half. Plus I am doing this 1 day juice/tea cleanse from Vitality Tab. I got it at half price at groupon. The tastes were interesting. Don't think I will do this tea version again but might try the juice one or go back doing suja…
It is weird, I know but I was talking to my (7 yr old) son about it. He is such an old soul. It was like talking to a friend. He read with me the description of each juice and what it does. He, like me, is all about new tastes and experiences so he wants to taste them all. Even tasted the super spicy morning one.
It actually is not as hard because I was sick all day Monday and barely felt normal Tuesday eating very little so I think my stomach is already shrunk. Hoping to shed the extra 5 lbs I have seemed to accumulated before swim suit season arrives and in San Diego that is like in a month.

The feeling after the boot camp was marvelous. Forget how oh so good you feel after a hard core workout. Love it. Going again tomorrow...

We don't care who sees

FRIDAY NIGHT:
Went out with the girls for happy hour and dinner. I pretty much just joined their already made plans last minute.
I just love having single girlfriends cause it is such an escape from my life for couple of hours.

Wearing sweats in style

 I just adored how this sweat pant outfit came together today….

The inspiration was from Victoria's Secret December 2013 catalog I think:

 I had been saving this inspiration for a day I have not much going on so I want to be comfy but still yet in a what I call 'blog worthy' outfit… I think what makes tit chic is the beret and the booties. I decided to go with the deep red booties for a pop color...

Cardigan, Sweats, Beret - Forever 21

Tee - Victoria's Secret

Booties - Shoedazzle

THURSDAY:
Today was a day of catching up again. After my daughter's ballet class in the morning we went to the indoor play area so I can clean up my emails, follow up on stuff I have neglected and book my award travel flight to Boston during spring break. Booking award travel sucks. And of course the 2 days I took to decide the rates went up like crazy but at least I got better flight times.
Picked up my son from school and we went to the library do exchange our books and finish homework. Then to the rec center so kids can play and my son's tennis class that followed that.
They were very very dirty at the end so jumped in the bath as soon as we got home while I cooked dinner. After our usual 30 minute of reading they were ready for bed.

You never can tell

 Yesterday's casual but turned out to be very chic looking  outfit was inspired by Victoria's Secret Catalog look:

 I wanted an outfit that would be comfortable majority of the day when I was home but then chic when I went out. And this worked out great. Funny how adding a cool jacket, hat and booties can make a sweat pant and tee look so cool….

Jacket - Thrifted

Tee - Kika Paprika

Sweat Pants - Forever 21

Hat - Asos

Calf Hair Booties - Steve Madden

SUNDAY:
The kids were at my mom's so we had a totally relaxing morning after sleeping in as much as I could which was like 8 AM. We even got to finish some of the shows we were behind then my hubby left to watch the Chargers game with my dad and I had the whole house to do laundry and watch TV while working on my annual album on snapfish. It is taking me forever cause I waited until end of December to start and each month is about 10-12 pages. I am only up to July by now….

The kids had a blast at my mom and step dad's though. My daughter had asked for a zipline for christmas for their back yard and they installed it for them…
