Weekend Wear and Weight Loss Check-In

Just one outfit to show from the weekend. Saturday was lounging at home, and no one needs to see that. :) But I thought Sunday's was pretty cute.

I think the belt added that one little punch that brought it all together.

In weight-loss news, I am down another pound this week, which brings it to 8.8 total. Unfortunately I went wildly, WILDLY off-plan yesterday so my loss wasn't nearly as good as it could have been, and now I am going to have to go through the misery of getting back into ketosis. I knew what I was doing, and I did it anyway; I have only myself to blame. But it's back on track today, and I'll be doing some thinking about why I randomly selected Sunday to be the day I fell apart, especially after resisting multiple temptations the whole rest of the week.

Onward!

I've also decided to skip this season's Spring Capsule Wardrobe Challenge. I have to accept that between the new job, the diet, and getting my exercise back on track for my 5K in two weeks, I have enough challenges in my life right now. I just want to grab whatever the mood/day dictates I want to wear and not restrict my choices any further. But I will be following on and enjoying my fellow bloggers who are participating in it!

  3. You're so right that the belt pulls it all together. Great job on the loss. My losses are slower but any loss is the right direction to go.

  4. The belt was the "bow" on the package. Nice look!

    Also I commend you on knowing your limits. Hope the new month finds you focused and fulfilled.

  5. This outfit is just the epitome of weekend stylish - I love it. Great job on the continued weight loss - any amount down is always a good motivator. I'm always impressed on how you can put an off-track day in its place and move forward - I find it very inspiring!

  9. That blouse is awesome! Actually, I think I walked past it at Target today - it looks a bit more chocolatey/less dark brown in person, but still cute.

  10. Hi, new girl here. I love your style! Ann Taylor Loft is my favorite store. I love picking up new necklaces and bracelets to update pieces I already own too. I like how you added that pop of color with the belt.
