Thank you ;) I am going into the office really early tomorrow morning - should be really easy to get ready without dealing with my mass of hair.. I was worried about going short because it didn't look as good when my face was more filled out. I love it though.

Love your hair, beautiful. That sweater wasn’t too long, it was cute. Sending prayers for your mom 💕
@snowbetterlifestyle13 күн бұрын
Thank you Sheril! Yeah the sweater felt big but it's supposed to be comfy - maybe with a pair of pants that aren't dragging so much it might feel like a better fit (I know you know about being short) :D I appreciate your patience with me learning and discovering my style as I can actually wear the clothes in store - spent much of my adulthood wearing 5x+ so still mind boggling I can actually pull stuff off the store and put them on! Thank you for the prayers hon. I hope all is well with you and yours. 💕

You’re hair is adorable! I recently cut mine to the same length and I love it. My hair stylist tells me she’s cut that Len the more then any other recently, so I guess we’re in vogue. 😂 I’m 62 and also 5.2 inches. Since I lost weight, I have to buy new clothes. I want to wear items that are kind of trending, but as an older woman, I don’t want to look ridiculous. Of course because being on the short side it’s hard to find pants that don’t drag on the floor. Alterations can be quite expensive too. 🫤 I’m wondering if you have siblings to help you with your mom. I’ll say a prayer for her to get better and one for you during this stressful time.

@@carolmills1174 ahh I truly have no issue with being short but it is definitely a challenge in the pants dept - it's why I tend to love dresses. Agree on the not wanting to look ridiculous at 60+ Congrats on the weight loss! My mom has lived with me for much of my adult life off and on - she helped me raise my babies - she lived with me from March 2020 to December of 2023 - I was full caretaker - I finally asked for help because it was getting to be too much - I needed a break. She was falling a lot more often - my sister came and picked her up and gave me that break but while at my sisters house my mom fell and broke her hip and wound up in a nursing home - she has a lot of health issues and of late hasn't been eating and is sleeping a lot - (she turned 80 in May) My dad passed at 60 years old and it's one of the reasons I am so obsessed with turning 60 heh.. I wasn't sure I'd make it past 60 myself because I am so much like him (more like him than my mom) My mom is on my mind a lot these days and I was sole caretaker on my own for quite awhile. Thank you for your kind prayers. YES I love this length! I forgot how much I enjoy the ease of a shorter cut. Have a great week Carol :)

I actually wound up keeping the jeans, the red/burgundy shirt, the royal blue blazer and the black shirt! My stylist did try her darndest to reduce the cost and I appreciated the clearance price on the jeans.

I have been tracking my calories, protein and fiber every single day for the past 149 days and I am going to continue to do so indefinitely because it keeps me steady on my plan.

You don’t need to stand in the sun and heat while waiting for your ride share. Both Lyft and Uber allow you to track your driver within the app while you wait. Lyft will even ping your phone at different intervals to give you a heads up as the driver gets closer to you. Check your settings to enable next time. 😉. Congratulations on your huge weight loss. 🎉 The shirt you’re wearing in the video looks super cute and flattering.

Yes, please increase your caloric intake. Your body might be going into “starvation mode“. Maybe, adding some healthy fats, such as avocado, and or nuts, will help if your suppression is too high to accommodate more food. Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Thank you for watching and commenting :) The clothes were pretty pricey from Wantable so I may look for something similar at Old Navy or Walmart :) I did like the red jacket, tan shirt (it was so soft) - love the idea of a mauve or black top with the skirt. The white shirt from old navy (that was way too small is going back) - my only concern with the skirt (though stunning) was it makes me look so round :D but maybe a different shirt tucked in with a belt and jacket would be a good way to make me look less round - I do have a waist even with the large belly and it's hidden with my usual choices. I appreciate your input. Hoping to do another haul in October and I'll consider what I learned here.
