Back on Track

Well, I lost 2 lbs this week getting me to the 50 lb mark! I also bought a new pair of Reeboks, tossing out the old crappy New Balance. Such a difference. Today I did Yoga with the kids and then the treadmill and topped it off with weights. I also should say that I have thrown the Candida diet out the window. I tried I really did, but I wasn't doing good. Part of my success at Weight Watchers has been eating a good breakfast with lots of fiber. It's really hard to get enough fiber on such a limited diet. I'm glad I went back to eating normal, I feel better.  I have been changing some foods, trying to find better alternatives.  I use to eat a lot of Fiberone bars, but recently switched to GNU bars, they are all natural and have more fiber and no high fructose corn syrup.  I also switched to Kashi bars for snack bars.  This morning I had a bowl of shredded wheat with kefir and a banana, so good and so filling.  How is your week going so far?

Summer Shoes I'm Dreaming Of

Oh if I had a million dollars I would spend a big whopping chunk on shoes.  I've been drooling over a lot of cute styles for summer this year.  In the past I've spent the summers in flip flops, but I'm really trying to branch out and honestly so far this year I haven't even glanced at a pair of flip flops.  So here are some of my favorites for summer and I've put them together with some cute outfits to show how I would wear them.  I tried to keep all of the items under $50 dollars.

Look 1: The Flat Sandal
Keeping the little black dress casual and fresh with flat braided sandals, pops of color, a straw bag and a denim jacket.

Sandals by Urban Outfitters
Totes by Nine West

Look 2: The Wedge Sandal
I would keep these towering wedges simple with a maxi dress and earthy jewelry.

Wedges at Piperlime
Necklaces by Forever 21

Look 3: The Sneaker
I love the look of the classic Ked sneaker in red, I would pair it with some ethnic inspired jewelry and punches of turquoise.

Cardigans by Gap
Sunglasses by Old Navy

Look 4: The Colorful Flat
I would pair this mustard flat with navy and gold.

Tees by Talbots
Flats by Kimchi & Blue

Dresses for Spring

Since I have been losing weight I've been needing some new duds.  The problem is I don't want to shell out the money for said duds when I'm only going to get to wear them for a month or so.  I've been shopping thrift stores pretty frequently and have managed to snag a few good items but the other day I realized I could still wear a few of my dresses from last summer if I added a cardigan or belted them.  So I decided I'm going to try and buy more dresses, I think they'll get me farther on my weight loss and hopefully help out with my goals to be a bit more stylish.  So these are some of my very thrifty favorites for curvy girls from around the web.

I love this maxi dress at Forever 21.  Can you believe it's only 22.80?

I love the color of this jersey dress at Old Navy.  36.94

I love the colors and pattern on this cute dress from Ruche.  38.99

I always need another black dress and I love that this one isn't sleeveless.  Available at Kohls for 22.49.

I really love the colors in this dress.  I don't think I've ever worn a white dress before. Forever 21 27.80

If I had a little more money I would buy every dress at eShakti and this one is my favorite. 59.95
