I've been working on my packing list and my travel attire. Although I don't really like traveling in athletic shoes, they are really bulky and won't be available to me on the trip if I don't wear them. So, there is a distinct possibility that I will not have my most comfortable shoes along for this trip...I don't know yet. The real problem is the fact that you have to take your shoes off at the airport. Rats! I hate doing that!! I have decided that I want to wear mostly skirts on this trip (except when flying...that is definitely pants activity). I think it will be more acceptable at headquarters. Here in Texas, I can wear whatever I want to the office as long as I'm covered and have on undergarments. Not so at headquarters. No sneakers for sure, says my boss. So, I'm trying to make myself fit in well. That's really all I want; to blend in and just be that sweet lady from Texas that everyone wants to work with! (When I dream, I dream BIG! **smile**).
By the way, I had NO idea that JC Penney had so many nice things! I was a little overwhelmed by the selection and the prices were terrific. There were a few things that just looked cheap and nasty, but for the most part, I was happy with what I saw. The problem is, I HATE SHOPPING! I even had my sister on the phone with me the WHOLE time, just to keep me from running from the store with nothing to show for my effort. Thank HEAVEN ABOVE for Bluetooth headsets that let you talk without having to hold the dang phone to your ear the whole time! Isn't she sweet to stay on the phone with me and talk me down off the celling when I get all stressed out? She is a big time shopper, people! If anyone can find what you're looking for in a store, It's Gena Ann! I'd hire her in a heartbeat to do ALL my shopping if she were just here to do it for me!! I'd gladly pay her big bucks just so I'd never have to see the inside of another store, but then I'd miss all that time with her. She loves to shop and I just LOVE Gena Ann!! So, shopping is where we go. I'm getting better! I actually bought a cute top to wear under the sweater and with the black pencil skirt I picked up at Walmart (who knew!?!) and a beautiful scarf to keep me warm. Had I not had Gena on the phone we may not have even had the sweater and I REALLY needed that. Thanks, sweetie Gena!!
I haven't been such a good girl today in the eating department. I ate bread today, which is really not good for me and I had a small portion of potato chips. My husband brought home a huge (Sam's Club size) bag of Lay's Cheesy Garlic Bread potato chips. OH...MY...WORD!?! Are you kidding me? I couldn't help myself. And you know what they say about Lay's potato chips? "You can't eat just one!" Well, they are right...I couldn't and I didn't, but I did keep it to the equivalent of a half portion. They were good. I don't know why I'm so hungry, but for my Saturday and Sunday meals, I am going to have MyFitFood meals w/out bread! I cannot eat bread anymore. Bread ADORES my waist and just makes me swell up like a cantaloupe! No, no, NO!! I will not have this. I think I may have lost a little ground over the last couple of days. Although it will be hard eating in restaurants over the next couple of weeks, it does pose one advantage; I won't have food sitting in a kitchen with easy access all the time.
No pictures for you today, but I would like to share another exercise video. YouTube has great options to keep your exercise program interesting. I love YouTube for lots of reason and make my own videos to post over there! Anyway, here is the exercise video I'll be doing from my hotel room each day while on the road. I hope you enjoy it!
