Week Sept 29 Caloric Intake Log

There's this website that I just recently found (HERE!) that tells you how many calories you should eat, depending on your activity level. I followed in really for the first time this past week & lost 4 lbs. I have used Lose It for my calorie log, but because you have to keep track of what you eat (not just the calories) it kinda "weigh" me down a bit. At the end of the day, I just need a number, ya know? So I am starting to keep track of it. I will edit this blog on a daily basis til the end of the week (Oct 5) & then start a new one!!!

Caloric Intake for this week 1574 - 2059 - working out 1-3 times a week

Thrifted Plus Size Fashion - Part 2

Sorry for slacking! I do have to mention that I love my new job so much that I volunteer to do overtime! However, overtime the last 2 weeks have gotten to me, which has lead to my lack of updates. I know, I am so sorry! My weight loss journey has been struggling a bit as I feel the need to work 50 hrs a week! At first it was because I love my job (I do!), but Casey needed an almost rush, unexpected dental surgery (which is never cheap!)

However, below are a few of my newest put together's. I am having mixed feelings about the red argyle sweater vest. You'll see! Enjoy!!! Everything is thrifted unless stated other wise!!!

Same outfit, one with the belt & one without the belt! Sweater vest is from Haggar for $6!

Sorry for the selfies! Casey was away that week on a business trip! lol My first cowl top! I was apprehensive about it, but I LOVE it!

Top is a gift from my mother in law (but was also thrifted!)

This was actually one of my first horizontal stripes top & I LOVE it! I pair it with my black turtle neck.

Well, sadly the blazer isn't thrifted ($25) and neither is the camo green top. However, my mother in law had bought a couple of tops for me & they were too small so I exchanged them & bought my new favorite army green top with the pockets!

Again, blazer isn't thrifted & the grey top is a Haggar top I paid $6 for (I work at Haggar on a seasonal basis, so I still have my employee discount! lol)

Going army!!!!

I am starting to realize how much I LOVE my black blazer! lol. I admit, these slacks are now a tad big on me! lol

The necklace was a gift from my aunt. The sparkly top is also thrifted!

Dressing up a Haggar tshirt (LOVE the fabric) It did only cost me $3 with my discount! lol

This is the outfit that I am unsure of. I LOVE the argyle, some thought it needed a belt, others thought it was just too big I know I should have tried on a medium. The vest is from Haggar ($6). Sucks bc I thought 2 more that I may exchange for a medium.

Jewelry was a gift from my Secret Santa a few years ago

Another thrifted goodie!!!! LOVE!

The top is my newest thrifted item!

Yes, we went roller skating! I am still super rusty, but so grateful for this carpet!!! lol. 

Thank you for reading! I just wanted to prove that it is possible to find good, plus size thrifty items & make them work!!! Hope I've accomplished it & now for more weight loss!!!! lol

xo,

Nancy
