done, done and not done

I had three goals for January:
1. Lose 5 pounds - DONE!! This was way harder than what I thought it would be. Lots of organization and time spent planning meals and grocery shopping for the right stuff to have on hand so when it was time to eat, the good stuff was going into the bod. To reward myself I am buying a new bathing suit. A super cool one from the Splish website!
2. Beat my 21 days of not eating out - DONE!! Today is day 28. I have a craving for sushi. But #1 and #2 are related, when I have groceries in the house, and pre-prepare stuff to eat, then it was much easier to grab something for lunch or put something together for suppers. But this whole process has been ALOT of work!!! Have really tried to make it a focus for January...was one week at a time...seriously.
3. Not buy myself any new clothes - NOT DONE!! Oops. This was not a realistic goal...but I thought I would try...could not resist this pair of black leather boots...3 inch heels, pointy toes, the ultimate b!tch boots!! Love them!! Also, purchased a really cute pair of hot pink sandals for summer...hey, never to early to start planning your spring/summer wardrobe!!!

Good for you!

Could always get the fixings, and make sushi at home. I have friends that tell me it's much easier than you would think.

I've never understood women and shoes/boots ect.
