This & That

Hey 2016. Does anyone else still feel weird writing that? I do! Where on Earth did 2015 go? I am still trying to grasp that. Plus, this school year is FLYING BY (and yet dragging on in some aspects) compared to last year.

I still have to take down all the Christmas decorations. Anyone with me on that? No? No one else still has their tree up? #itsarealtreethatineedtogetridof #noonehelps #allme . That is the plan this weekend since I have the weekend off from work. I LOVE decorating for Christmas but putting it all away is so tedious and time consuming.

I got a Fit Bit for Christmas and it has been really interesting to see how many steps I do a day, how many calories I burn. I also love that you can track your sleep. The first time I wore it, it said I was restless 19 times in one night! Holy cow! I wanted it as part of my mission in order to lose weight/tone up. It is my goal for 2016. I know a lot of people say that every year (I am guilty of it) but I really need to. Why? BECAUSE PANTS SHOPPING FOR SCHOOL IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE! I probably gained in the waist which makes pants difficult. It actually makes me feel like I am suffocating at times because they are so tight. I have tried multiple stores...Target, Old Navy, Loft, Ann Taylor, Gap, Banana Republic, NY&CO, Kohls, Dress Barn.

So I am reaching out....where do you all buy your dress pants?!

Also in my quest for new dress pants comes my quest for workout clothes. I *need* to join the gym and I keep saying I am going to do it. I think Friday I am just going to bring gym clothes to school and change into them and then drive straight to the gym to join on my way home from school. Therefore I can't have an excuse. BUT WHY ARE ALL GYM PANTS SKIN TIGHT? I would say I am "blessed" in the big butt department so I don't want pants that are sticking to my butt as I am attempting to run on the treadmill. I just got a 30% off to Kohls coupon so maybe I can find something from there. I at least want 1 to 2 pairs and then I will get some shorts for the spring/summer. 

Also, who is in it for the Power Ball? We are pooling money together at work to buy tickets. Everyone is joking that if they win they are retiring early! Haha! I would be happy if I won anything. I also saw this on Facebook and had myself a good laugh:

  1. My tree is still up! I want to be able to take it down all at once and I haven't had time...I don't want the boxes sitting around half full of Christmas stuff for weeks.
    I actually just stopped buy dress pants. I have a pair of black trouser jeans from The Gap (that don't look like jeans) and a pair of gray dress pants from The Gap that have a ripped hem so they haven't been worn for months. Other than that, I'm in dresses/skirts/leggings. I did get some cords from Kut From the Kloth (?), which were from Stitchfix and they're great for school.

    1. Do you get most of your leggings from the Gap? I am really starting to convert over to them just because I wanna be comfortable! I just need to lose this "stomach" aka gut and then I wont feel so sensitive/uncomfortable anymore!

  3. I swear by Target but it has been quite sometime that I haven't gone trouser shopping (because I had binged 5 years ago). I get the ankle pants now which are "in" and so comfortable. You see, the reason why I hate trouser is because my waist is small for my height and my hips are big so petite looks as if I have short legs and regular sized trousers drag behind me (and I am too lazy to hem them). :P
