So I stimulated the local economy today with my sister lol

Ok, so we went to our local Agnes and Dora rep's house and bought clothes we probably didn't need but bought them anyway lol.
Ok, I REALLY didn't need them.  At least my sister is a teacher and dresses nice to go to work.  I'm a nurse and wear scrubs everyday I go to work.  I do enjoy dressing nice when hubby and I go on our little trips to Des Moines.  And I'd like to start going to other places like hitting Kansas City up once in a while for a change of pace.

I started ordering these pants. No these are not my legs:

 Then when we got these, I picked up this dress:

 And this shirt.

And another one, but if you want to see it you can check out my Instagram page.

Still trying to lose weight only it doesn't want to be lost.  All I want to eat is ice cream cause its FREAKING HOT AS SHIT here.  OMG,  I'm over this heat.  I get puffy when it gets hot outside.  My rings don't fit right. My ankles are a little more swollen.  And I drink plenty of water.  Like a gallon a day.  Still puffy. UGH.

They are saying we'll get a mini break from the heat over the weekend and for a few days after.  Highs in the 80s, which I can handle.  96 degrees with heat indexes over 108 is just to hot.  And that's where we were today.

Is it early fall yet?

Tired of summer

Never thought I'd say that.   But I am.  I'm tired of summer.

This summer has been hot, for a much longer period of time that usual.  We had 90s in May.  In MAY.  Ok, once in a while we'll have a day maybe two, where it will hit 90, but that's all.  This year, it was a whole bunch of days.  Then more in June, then more so far in July.   I'm over it.  I like 80s.  Warm enough to wear shorts, but not so hot you think you're gonna melt.  Cause here in Iowa we often have high humidity.  All the corn we grow pumps out humidity like crazy.  So it will be 95 with a heat index over 105.  UGH.  So you just walk around outside damp cause the sweat doesn't evaporate.  It just stays on there.  UGH!

I'm ready for leggings, boots, etc.  I'm just tired of being hot, and tired of walking around half wet outside. 

I'm also tired of being fat.  I just can't seem to get it together enough to get this weight off.  I've lost 20lbs but sadly its been the same 5lbs over and over again.   This is so depressing.  I mean, I just can't seem to get my shit together, and get this weight off.   I'll do great for a couple days, then fair for another day or two, then it all falls apart.  I'll skip a couple workouts, I'll eat a bunch of crap.  And the weight stays the same. 

I don't know what it is about my level of dedication, but it is kind of sucky right now.  I mean I want to get into better shape, I want to get this belly fat off. But apparently I don't based on my actions.  There is something stopping me from obtaining my goals. 

So I did something.  I ordered this book:

I hope I get some tips out of this that will help me out cause I sure need it.
