One Part Sass, One Part Sauce

I must admit. I woke up feeling particularly saucy and sassy today. The scale God blessed me with 217. Finally...making my total loss 110 pounds. Here is hoping the next ten pounds back their bags on leave on permanent vacation by January 27th...my one year bandiversary.



My jeans are in that stage right now where fresh out of the dryer they fit pretty good, but an hour into the day I start to develop both penis crotch and baggy butt. You know...penis crotch is when your pants get to big and the material in the crotch area starts to gather and it looks like you are smuggling a miniature schnauzer? So, I decided to wear a skirt. A skirt that I have been holding on to since 2001. It is a khaki pencil skirt, and by the grace of God it fits my hips and my waist. I suffer from hour glass syndrome. My waist is much smaller then my hips....proportionately speaking. So skirts usually are all big and gappy in the waist. I was going to pair this skirt with my new cheetah print flats, but decided to sauce it up with some heels!



We had a holiday luncheon today at work, and someone snapped a picture.


Just as the picture was snapped, someone said "look at you, it was like you were ready for it". My coworker quickly added that "Amy is always ready for a picture". So true.

It really has been a day full of compliments so my head if full and big! When I got back from the luncheon I had an email from the coworkers (Heather and Elwyne) who teach my bootcamp... It read:
Me and Elwyne wanted to let you know ................you look too sexy for work today. U look awesome.

Inflate head more please!

Last night I was hanging up clothes and I looked in the mirror real quick and my face looked thin. I thought it was shadow trickery...but no matter which way I turned...I was pleased. Have mercy.

My parents come in tonight for a month long stay. I know what you are thinking...I am going to eat my moms temptations...BUT...they have rented a condo down on the beach for an entire month. So the oreos will live there!

I am so excited to see them.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hugs and kisses...and for those of you who don't like to be touched by complete strangers...I will just smile and wave!

  12. So Amy,
    Does this mean our jeans are now too big for us? I know exactly what you mean but mine are sagging in the knees too.. they come out of the wash then dryer and fit wonderfully, within an hour they are droopy. Surely that isn't meant to happen?

    I dont blame you for getting a big head about the compliments you receive... for a start they are hard earned and girl, I have to say you are just looking amazing to the fifth degree. Ever time I see a pic I am stunned at how beautiful you look - seriously. You never seem to take a bad photo.

    And I love hugs and kisses so keep them coming. Screw the smile scenario!! lol
    Hugs to you
    and kisses xxxx mwah

  13. You are so cute in that pic, Amy! My friend always makes fun of the faces I make in the mirror when I'm putting on make-up - she says I am flirting with the mirror and you look just like that!

    PS - Try a belt. I'm not being a smart ass, I just never wore them for years and I had the same droopy pants syndrome. When I finally tried a belt, it was miraculous!
