Sometimes Stressed, But Always Blessed

Fort Worth Christmas and More!

Today we attempted to go to the parade of lights in downtown Fort Worth., sadly we left way too late and we could not even drive to get there. So, small detour and we decided to go to West 7th, went to visit Climate, and take some pictures with the Christmas lights.

Guys, we got a bow on today!! Her whole outfit is from Gap besides her chambray shirt which is from Target, I know, you're shocked. Her bow is Sweet Sippi on Facebook, and these are absolute perfection!
My outfit, I know it is definitely not as cute, but my cardigan is Matilda Jane's Cool Fountains Sweater, a black long sleeve tee from Gap, Banana Republic jeans, and X-Appeal black booties! Super comfy and perfect for our cool days we have been having.

I am so glad for my blogging recently, I made a discovery, I have not been taking near as many pictures as I should have been. I make sure we have pictures so we can can make the blog better, and I love that one day Marli can look back and see everything we did together and all the pictures we took!

I am pretty excited, about a month and a half ago I decided I was done with feeling miserable. I decided it was a time to change, I needed to change my lifestyle. I have lost about 20 pounds in this short amount of time!! 

I am down to a size 12 right now and I am beyond excited, I was a 16 and a XXL in all my shirts. I am now a 12 and get to wear L shirts! This is only the beginning though ladies and gentlemen, y'all just wait!

TARGET! Our goal of matching pajamas ended up really successful and they are adorable! Super Targets are my lifeline. 

I decided to invest in a pair of jeans and I am terrified to try them on. I have a 33 inch inseam and it is hard to find longs in jeans. Why was I blessed with long legs? The world may never know. My legs are longer than my own father's, Lord only knows where I got it from. 

STORY TIME!
So, sitting in the Target parking lot I am feeding Marli in the car. As many of you know I exclusively breastfeed her. My mom comes to take her for me and a truck pulls into the spot next to us. I have yet to put my boob up and my mom moves one way and the guy opens the door. Awkward eye contact continues as I pull my shirt down. So, I flashed a guy at Target. I also saw him in the store, more eye contact happened. I mean at least he was cute right?
Here's a progress selfie from the Target bathroom. I know, random, but when you feel beautiful show it off!!

And yes, again I know you are shocked that Starbucks happened today too. A little treat for my weight loss, even if my pants are tight tomorrow from it. A brownie peppermint cake pop and my peppermint mocha latte with coconut milk!😍

For dinner it was a Chipotle bowl and a great end to another great day! As always the favorite way to end my day is to blog and tell everyone about it!
