I set some goals for this month and I am happy to report that I have been making great progress towards them. First please note my 49th birthday will be in 9 days.
Accomplishments this month:
- Completed 30 days abstinence ; no bread, no flour, no sugar. Woo Hoo!
- Progressed through rung #3 . Started incorporating dairy and seeds into my diet. Nuts such as almonds and almond butter continue to be a problem so I will have to eliminate them from my diet again. Learned to enjoy plain Fage brand 2% yogurt.
- Saw two movies: Gravity and Baggage Claim
- Went to early dinner at The Dead Fish restaurant. Enjoyed the Cioppini Fish Stew and fried calamari. Yes this was the first day off from my diet.
- Attended Women's Bible Study weekly.
- Walked daily at work.
- Lost 15 pounds of weight.
- Got 2 teenagers to high school and back and forth to after school activities daily.
- Supported husband through his procedure.
- Visited Mom and Dad for Sunday dinner.
2nd Honeymoon Planning
- Changed hotels for pre and post cruise. Will be staying pre cruise in old san juan and post cruise at a resort.
- Purchased strapless new years eve dress. Actually it is called an illusion strapless as it has the netting and beading around the neckline. I love it.
- Found a strapless bra that fits my boobs and make New Years Eve dress look fantastic.
- Still looking for a pair of 3 inch sparkle heels to take with me on the trip.
- I also purchased another maxi dress which Nordstroms is hemming for me this week and a more casural "fancy" dress to wear on the cruise. It is caribbean blue with a sparkle belt. I was looking at the sparkling wedding dress belts on Etsy so it is funny that I would find a dress with just a bit of beading at the waist. Earlier this year, I had returned a blue jersey knit dress to Nordstroms and so I was happy to find this new dress in the same color. This dress has a v-neck which I think is the most flattering with my bustline.
- Continued making a 2nd Honeymoon board on Pinterest.
- Found and purchased the white crochet beach cover up Becca brand at Nordstroms.
- Ordered 3 new white t-shirts from QVC. One is sparkle, one is a cold shoulder and one has a sequin anchor on it. I think I will send the anchor shirt back.
Beauty:
- Took out cornrow braids after 4 weeks. Needed to deep wash my scalp.
- Haven't decided what my cruise style will be but I am leaning towards a weave. I hate to spend upwards of $400 for hair so I may use the wavy hair that I already have.
- Purchased a set of Philsophy skin care products to improve my skin. I love the Miracle Worker brand products. Some facial sunscreen and body sunscreen spray.
- Got some new Moxie lipgloss from QVC.com They were selling 6 lipglosses for $25.
- Sent a gift package of Philosopy products to my daughter in college for her birthday.
Christmas:
- Purchased a shirt for my dad for Christmas.
- Purchased some stocking stuffers for my kids for Christmas.
- Took car for annual service. Had Service A completed as well as replace transmission fluid and brake fluid. Received estimate from Dent Wizard on removing dents from car. $975 including painting bumper.
Mrs P.A. Moore's Plan for the next two weeks of October:
- Hair appointment for press and curl.
- Dentist appointment
- Took day off from work for my birthday.
- Practice putting on false eyelashes.
- Payoff kids gifts which are on layaway.
