Shopping with Sandy: Kids Clothes

I have to start this with a comment about how freaking lucky kids are. Why? Because I want to wear half the shirts they have in the shops. Kids can get away with wearing tutu's over leggings, without being labeled.  Its not fair. I want to wear a tutu over leggings, with a sweater.

~pouts~

Anywho. Our first stop was Gymboree.

Next...Well, actually next we ran to get my hair cut, stopped by Sandy's and had Pitas for lunch... Errands and food.

But then, we went to The Children's Place.

Gotta say, Justice was the best. Soooo many clothes I wanted to wear.

I waaant that Purple Monkey shirt. S'not fair.

Next was Crazy 8.  They have some pretty freaking cute things. No lie.

Our last stop was GAP Kids,were you can get cute, but more practical.

Next week, we'll be showing off Hipster clothes.  Since its a kinda broad subject, we figure it deserves its own week.  Catch ya then!!

Hmmm...

About a month ago, I felt a desire to lose weight. Again.

But this time was different, or has been, something. Anywho, I'm actually doing it. I checked out a book by Leslie Sansone and called 'Walk Away The Pounds'. Its a slow build up of walking, which can be done in the house.

So I started walking in the morning and before bed. It was small, 30 min mile. Then 25. Then 18. Then two miles. Then three.

Well, I haven't reached three just yet. But I'm close. And I've started watching what I eat more. It isn't easy, but I'm trying. More protein, less bad fat and carbs. Still not there yet, but I'm closer.

Also going to add in a few other elements to my work out. Like doing what I can from a Nike video set three times a week. Each is different.

On Monday, I decided I wanted to take a walk to a local cafe... Its a little over a mile and a half away. So, I did. Sat for an hour or so and then walked back.  Tuesday I said 'I wanna do it again.' And was up, ready to walk, at 7am. Which is very weird, if you know me.

That led to 2 discoveries.

1, it is COLD at 7am.
2, I need to wash my walking pants more often, or buy workout leggings to wear under them, so I don't chafe.

By Wednesday, I was all owy and yesterday I didn't do as much walking as I wanted too.

But I still did it. :D

Today, I'm mall walking with Sandy and then getting a hair cut.

My main struggle isn't with the walking, its with the eating. I need to change and I'm struggling to do that. I see my doctor on Monday for my 3 month 'how are you doing' appt, and I'll try and remember to bring it up with her.

Shopping with Sandy: Maternity & Soccer Mom

This week we're showing off Kids/Maternity & Soccer Mom fashions. :D

Sandy wasn't up for walking yesterday, so I did the Maternity & Soccer Mom shops myself. Turns out, there's only two stores at the Spokane Valley Mall for those, giving me less time in the mall.

First up is Motherhood Maternity

Next up was Christopher & Banks

Saturday or Sunday I should have the Kids clothing up. There are several shops in a row for those, so expect LOTS of photos.  :D

Shopping with Sandy: Preppy

Today, after our 1+ mile walk in the mall, we hit up a few stores to showcase Preppy looks.

First up is the workout clothes of the Prep Chicks… PINK!

Next we have the center of Prep, Gap...

Hollister was a blast, despite the darker insides.  Sandy got a new shirt [photo to be posted on Instagram on Tuesday.]

American Eagle Outfitters was a blast. Lots of kick ass clothes.

Last on our list, we stopped by Aeropostale.  There, I grabbed two new shirts. [Look for them on Instagram.]

It was interesting to realize that our Supernatural boys, Dean and Sam, wear a lot of clothes that you find while shopping for Preppy styles, if you grunge it up a bit.
