I have been losing weight on a consistent basis, mostly by watching what I eat, not eating late into the evening, and getting lots of exercise.
Below some of my favorite meals, including a new Oven Baked Chicken Breast that I absolutely love. I use a convection oven and have found that pounding the poultry before baking as the recipe suggests, ensures the juiciest version of the chicken.
The weight loss has enabled me to start wearing older pieces and I am very
pleased with my efforts to lose the weight. That said, sometimes I want an old
favorite, like apple pie, as was the case on Monday, October 13, 2025.
With the weight loss, I have added new items to my wardrobe. I post about the outfits I wear when taking care of the many issues I need to handle and how I incorporate the new pieces.
On Friday, October 17, 2025, I had several errands to run and I chose a
brown plaid pencil skirt (Walmart find), cashmere polo collar camel sweater,
thin brown belt, and my Saks 5th chocolate pumps.
A new addition to my closet is the inexpensive brown plaid pencil skirt I
purchased from Walmart online (no longer available). I like the pattern on the
skirt and owned a longer version that works great with boots that I
purchased in the mid to late 80s. Both skirts are shown below.
Also shown above, the new blouse I purchased from Francesca's. I Googled in search of a chocolate v-neck tie blouse and they had the best choice. I really like the blouse, however wish I had purchased the medium rather than the large. The blouse works great with black so I have a lot of options.
Below, a short video of both the try on for the new blouse and the outfit I
wore on Friday, October 17, 2025.
