It has been a busy week and on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 relatives from out of town stopped by briefly.
Since I was not leaving the house, I decided on active wear for the outfit of day, however, added a new Jockey Yoga Jacket to the mix.
The Jockey Satin Stitch Yoga Jacket was purchased from Costco, however, it is also available from Amazon.
Below, a short video of the outfit of the day for Wednesday, April 22,
2026.
The black leggings are part of another recent Amazon order. The details are provided below.

I had several errands to run first thing Monday morning. While the temps were in the mid to high 80s most of last week, forecasts predicted cooler weather for Monday, April 20, 2026 so I chose an old Cassidy tweed lined pencil skirt.
Although I was able to get into the size 8 skirt a year ago, I could not button
the waist button, so yesterday morning when I finally achieved this
feat, I was pleased.
I paired the skirt with the bean paste cashmere sweater I found on the Aliexpress site, black suede Aerosoles pumps, and my Jillian Jones sweater jacket.

I recently put new batteries in my Yunmai digital scale so in the near future I will begin weigh ins. For some reason, before now, I only checked how my clothes fit. I am so pleased with my weight loss efforts that I am ready to check other measurements on a regular basis.

I love working out in biking shorts and leggings. I needed to replace a lot of my old shorts and leggings- so recently I ordered a total of ten pairs of leggings and 7 pairs of biking shorts.
The following photos show examples of the new black leggings as I wear them for workouts and as a try on for a casual afternoon outing.
I do not normally wear leggings out, so I am not sure I would really wear them as shown, however, I wanted to test the look.
I continue to work on the last 25lbs of the weight I want to lose. I think I need to lose about 20lbs to reach my goal weight of 125lbs.

I had several errands to run yesterday, April 8, 2026. It was kind of chilly with bright sunny skies.
For my outfit, I chose a sleeveless Liz Claiborne black dress, a short
caramel suede-like lined jacket, and my Nine West Snowfall caramel suede boots.

I have been working out. That said, even though I shoot outfit videos I have not posted the content. My workouts consist of an hour in the morning and half an hour in the evening, this along with my other activities.
On average I get about 15,000 steps and I am losing weight. I started this exercise program in late February and have managed to stay on track.
I tried on some outfits yesterday, April 4, 2026 and happy I see results insofar as weight loss.
Do I weigh in? Not really. My goal weight is about 125lbs and I think I have
about 20 pounds to go, however, for right now, I am only trying on my old
styles to see where I am.
For weight loss comparison, the slacks I have on in the following photos are the same brand, style, and size as the beige slacks I have on in the above photos.
Below, a short video of the styles I tried on Saturday, April 4,
2026.
I wanted to provide more details about other things going on, i.e., updated FICO scores (I am over 800 again), my first interest payment to my new AmEX CD, etc., however, for now I am too tired and will only mention these positive highlights. Nothing negative to report, other than I am a little tired.

After putting off several errands last week (mostly due to inclement weather), I had to take care of several issues, yesterday, Monday, March 9, 2026.
It was 70° and sunny and still I chose black lined wool slacks and a
jacket. I was comfortable even though it was warmer.
Below a short video of the outfit I wore.
I have been busy with business, financial, and technology issues, as well as trying to get a handle on the yard work.
And then there are the 10,000 steps per day...
I am not sure if that is why I was so tired yesterday morning as I was trying to get ready to go out or the fact I was up at 4:00 am working out. I went to bed around 10 the night before.
I rarely take medications, an Advil if I feel I am catching a cold, however nothing else. I have no active medical prescriptions (other than for my glasses and contacts), however, feel- I probably need to supplement my diet with vitamins since I seem to be skipping meals and exercising more than usual.
My glucose numbers are normally between 60 to 70 when I check. I have always burned sugar quickly and in college my doctor recommended I take B12. I am probably a type 1 diabetic, however, my nails have stopped the slight discoloration strips I noticed two years ago, so I am not sure why I was so tired yesterday.
Normally, I feel great when I get enough sleep and exercise. And no, I do not take B12 on a regular basis, so I am not sure why my nails are so clear. Two years ago, I took B12 once a week and my nails cleared up. Today, nothing. Why? I hate the way that medication smells so unless my nails are a problem, I would rather not use it.
After I originally posted this entry, I checked two foods I eat for breakfast on a regular basis. Hard boiled eggs and grapes. Eggs are a good source of B12. Think I found the reason why my nails are clear.
I am HIV negative, however, my blood pressure seems to be a bit high as reported by the fitness Apps I use. My oxygen saturation is around 99% most of the time. Heart rate- 75-81bpm active/64bpm resting. My stats are reported to Google Fit, Google Health, and FitCloudPro at least twice a day.
Why provide this information? Have to leave this response for another time.
