Once more from the top

Well, after a month of planning to start back up the diet and exercise, I have arrived at a new month.   Yesterday I walked two miles.  Hey, it's a start.  Weigh in this morning was 220.1.  I'm hoping the motivation stays with me for awhile.  A group of friends here in the stairwell are hosting a "Party Hardy in the 80's" party on November 18.  I'd like to see some weight loss between now and then. It's going to take a lot of work, but I think I'm ready to do some.

I'm already trying to plan out my outfit for that night.  It's been a long time since I dressed for the 80's and I've been trying to get some ideas off the internet.. not too much luck there.

My basic plan is a black pin-stripe skirt with black tights, a tank top, covered by a "flash dance" style sweatshirt( in turquoise if I can find it), fingerless gloves and a ton of plastic bracelets.  One of girls is going to tease my bangs up into the classic "big hair" look.  I think the only thing I need to finish off my look is some face paint.

Don't forget the LEG WARMERS!!!  Ah, what fond memories I have of leg warmers.....  I think they should make a comeback!!!  Just kidding of course but great job on walking 2 miles yesterday.  That is a wonderful start.  I'm in about the same place....just starting over again for what seems like the billionth time.  But hang in there, we all have the strength to do it!!  If you need any encouragement, here's my blog (I'm new at this, first day, first blog, I'm a blog virgin)   http://spaces.msn.com/members/journeygirl33/       Have a great day!!!!
