Tonight was another Wonderful Mom’s Night Out

and I have to say that I’ve been saying for a very long time that the women in our generation,

are missing out on these amazing  times with other women that use to be such a big part of the past, 

like when different generations would all get together for quilting bees.  

Our group all looks forward to these nights and it really recharges us all!  

I really struggled today trying to put together an outfit and have a huge pile of things I tried on, but dismissed…

It’s all about this darn menopausal weight gain! 

I ended up with this new lace top from Jane.com, my newest guilty pleasure…

The skirt is one I bought in a lot of skirts from Ebay last year.  

I wanted a pop of color in my purse and felt rather daring with this combo…

I had better lose this weight because, dressing this body is bringing me down..

Dear Readers,  the first two days on my push towards my birthday have gone well. I walked Wednesday night and hurt the back of me knee , yet again.  I may have found the culprit in my new Nike’s that I purchased more for sporty looks , than exercise shoes and it just so happens the last two walks I went on , which both hurt my knee were with those shoes.  

I am excited about trying once this heals to go back to my other shoes

and not have to give up the walking as my form of cardio…

Gratitude

I am grateful for the laughter tonight at my Parent’s Night Out. 

I am grateful that my husband wanted to go walking again tonight, not that I could with me knee…

I am grateful that I enjoyed not bowling today and just watching my sons and niece.  

I am grateful that when I put my knee issue out to a fitness support group, that their responses helped me figure out it could be my shoes.  

I am grateful for comments from my Dear Readers!
