I need to find balance

August 22, 20112 Comments

So I can’t stop eating, seriously I’m never not hungry!!!
After supper last night, a big packet of ghost pops mysteriously disappeared (into my tummy) along with a third of a slab of chocolate (only cos the hubby hid the rest on my order) this after I came from a tea party for my God daughters baptism where I ate a bunch of snacks (can you believe I didn’t take pictures of Zoey! so dof as I’m the same person who takes pics of what I ate)
I seem to be eating all the time…no wonder the online BMI calculator calls me Overweight, I don’t think I’m OVERWEIGHT man, that seems a bit intense, like I need to pay for two seats on a plane.
At most, I’m pleasantly plump (except when I’m on a scale or in a bikini when I’m tear enducingly plump).
Anyone who has read more than two of my blog posts knows that I have been fighting to come to terms with not being a size XS anymore, I know there are way bigger problems in the world and my tight jeans doesn’t even come close to “real problems”.
And even though my arms are a little flabby, they still work and even though my calves are too big to allow me to wear the boots I want, my legs carry me around pretty well, but it’s still hard to look in the mirror and think “so who is this girl standing infront of my reflection.
I’m currently working on being OK with my “adult body” (as my mom calls it) but I don’t think that is an excuse to eat like I have been!
So Ive decided to eat healthier (maybe I have not been getting the right nutrients and that’s why my body craves giant steers burgers with extra cheese) I’m even joining one of those online live healthy communities to keep track of my progress and to keep me from doing the crash diet thing. Wish me luck. <wonder how long this is going to last, I have no will power – been doing the daily yoga thing tho so thats a start:) >
But first things first, breakfast time, I’m starved!!!
but then again whats new

What Im wearing

August 20, 2011Leave a comment

Spent most of the morning running errands so am not exactly dressed to impress (unless you are impressed by jeggings and flowy tops), I like the look though and I’m not too sure if it’ll work for all the house work I still need to do (maybe that’s the excuse I need to just laze around today – My fav Sat afternoon activity – ooh i’m such a party animal)

What I’m wearing:

– Off the shoulder top (Edgars)
– black jeggings (Edgars – My weekend staple)
– my all time fav scarf
– tan belt (gift from friend)
– tan booties (Mr Price)

look at my little feet, hehe

Fashion Friday, well not for me so much

I tore my jeans this morning, well actually they have had a slight tear in it for ages, but this morning they decided to make a break for it and try their luck at being daisy dukes. This would have been embarrassing enough if I wasn’t walking from the train station up these stairs and had this girl stop me and say (in a very snooty voice I must ad).
“Your jeans are torn, don’t wear them again, it’s not like you”
I was like WHAAAAAT.
I then promptly turned to her and told her that seeing me on the train hardly made her an expert in what was “like me”, that I could wear what I want and although today’s outfit mulfunction was an accident I don’t need her outfit approvals anyway.
Actually I just stood there staring at her, with my mouth open and my ass practically on show. (The other convo went on in my head later)

Well that was my morning…

Here is some more half naked people, in the form of girls in bikinis which I want almost as much as I want their bodies.

On the other side of the questions. . .

10 things about me today. . .

August 17, 20112 Comments

1. I really want my hair to look like it did in this picture 🙁 I miss my curls. (pic taken at my friend Carmen’s birthday party last year)
2. I’m starting to feel embarrassed of the number of photos of me being tagged on fb which involve alcohol.
3. I used to party allot it seems.
4. I don’t regret that part of my life, but don’t really miss it either.
5. I’m getting old.
6. I’m having a bad hair day and no amount of hair clips (eight and counting) or chocolate scented hair dough (Robin’s super strength hair product – he didn’t know it was chocolaty when he bought it -ha ha) is gonna hide that.
7. I know that today at work is going to be hectic, yesterday’s power failure saw to that.
8. I’m getting annoyed at all these active dreams I’ve been having, I wake up even more tired than when I went to bed-that sucks.
9. I’m not hungry quite as often anymore 🙂 I can get away with eating every 20min now 🙁
10. Did I mention I miss the big bush of curls I used to have? well I do.

Tuesday’s are Shoesdays: summer drool list

August 16, 20115 Comments

Two points today

Number 1.
I’m having trouble tracking down fashionistas to show off their shoes so I’ll post it as soon as they can pick their favourites (it’s hard to do, I know)

Number 2.
I’m ready for it to be summer now and in honour of the summer that once was and soon will be, here are some flat sandals I’d love to get into soon. (Funny cos usually I’m not a sandal person)
