Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Victoria's Secret
My absolute FAVORITE store. There's nothing I love more
than new panties and only that silky pink label will do. I
never bought lingerie from Victoria's Secret until
Snookums bought it for me while we were dating, but now I
won't wear anything else. The quality speaks for itself.
I didn't actually buy any underwear today, though.
Snookums and I went to the mall simple to kill some time
and walk off our Chinese buffet lunch (I didn't do nearly
as bad as it sounds like I did). I couldn't resist peeking
my head in VS just to see what's new and they've got out
all of the holiday stuff. Since I just got incredibly
pampered by Helena, I don't need another stitch of
clothing, but Snookie was good to me and bought me a
Victoria monogrammed mini tote bag (it's not the $1,500
Louis Vuitton rainbow monogrammed handbag I've been pining
over for months, but it'll do) 3 Sweet Talk shimmer lip
glosses in fruit flavors. Strawberry, Blueberry and Cherry
Vanilla (I LOVE them!) and a new keychain. A little black
bear with a pink nose that says SEXY LITTLE BEAR on his
tummy (SO CUTE!)
We stopped in Payless Shoes, too. I wanted to get a pair
of basic white platform tennis shoes, a staple in my
wardrobe for jeans and t-shirts and jogging suits, but I
also found a really comfy pair of low profile tennis shoes
that are a similar knock-off of my brown Kenneth Cole
shoes. They've got the zig-zag elastic strap across the
top just like the KC's do. I LOVE them, too! I guess I
just love shopping period. Nothing makes me happier. I
knew today was going to be a good day.
As for the Chinese buffet I mentioned earlier, I was a
GOOD girl. I had breakfast this morning. Apple and Saigon
Cinnamon oatmeal, Banana Cream Pie yogurt and water (250
calories) and only one trip at the buffet. I filled half
my plate with a salmon fillet, so it wasn't too bad. I did
splurge and had Baskin Robbins ice cream for dessert. A 2
scoop sundae. Fudge Brownie and Chip off the ole'
cheesecake. I figure that was around 600 calories and
lunch was maybe 800, so I didn't exceed what my body needs
per day. I didn't lose any weight today (or maybe I did?)
but I didn't gain any either. We had lunch late, so I'm
skipping dinner tonight. I will load up on some fluids,
though. I'm being more conscious of my fluid intake.
I'm not as obsessive about each and every calorie as I was
before. I was trying to reach a deadline and right now I'm
giving myself a break from the constant scale-watching.
I'm being uberconscious of what and how much I'm eating so
I don't gain, but I'm taking a breather from the strick
dieting. I've still got my goal in sight, though. I WILL
NOT gain a single pound back. I'm going forward, not back.
Basically, I'm gearing myself up for the next round of
weight dropping. When I see my in-laws again, I want to be
150 or less. For some reason, their shock and admiration
of my success was such an encouragement to lose more. I'm
ultimately doing it for myself, but getting their approval
is important to me too.
I must be putting the baby to bed now. She's playing and
rolling on her gym, but I know she'll be getting sleepy
soon. Ciao for now!
