i didn’t go running last night. i had every intention of doing it, but then i didn’t get home until 9pm. why? shopping :) i left my mom’s office around 6pm, and stopped in H & M to return a skirt, and ended up buying 2 pairs of dress pants, 3 sweaters, and a pair of jeans. i like how things at H & M are usually regularly sized and not vanity sized. for example, in pants and skirts there, i am a size 6, not something ridiculous like a 0-2. in tops, usually a 4 but that depends on the button situation. i’m sure you all know what i’m talking about. anyway, i have to go back there tonight because one of the pants i brought home is a 4, so i must have put back the wrong size. i also like H & M because i can buy jeans from the kids section. and they are only $22. that’s cheap for jeans! they size is for 14-15 year olds, and only works if you have no hips like moi. i am afraid to give birth. my mom had 3 caesarean sections because of this problem. good thing it’s not the olden days or we’d both be dust!
moving on, i also went to globo shoes. i bought the cutest pair of booties but when i brought them home i decided they were too small. i got an 8 and normally am 8.5. so i went back to make the exchange and they were $10 off, on sale. here they are for your viewing pleasure.
and then i went to loblaws and picked up giant cans of pumpkin (love thanksgiving), cottage cheese, strawberries, a coconut cream pie larabar (new!), and some high protein pitas.
i made the mistake of weighing myself this morning and i am way up. what gives? i have been doing everything right except.... drinking enough water! drinking 4 cups of coffee a day doesn’t count as water! today i am going to chug a lug at least 3 litres. that is my lofty goal.
this morning i swam for 30 minutes and i am definitely running tonight. here is today’s menu:
quaker regular oatmeal (2)
½ cup all bran (1)
(in gingerbread spice tea)
½ cup fat free vanilla yogurt (1)
142g strawberries (0)

½ cup 1% cottage cheese (1.5)

you are a busy little bee! love the boots, what colour did you go for?
black of course :o)
Isn't it crazy how much of a difference water makes? I wasn't drinking water the way I should for the past couple days, and I felt like absolute crap and my clothes got tighter. Once U started downing water again things got back to normal.
BTW, I'm going to have to track down this magical peanut butter...god, I hope it's not just a canadian thing -- you guys have the best stuff!
I hear you! I'm a HUGE H&M and Forever 21 fan! (to me they're kind of the same) You have to work a little hard to get the good stuff but it's worth it with the savings! I've been doing lots of shopping lately (and of course posting about it) - fall is making me SO happy!! Good luck drinking more water!! I'm a diet pepsi gal... eek!
I friggin hate vanity sizing! Cute booties :)
you make me want to go shopping at h&m soo bad. Too bad there is no h&m near me anymore. boo.
glad you could get some fun things ;-)
"good thing it’s not the olden days or we’d both be dust!"
Bwahaha
you and me both ;)
PS I am having the hardest freaking time getting back down to the bottom of my range... I just don't know how to snap out of it.
OOH I love the booties!!! Super cute!!!
