CaboRexia

I am currently on a self imposed CaboRexia plan....What's this you ask? Well my husband and I, along with another couple are headed to Cabo in May of next year....which I am totally pumped about. What I am not pumped about is my current body situation....it's not good people...So I have started on a CaboRexia plan...to work out at least 4 days a week, add running back into my routine, and generally eat like a freakin bird. It's the last part that is difficult for me...I love carbs and candy....and yes, I know that they are the same thing, but that is how much I love them.

So far this week, I have chronicled everything in a back to school assignment book. Which was a total score at Target for a mere $2.45. I ripped the "school schedule," section out and now it just looks like a date book.

Tonight's goal is to go to my Total Body class, that I have skipped for one reason or another the past 3 times. I am fully aware it's not going to get any easier to go back, so I should just bite the bullet.

I am also on the search for the best shoe for me as I cannot seem to locate one that doesn't kill my feet. I am liking the Reebok stability ball one for comfort only, am quite positive it's going to nothing for my butt and legs. More to come on that one.

Actually more to come on this whole Caborexia plan.

Victoria's got a secret

Victoria's Secret is sweet enough from time to time to send me coupons for free knickers. Usually I just score my plain black pair and dash out of the store happy to get something for "free."

But now Victoria has decided to take it another direction...they send me a coupon for a pair of knickers that only goes to size L. Size large, really? That was just a slap in the face Victoria....and I am not pleased.

I'm Back.....

I'm back...I have taken a brief hiatus...but I'm back!

Size 00

Dear Gap,

Size 00 isn't a size, it's a pipe dream...

Thanks,
Leslie

Return of the Macy's

I am returning the donut maker from Macy's...I think the thought of mini donuts and the pictures on the box are much nicer than the actually product produced.

Time to make the Donuts

So...I am totally into protein right now, but on my way home from work, I am stopping by Macy's and picking up a Bella Cucina Mini-Donut maker....it's on sale for $19.99 and I have a $25 reward thing.

I am so super excited. How fun is this going to be when I entertain. My favorite part of this is that Macy's tries to pimp this as a healthily choice because the donuts are baked, not fried. I am pretty sure the health thing will go out the door when I cover those little things in icing and chocolate...he! he!

Here's the link...since I couldn't get the picture to link.

This is my happy face!

My BFFF often times is super thoughtful and be-gifts me books that she is either reading or has read and has found inspiring. Her most recent book gift is The Happiness Project by Gretcen Rubin. She actually gave it to me several months ago, but sometimes I have a hard time reading a book that isn't on my iPod...ha! ha!

So I just found out that I have my HS reunion in nearly 2 months and I have got to get my myself in shape both physically and mentally. So today marks a new day...super hardcore work-outs and major protein, with very little bread. And then finding the best me....and that is where this book comes in. Last night I sat on my front porch reading the book about how the author, Grethen, took a year of her life and tried to become a happier, fuller version of herself. To begin with, she was not unhappy (neither am I), but she wanted to appreciate and live her life fuller (which I should really try myself.)

Ironically I also got an email from one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie, pimping the same book. So I figure if my favorite girlfriend and my favorite store liked it, I am going to LOVE the book. Stay tuned!

Here we go....
