These Boots Are Made For Walking

Darlings, I bought a pair of shoes on Friday. Not just any shoes, mind you. These shoes are possibly the sexiest pair of shoes on the planet. They're like sex for my feet.

And I ROCK them.

I'm wearing them right now, with a cute black pencil skirt and a button down blouse (have to tone down the sexiness at work, of course).

At lunch today, I walked over to Safeway for my weekly shopping trip to stock up on healthy food for the week.

(sidenote #1: this is to ensure that I don't snack on all the delish treats at work and stay on track with Skinnyfest 2009)

(sidenote #2: not only are my shoes HAWT, they're actually comfy enough to walk around downtown without praying for a pair of flats within the first 10 steps)

As I'm getting to the store, an elderly woman (probably 70-80) was coming out. She sees my shoes and says, "Oh my goodness."

Mission ACCOMPLISHED.

Temptation

Last night was my JLSF small group meeting... which involved tasting recipes for the cookbook we're putting out next fall to celebrate our 100th anniversary! Needless to say, the delish treats we made and shared were NOT a part of my daily calorie allotment (skinnyfest 2009, remember?)... Hmmmm.

Guess who was a very good girl and had very small nibbles and not even one full glass of wine? Amazing.

Tonight, I'm working out with the fabulous Katie Mac who has promised to kick my ass with some lunges midway through our run. Yesssssss - bring it!

I have a date with my scale tomorrow morning.

Squat it Out

So I'm on a quest to get skinny/skinnier... Let's call it SkinnyFest 2009, shall we?

I'm meticulously counting calories, and have stepped up my workouts (stepped up = actually started working out again).

I lost 3 pounds last week (a PMS week, to boot!) and am hoping for at least 2 this week. I cheated like crazy over the weekend... Um, 3 hamburgers in 2 days = delish / terrible for SkinnyFest 2009. We'll see what I'm actually able to accomplish post-burger(s).

A girlfriend of mine, who also happens to be a fab running buddy, gave me some tips-n-tricks for firming up my rumpapotamus. (Now, I don't have the most defined tush in the world... my college roomies lovingly referred to me as Flat Ass. You see the need for firming/defining) Her advice? While watching tv, get up and do squats at every commercial break. Not full on scary squats, but the pulsing ones - in sets of 30. Allrighty, bring it on.

My first squat session was last night. During a 3 hour movie. With commercial breaks every 15 minutes. Whoah. My butt is gonna be awesome.
