What I’m wearing and what I’m eating

Hi friends,

I’ve taken to blogging at night, while switching between DVR’ed Real Housewives and the Olympics while drinking some champy.  Not a bad way to spend a Tuesday evening if you ask me!

I’ve also momentarily given up on blogging through a WP editor on Mac (yes I only tried it once really) and am blogging directly through WordPress, which sucks since it has no bells and whistles.  Meh, we’ll all live.

Anyway, I figured I’d chronicle my Monday and Tuesday for you in terms of work clothes, eats, and workouts.  Pictures are at a minimum because I’m too lazy to take them and upload them

Monday:

What I wore:

New Gap white dress pants with Gap red/oatmeal striped sweater.  Red patent peeptoes by Steve Madden.  Silver and gold chain by Alfani (via Macy’s).

What I ate:

• Breakfast: Small Peets non-fat latte with 1 pump vanilla.  1/2 cup old-fashioned oats + 1/3 scoop vanilla protein powder.  Total cals = 330
• Lunch: 1 cup tri-colored cabbage slow/snap pea/carrot mixture on 1 low-carb tortialla with a dash of thai peanut dressing.  Total cal = 250

• Dinner: Morningstart black bean veggie burger on an english muffin with <1 tbsp of ketchup and mustard.  5 or 6 pretzel crisps. Total cals = 300

Tuesday:

What I wore:

New Gap khakis, paired with white cami and muted leopard-print dolman top from Forever 21.  Gold strappy sandals are Jones New York (<– now called evil shoes since these are what I slipped in a couple weeks ago )

Do you ever track all your food?  Any surprises?  I always feel like I’m not eating that much, but then look at the tally at the end of the day and it seems so high!

Favorite Olympic events?  Swimming (of course!), diving, gymnastics are top of my list

On my mind

Hey there!



Another weekend gone by too quickly. And my little bean turned 7 months on Saturday. If that’s not a wake up call on how fast time is flying, I don’t know what is.

 

 


Instead of writing rambling paragraphs, I’ll give you the bulleted version instead:


It seems I successfully blogged on my Mac, though I’m having a hell of a time figuring out all the ins and outs.
No matter how many spin classes I go to, I seem to forget that wearing a thong is not a bright idea.
Mommy groups are so different now that babies are moving — it’s awfully hard to chase your baby with a glass of vino in your hand (I kid. Sort of.)
I ordered some new work-type clothes from Gap last week and am happy to say my old size fits! Wheeeeee!
However, a pair of shorts weren’t doing it for me so I returned them and bought a pair of white shorts and plaid button down…for Bean.
1 pump of vanilla in a latte is actually enough. This reduced sugar undertaking may just work.
Bubbles is a great name for a wine bar.
The Olympics opening ceremony was weird. And boring. The actual Olympics, however, are thrilling!
I’m finding a renewed love for Whole Foods. They have local (well Berkeley) tofu in amazing sounding flavors like jalapeño and garlic black pepper. Must buy some…
I have a really hard time living in the moment, but I don’t rectify this, I will miss relishing the days of my baby boy’s life. Sigh.
Sitting by a pool and reading has got to be one of the most relaxing weekend activities.
You’re never too old or too young for swings

 







And with that, I wish you a Happy Monday!




Tell me something random that’s on your mind — oddly this provides serious entertainment for me

Shoes-Day!

Well friends, I have some potentially horrible news.

Like really terrible.

{Before you start to worry, please note I’m exaggerating}

But this news is really just, well, sad. 

My feet are swelling

And you know what swollen feet mean?  Really uncomfortable shoes-day.  Sigh.  All my beloved shoes are starting to hurt my feet just a wee bit.  [Let’s be real..all my shoes always hurt a little, but this is like end-of-day-walking-around-a-city-for-10-miles-in-4”-heels discomfort).  Yeah.  Bummer.

I think it hit home yesterday when I donned a new pair of shoes to work.

In the outfit is a loose cami from NY&Co along with a gold blazer also from NY&Co, which is paired with a Gap jean pencil skirt (non-maternity and fully buttoned..woohoo for small victories! ).

The shoes are Jones New York purchased from DSW.com at for $69.95 (down from $89, and I had an add’l $10 GC).  I quite like the shoes and their slightly shimmery gold color and lattice-like cut-outs, but sadly, they do pinch my (swollen) feet a bit.  Sigh.

Here they are up close (via DSW and below):

So there you have it:  Tragedy Tuesday Shoes-Day.  Oh whatever will I do if my feet don’t go back to normal size.  Massive blog giveaway for size 7.5 shoes???

What do you do with shoes you love, but don’t quite fit anymore?

Are you a fan of the jean pencil skirt?
