Shopping Day

Dang.

StitchFix was an utter fail.  I asked for dresses and got all casual shirts - really?!?  So today has become the dreaded SHOPPING DAY.  I'm not a fan of shopping when I need something.  I need to figure out where to head ... mall, shopping plazas, etc.  I  might make the switch from dress to jeans and a blouse.  Maybe - so confusing.  Shopping for clothes in a store is NOT my superpower.

Speaking of jeans, I tried on THE jeans last night because why not.  I got them up, buttoned and gun-to-my-head could wear them in public with a long shirt.  But, probably not a good idea.  The muffin top was the real-deal and I might be afraid of splitting them if I bent over LOL.  Progress though.  Surprisingly since the last 2 weeks happened.  I know I've been off-the-wagon, but it wasn't a total wash.  Healthy foods (mostly), too much food though, add some alcohol, repeat that too many days ... but still my body responds.

Yesterday was a total healthy day - without any effort - yes, I said that and said it in BOLD.  You read correctly. The kind of day I wish for every single day (if only).  Was it my new MANTRA?  That would be amazing.  Probably a little -- the honeymoon phase of my new MANTRA.  AND ... I went to Total Wines to stock up.  Kid in a candy store.  Got some new interesting wines in fun bottles.  Nothing triggered.  I thought it will be fun when I get to try some of it.  Well done, ME.  This is the kind of day worth repeating.

Speaking of my MANTRA, I tweaked it a little more yesterday.  I will share it, but it feels oddly super personal.  I'm embarrassed to share it even thought I share most everything here.  It's still in the tweaking phase so I'm buying myself a little more time.

Project Healthy Body is winding up for the start.  I'm liking it more and more.  Thank goodness - it wasn't cheap.  One of the early projects is to name your Negative Roommate who lives in your head and says crappy stuff about you all the time.  I had a few name choices I was trying out - I can't remember the entire list though. "Mallory" won.  She has been named.

I also named the Super ME.  I don't think that's part of the project, but it's a Beyonce thing - Sasha Fierce.  When I run a hill and start to tire out (for example), I cheer myself with "go Chrissy-girl."  Part of my name (which I don't think I ever mentioned before).  I pep talk myself with the Chrissy-girl name for lots of things.  Anyway, I tell Mallory to shut up and cheer on Chrissy-girl for making healthy choices.

It's funny because this boarders on silly, yet I share it and I'm doing it.  But the MANTRA feels embarrassing.  I'm a strange complicated girl.

Workout today is some easy cardio.  I'm still nursing my ankle.  Some treadmill walking, light jogging and then dog walking outside.  I'm stiff from a heavy lift session yesterday.  I hope to be back to boxing next week - I miss it.

I am praying to the Shopping Gods for some quick success.  Lord help me.  I need to find my girl-card and be a shopper today.  Online shopping is my thang, but no time for that before Saturday.  Is this a call for Chrissy-girl?!?!  Just kidding, but still wish me luck.  Later gators.
