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
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.
