went shopping with mum today, supposedly for the ingredients for my lemon pud im cooking tonight. however... as we neared our favourite boutique (actually the only single place that offers nice clothes in a twenty mile radius of our home) we slowed down, our eyes lingering, hypnotized on the huge 50% (AND MORE!!) sale sign in the window. now i have never ever known anywhere as nice as this shop that does as amazing sales as here... today (yes we eventually surrendered to our cravings) i bought a pair of wonderfully stretchy black skinny jeans (size 9?! hurrah) that were armani reduced from £175 to £40!!!!!!!!!!! i mean come on......
so on leaving with new ted baker shorts and the skinny jeans i realised my recent problems caused by my chocolate gorging addiction and resulting tight trousers has been due to my will power in another department...SHOPPING! for the past 6 months i have battled one of my worst addictions and feel good pick me ups, in order to save money for my travels. although my bank liked this, my waistline has not and instead of that pair of heels after work (or what used to be college) to cheer me up has turned into a few choccies from thortons. so walking the streets swinging my sale bag of lovely new clothes (hee hee i know how cheesy) i felt soooo happy and now need to not binge even one tiny bit if i want to still fit in my new skinnies.
decided to take the father and the dog for a very very long walk up some kind of hill tomorrow as i have the entire weekend off work (woop!) whether this foul weather is present or not, in "training" for future mountains on my travels. problems in my upped training however is my thighs + skinny jeans. yesterday got on the treadmill after work and managed to pound my way through 40 minutes and 6 1/2 km again... feeling really good afterwards and healthy and fit. however, as my thighs are gaining muscle and consequently struggling to fit into what used to be lovely snug trousers (so it's not just the chocolate). i wish there was some way to have strong muscles but small; quality not quantity lol. my thoughts are however, that at least they are firm and don't wibble like fat flabby thighs and plus, nothing will beat the view from the top of a huge Andes mountain will it?
