Christmas shopping… for myself

Dinner

FacebookTweetPin
19 Dec

I was out Christmas shopping today and ended up with a gift for myself. I know this is really bad, but I have wanted this book since before it came out (a friend told me about it). I did tell my fam not to get it for me since I was going to buy it for myself. So excited!!!

I am especially psyched to read all about this hidden tribe – they are from Mexico! Those are my peeps! I would like to think I’m a descendant of this tribe. Word to your mother.IMG_3313

Ben brought left over Chinese food from lunch and I dug into it for dinner. I also ate some of his fries from his dinner. Chinese food and fries = too many indulgent foods lately! IMG_3312

I also got a hair cut 🙂 See that pimple on my right cheek? I have two of them and I keep waking up with them bloody. It’s really gross. I feel like a leopard. Yeah, I meant leopard not leper – I’d rather be a leopard, wouldn’t you?IMG_3316

I think I need to get my balance back. My goal is usually to eat healthy 80% of the time and fun stuff 20%. Lately it’s been more 80% fun and 20% healthy – maybe that’s an exageration, but I am off balance!

    Thanks so much for giving everyone remarkably brilliant opportunity to read critical reviews from this site. It is always so brilliant and also full of fun for me and my office friends to visit your web site at the very least three times every week to read through the new stuff you have. And indeed, I’m actually astounded with your impressive tips and hints you serve. Selected 3 ideas in this posting are truly the most impressive I’ve ever had.

    There are a few interesting points in time on this page however don‘t know if I see these center to heart. There’s some validity but I will need hold opinion until I look into it further. Piece of content , thanks so we want more! Put into FeedBurner at the same time

    The off-balanced issue must be due to the holidays. Not that this season should be used as an excuse. Don’t beat yourself up over it. Just make a conscious effort to find your balance again.

    Looking forward to hearing how the book is! Stress acne is all I have to say. I’m breaking out like crazy right now. Keep up the fun during the holidays – you’ve trained for the marathon and will do great!!

    that’s awesome about the book! I’m sure you are a descendant from that tribe 😉
    I’m feeling you with the whole 80% fun 20% healthy thing. I need to work on getting back on track too! (I guess I can’t really say “back” because I haven’t really ever been on track… oh well… I already typed it so it’s staying!)
    But look at all that broccoli in the chinese food! that’s healthy! lol

    I think the 80/20 rule is a good one to stick by. I’m sure you’ll get back on track soon. The holidays make it hard to stay on track :/ but don’t worry it’ll all work out!

    Also, I see no pimple, my chin on the other hand…

    I always fall a little off track in the winter/holiday season, but I know I can always get back on track easily! 🙂

    The author of that book was on The Daily Show. It sounds very interesting. Enjoy reading.

    You look beautiful. I have zits and I’m 30 freakin years old. I don’t think it has anything to do with diet. It’s just your body chemistry. Don’t get down about it.

    I’ve been wanting to read that too! I don’t think it’s bad to buy yourself a Christmas present at all! I bought myself a cute dress for a night out as my present. Why not?

    I don’t see a pimple!!! I think your balance is off because of the holidays… Mine sure is. I keep saying the day after Christmas is when I’ll get back on track. It’s so hard around the holidays!
