Today I did very much not good on calories

and not in the bingeing sense, either. I think INCLUDING the mexican I had for dinner tonight I was only between 800-1000 calories (I can only approximate on what the 1/2 plate of nachos -- sans sour cream, guacamole, and jalapeno but with chicken not beef -- was worth. Especially since I didn't eat the whole plate). But I swear I didn't do it on purpose!

I slept in and when I got up kinda piddled around, drank some water, checked my mail, played with the cats. Met Evan around 11:15, worked out on some cardio. Came back, more homework, called mom, etc. Realized I should probably start looking into professional attire such as suits and blazers. Ran to Opelika to check out TJ Maxx and Target (found some super cute stuff), came back, lounged -- and by the time I realized I hadn't really eaten all day (somewhere in there I grabbed a crescent roll) it was like, 45minutes or an hour before I made plans to meet people for dinner. I'd been sucking down water all day and never really got the stomach growls or the headache that usually comes. So...I didn't really think about it to be honest. Normally I do, but today I was just so content with not doing ANYTHING that well, I guess that included eating.

So with working out, the myfitnesspal app says that if everyday were like today, I'd weight 142 ish in 5 weeks. And while I like that number, I don't like how I got to it today.

ANYWAY, I guess I could include this also in my regular blog, but it has to do with fitness, too, so I'll just post it here. Working out/losing weight/drinking so much water (I think the last one is putting me in a great mood) has made me really start to look at fashion. Like, I'm getting to a point where I think I can actually wear stuff I think is cute AND look good in it. @.@ Cosmic, right?  Anyway, so today at Target, though I did not find the blazer/jacket/suit I was looking for, I did find the following dress:

Personally I think it looks pretty darn spiffy on. It's a little short for me to wear as a dress, but hey, that's what leggings are for. Actually, when I tried it on I was wearing nice jeans/slacks and it still looked awesome. Versatile? Yes please.

My ULTIMATE goal? Is to be able to pull off a style like this:

Now, I realize a) she has no boobs and b) she looks like she's about to fall asleep, but for some reason I LOVE this linen blazer. That being said, in a year or so it'll probably look outdated. I would probably dress this up with a long dangle necklace instead, but I can't wait to be confident enough to wear jeans, a tank, a blazer and a thin belt and not like I'm a "fat girl trying to dress like a skinny one."

And no, I'm not calling myself fat. But we've ALL seen the not-so-skinny-girls in skinny jeans and the girls that don't seem to understand STILL that leggings are NOT pants.

Anyway, for some reason I'm into fashion. I'm gonna try to hit up some resale places when I go home for Thanksgiving and see if consignment stores will be my friends. :)
