It's FINALLY starting to feel like Christmas. I'm so glad. And I'm so happy(: for now anyway, I really hope that it lasts. This may be a quick post but who knows, I talk a lot(;
I think I'm starting to feel happier because I'm getting out a lot more. If I just stay locked up in the house for days, of course I'm going to get depressed. I'm not talking to anyone or really doing anything.
I have been going for a few walks lately. They're so much fun(: I usually don't go for very long, and I have to bundle up a lot, but they're still fun. I usually go with my dad and my dog and have a latte afterwards. The chai tea latte from Dunn bros is my new favorite.
I also went Christmas shopping alll day today. I got my mom these yummy truffles from See's candy, and some fuzzy socks. They're soo soft!
I got my dog a tonn. I love my dog(: She makes me happy so I got her a lot. I got her a cute pink coat, 2 toys, some new chewies, and some gourmet treats that she loves. I'll post pictures of her in the coat later(:
I think it's starting to feel like Christmas again because my mom put up a cute Christmas tree in the living room and put presents under it. I already opened one, it was an outfit from express:D I love express, I already know the shoes I'm going to wear with it also. I'll post pictures of the Christmas tree & my Christmas express outfit sometime later.
So this weekend has been really fun. I saw the movie how do you know yesterday at like 9:30 pm and it kinda sucked, but I liked going out late. I also ate at this cute buffet style restaurant called Q.cumbers and it was so good! My fear of eating out no longer exists. I don't want to limit myself, so I've ate out a lot lately. And surprisingly, every time I go out my portions aren't huge, they're pretty normal sized. I'm glad that I'm able to eat out without worrying again(: I missed eating out and not restricting the day after.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I almost forget these this week! Good thing I remembered(:
I lovee frozen yogurt(: I really like the soft serve kind, but this is the next best thing.
This tastes amazing with white chocolate chips or yogurt chips
My mom made this salad for me a few days ago(: It's soo good! It's basically just cheddar cheese, apples, and lettuce. I haven't found a dressing I like yet. I kinda like french, so maybe I'll try that next time.
This was the cutest movie ever. I know that I say that a lot, but it really is. The guy is like, totally perfect(: People called him a nerd throughout the movie, but he's soo not. Another great John Hughes movie.
This is probably my favorite naked juice. It's fruit andd vegetables. I love it.
And lastly, my favorite quote of the week(:
Have a great night everyone!
I love that quote! The holidays are a great feeling! :)

ps- Can you read my blog?
I like the holiday feeling as well. It seems rather illusive this time of year for me though. But maybe it'll come a little later.
ReplyDeleteI think it's amazing how you've overcome your fear of eating out. I used to be paranoid of controlling my food, but as soon as I stated to "let go" more I realize that I would not start eating HUGE portions. Everything just evens out because your body knows what you need.
Hope you keep enjoying the holiday season!
This is such a cute post! It's so great that you no longer have a fear of eating out. I love eating out at restaurants because there is such a positive atmosphere and whether or not I like the food, I really get a kick out of trying new things nowadays.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what your tree looks like! I'll show you mine if you show me yours ;) haha

This is such an encouraging post! Looking back only a few days or weeks ago when you were so terrified to eat at all let alone eat out. YOU ROCK!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the pictures!! =D I used to spoil my dog too...There were these homemade cookie/treats I used to buy for her that had tiny little paw print on each cookie. She LOVED them!
I've never tried frozen yogurt, so I might just have to get some! Where do you buy it?
Wonderful post, I could almost picture you standing up to Ed as you did what was healthy!!

What a fab post! It sounds like you are doing really well and being really positive. I don't think we have frozen yoghurt in UK, is it like ice cream?

ReplyDeleteThat pumkin frozen yogurt looks good! I love the Edy's version, but I wish it wasn't limited edition :(
I also LOVE that movie! I watched it a lot growing up, but it's funny, because I didn't know the name of it until you posted it! Ha! But yeah, I've watched it a lot!
