Why you starin’ at me foo’?

colorfulI’m freaking freezing everywhere I go, so I’ve been piling on the layers (along with 2 pairs of socks at any given moment). 

I got a lot of stares from people when wearing this outfit in the past. Not sure whether to feel violated, self conscious, or fabulous. I mean, it’s not that great of an outfit. I’m trying to incorporate more color into my fall/winter wardrobe. Do you still wear your summer clothing throughout the winter and just cover it with a cardy or anything? I’m thinking about busting out this vibrant top, but it may be too summery. Opinions?

13 days til I’m home for Christmas!!

J Crew cashmere cardy, what else?

orangeToday was brutal outside. Last night the Boyfriend and I joined the gym that is in the same building as I work. Literally walk 15 steps in the atrium and the open doors for the gym are right there. I scored an amazing deal of $380 per year.

I ended up going on the wave machine that mimics skiing or snowboarding moves, and it was so difficult that I had to get off after pushing myself to make it to the 10 minute mark. My legs were jello, so I decided to walk down the stairs (it’s a 2 story gym. It’s huge, and so beautiful. But doesn’t make me like the gym anymore), to get on the sit down bike – like you’re on a couch almost, with a TV in front of you, peddling. I initially decided to go only for 30 minutes, but since my Boyfriend who was on the treadmill in front of me, didn’t look like he was going to stop at anytime, I decided to go for 45. My butt hurts. But fortunately, nothing hurts today.

It’s a blizzard out there today. My lunch room at work is on the top floor and we have windows over looking one of the round-abouts by work, and we car-gaze all through our lunch. It was interesting to see today, because since the roads are completely snow covered everyone was fish-tailing all around. But someone nearly clipped a light pole. They were clearly going around the round-about too quickly, and rammed right into a snow pile. He was stuck for all of 30 seconds, when the next car stopped to help – along with 3 other people!! I love good samaritans.

Get this: it was a Mazda 3 hatch too :( I hope I never get stuck around that darn thing. I have winter tires on my car, but I have to say — it’s SO different not driving with studded tires! I was sliding a bit too, this morning.

I’m still wearing clothes that I picked out ages ago on one lonely Friday night. Remember that post? I can’t link it because I can’t find it. But you know the one… where I was bored one Saturday night and I literally scrimmaged through my tops and bottoms and tried putting as many outfits for work as possible. Three weeks worth possible, until I wanted to give up and sleep.

Where’s the flood?

floodpantsFull of fail fashion all this week. My pants shrunk? Clearly, I need to go out and get some new winter pants. I love however, that I am wearing one of my top finds on etsy. This necklace is super gorgs, and I bought it here.

Do you ever get a nervous stomach for the unknown? Fear the unknown. That’s what I’m all about :(

When I go to a new Doctor and I’m waiting in the examining room and I don’t know if he’s young, old, grumpy… all of the above. I get nervous. I get so nervous, that I’m literally sick to my stomach. That is what my stomach is feeling like today — a jumble ball of mess. It doesn’t have to be because I’m going to a Doctor’s appointment, it could easily be something like: SIGNING UP FOR THE GYM. The gym that I used to attend (and quit, in May 2008 lol) is in the same building that I work. My boyfriend’s office is 300 meters way and we’re planning to head back home and pick up our gym stuff (because we conveniently forgot it this morning) heading back so we I can start losing some body fat % (he’s a triathlete, he has like 1% B.F!) . I don’t have anything to be scared of except for the fact that I’m extremely competitive with myself and I try and go further and harder than the last time. I feel like I plateau, but I really don’t because I never work out for more than 8 months at a time. I want to break that record. I want to make a life changing decision and have a life style change. I don’t want to be an unfit elderly person. Since I can’t play soccer anymore for a while, I need a new activity! Sitting on the couch all the time just won’t cut it. Stop. Being. Lazy. Your pants need to fit you, Nancy!

I had a dream the other night that I won my first Triathlon. I think that pushed me over the edge…
