Last week I started the Skinny Girl Diet.

Day 2. Friday, June 24th.

All was well until the hungries hit.

I should've just gone to bed.

It was 11:00 pm. I could have slept.

I could have done anything.

But no.

I was hungry.

For fast food.

SGD Days 1 and 2

In order to combat the binge to end all binges, I've started the Skinny Girl Diet.

I'm normally not a fan of calorie-restrictive fad diets because they never work for me because I find it impossible to stick with them.

Luckily, that doesn't seem to be the case with SGD.

Instead of feeling hungry and pissed that I can't eat more, I just go into the kitchen and find some fresh fruit or veggies to nibble on.

I'm turning into a little rabbit.

Obligatory cute bunny picture.

My Gluttony Knows No Bounds

Let me start this post with a thanks for all of the lovely comments on my last post.

And also, a sweet sorrowful apology for not posting lately and not being caught up on reading your blogs.

You guys really are too kind.

Completely forgot to mention on Sunday that it was the TWO MONTH ANNIVERSARY of être svelte.

While Sunday was a day of good, these past couple of days have been very, very bad.

Or, more accurately, I have been very, very bad.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Back From Mini-Trip - Pic Heavy

Well the trip went swimmingly.

Shakespeare in the Park was quite good - Much Ado About Nothing.

We had ourselves a little picnic at the play - my aunt brought cocktail shrimp, chilled Cucumber Avocado soup, an Italian sub, and roasted garlic hummus with pita chips.

Today we slept in late, had coffee and cereal for breakfast, and eventually made our way to City Museum.

Away Again

Sorry if this is short, but I'm away again this weekend to visit my other aunt and uncle in St. Louis before the big move.

We had homemade margherita pizza last night.

Today I finally used the first out of my growing collection of Groupons. Finally, haha.

It was for a manicure and Minx nail application. The manicurist was extremely nice and helpful and told us about neat things to do nearby. The nails weren't half bad either, ba-dunk-chink!

In all actuality, I'm not sure if I like them or not. The Minx application is definitely different and interesting, but at the same time I think they look slightly trashy. What do you ladies think? To Minx, or not to Minx?

Tonight we're going to see Much Ado About Nothing at Shakespeare in the Park.

On tomorrow's agenda: adventuring around the City Museum followed by the St. Louis Zoo.

I'll update with pictures of adventures and catch up on your blogs on Monday!

A bientôt, lovelies.

Рецепт недели четыре

That's right!

It's the Recipe of the Week - IN RUSSIAN.

This one's for you, Peridot.

The Soviets are taking over and, believe me, you'll like what they're bringing.

It's time to get down with the (former) Communist Par-tayyy with Recipe of the Week 4.

I'm a dork.

20 lbs GONE :D + lots of workout talk

It's official.

My weight on the scale has crept down to 120 lbs.

Proof!

When I first started dieting, exercising, etc. in April, I weighed 140 lbs.

It was the most I had ever weighed and I was so discouraged with myself for gaining that much weight.
