Day 348: New Home Items, Chocolate Binge, Grrrr

I'm going to start thsi post by first thanking you for your photo comments from my last post! We like's to party... and i'm glad you guys are cool with that. I once was told by a "trainer" that "you can't lose weight if you drink." Um.... not realistic for me, homie. Anywho - thanks for your kind words! We do have fun with some great friends here in ATL! So.... I have some Home Updates. I'm SO excited!! The painter starts the 3-day job today. TODAY. I'm so excited! Here's there now!! And here's some stuff I purchased on Sunday - woo!

So these don't look AMAZING on here, but I heart them (and swear they look better in person!)! I bought four from crate & barrel - they're banana leaf mirrors. I plan to hang them in the dining room to make a large square! (they're each 16x16)




We got these at Frontgate (6 to put along the retaining wall in the backyard). NOT in this color though, in bronze (dark brown).




This is 26"x26" - for the entry way. Love it! (Z Gallerie)

I got the green pillow at Z Gallerie for the green guest room!



I got this for the seating area in the kitchen!! (online at Etsy - Joom's shop)



It was time... I began planning our wedding wall...



Then I had six 8"x6" photos printed and bought 6 frames at Crate and Barrel. I planned it on on the bed in the orange guest room!



Speaking of orange - I bought this for the chair in the scrapbook room! (Also from Etsy/Joom)!



That's all folks! I'll post pics once the items are in the house, in their new little homes. How exciting! (for me... sorry if you're bored to tears!)

K- enough of that! Yesterday was blah you guys. I didn't sleep well, felt like poo, got in bad traffic, etc. BUT I had yummy eats which is always fun. However, I didn't get in cardio. I had to go to a 2nd crate & barrel (by my office) for more mirrors and another frame so I skipped the lunch workout. Then after work I just had to go home. My tummy was upset. I had had a mini chocolate binge at a 3 - 4:30 meeting.... I had 2 reese's cups... 2 hershey kisses... 1 dove chocolate...2 mini snickers. Then, as if that wasn't enough.... they brought in an edible arrangement.... enter a chocolate covered straberry and a small chocolate covered banana. OMG - who am I?! What is wrong with me. DAMN YOU TOM! Sigh. I went home defeated and opened the mirrrors and one was broken. GRRRRRR. So I worked on the wedding wall (above) and focused on happy things (gathering pics from this post!). Then me and Austin had dinner and watched True Blood and Entourage. Yet again, True Blood ROCKED and Entourage was luke warm. Sigh. I need more Ari Gold!!
I ended the day at 1,900 calories, 199 carbs, 62 fat grams and 133 carbs. Grrr. Here’s what I ate. I know… what didn’t I eat?! Eek! And NO workouts. Shame I tell ya. And my weight was up. to 119, people. Uh-oh – time to hit the gym like crazy because this coming weekend I will have a house full of besties in town for a shower I’m hosting – uh-oh!!
