There's just something about shopping that makes you forget about food. Normally, I have to eat something by 12 noon before my stomach starts growling and I start feeling faint. But miraculously, when you are in a store shopping, eating just disappears from your mind until you get back into your car to drive home.
Today I didn't realize I hadn't eaten anything the entire day until about 4pm when I was driving home. [By the way- Barney's is having a sale] Of course, there is nothing to eat in my apartment except for cereal, so after a small bowl of corn pops I was pretty content. Then I decided to take advantage of this and start on my long-delayed diet. I need to shed a few pounds and my belly for bikini season in Hawaii and a couple of weddings this fall.
So I went to Pilates. Yup, I actually walked the 50 steps across the street to a Pilates mat class. It's been so long since I've been that I forgot how grueling and intense this "low-intensity, calorie-burning" workout is. And moreover, today's class was a more advanced one, so it was especially tough for someone as out of shape as I am.
So, of course, all this pain can't go without reward. And I am rewarding myself tonight with a half-rack of baby back ribs, hush puppies, and rum cake from Mr. Cecil's BBQ.
