Lil Pig

LOVED reading your comments on the wardrobe situation – glad to hear I’m not the only one!

After putting on my questionably-age-appropriate outfit for the day, I scoped out the garden and plucked a ripe green zebra tomato.

Love these little guys!

We went shoe shopping!

I hit up my fave section of the store – the sale racks! I feel like you can always find at least one diamond in the rough.

I LOVED these…so runway!

These fabulous Carlos Santanas were unfortunately growing uncomfortable after I walked around the store in them a bit, so put them back.

And these were too cute with feathery things over the top of the foot.

They were a steal at less than $30, but I’m really trying to be minimalist with my wardrobe right now, I turned these down too.

I did end up getting these gorgeous silver pumps that hubby actually found. They’re mildly uncomfortable, but mostly comfortable, so I’m hoping they work out. I am a HUGE fan of bows on shoes though…so cute and only $24.90!

We also hit up a consignment store in search of furniture and I picked up this stunning vase-thingy. Ok, I don’t know exactly what it is, but it’s totally my color and will probably be used to display with my other plateware or to hold flowers. I love the pink against the light-turquoise.

Hubby and I hit up local fave Mac’s Speed Shop for a celebratory lunch in honor of my first public zumba class. The weather was gorgey so we decided to get some fresh air and dine al fresco.

I love how much personality this place has and how actual bikers actually frequent the place.

I got sweet tea and hubby got an Amstel Light.

Happy hubby.

Hubby and I got 2 entrees and shared them.

The “Lil Pig” – a pulled pork sandwich with fries…

…and a smoked, hand pulled turkey with mac and cheese and collard greens.

Not the lightest lunch, but daaaaamn tasty. Lucky me, I can usually only eat small portions in one sitting so hubby ate the majority of the eats and I took smaller portions.

Anywho, the food was amazing…prob the best BBQ I’ve had in town. We liked the pork better than the turkey but the sides were all around fantastic! Esp the mac and cheese – reminds me of my dad’s mac and cheese!

In honor of the beautiful day, we enjoyed some froyo outside.

I totally saw a 4 year old wearing a skirt just like mine playing around this fountain area while we were enjoying froyo. Nice! lol

Practiced my photography skills with a moving water shot. Still got it! Woohoo!

Hubby and I also picked up doggie treats while we were out. Bailey’s birthday is on the 25th, so this is his birthday week. Extra treats for Bailey!

Btw, caterpillars are devouring my parsley in my garden. Look at em go!!

Luisa’s Brick Oven Pizzeria was our dinner spot of choice.

We started with some yummy bruschetta.

And also got a 1/2 cheese 1/2 banana pepper pizza. We enjoyed everything and had leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Not the healthiest day of eats today, but you know what…I don’t care. I’m so over my restrictive eating days…I eat what I want now. I just generally like healthier eats. I think it all evens out.

Anywho, my sugar overload must still be in effect because hubby suggested we get dessert at dinner and I totally didn’t want any! Amazing for this sweet-tooth!

Hubby and I came home to give Bailey one of his special treats – a mini puppy tart.

Bailey swallowed the darn thing! Guess corgis really are “gulpers.” πŸ˜†

Do you feel bad or guilt yourself when you eat unhealthy foods or eat too much?

  1. The puppy tart is too cute! I would totally eat something like that by accident :-P. I also love your taste in shoes, after all a girl can never have too many shoes!

  2. when I eat too much I just feel… bad πŸ™‚ when I eat unhealthy, it’s usually because I’m craving it and I’ll just go with it, but plan and eat really clean around it, you know? πŸ™‚ and then eat good stuff WITH it, like salads and LOTS of water. πŸ™‚

    Happy Birthday Cute Bailey Pupper… πŸ™‚

  3. Too much fun going on here: mac and cheese, cute shoes (you should try some of those cushy inserts from Payless to make them more comfy), BBQ, Lilly Pulitzer (not too young looking), and a cute puppy. I do feel guilt sometimes after eating out too much, but I always go back to balanced eating the next day and feel fine. I do enjoy my unhealthy food though while I’m eating it and that’s all that counts πŸ™‚

  4. I do feel bad when I eat too much. I’ve recently bought a small size dinner plate though so hopefully that will help me reduce my portion sizes! Your Bailey is so cute πŸ™‚ love your new shoes too!

    • I totally think plate sizes help! I have a post in the works about healthy eating and plate size is in there. πŸ™‚

      Thanks on the pups and shoe compliments!

  5. Loved the shoes! I just bought a pair very similar to the black feathery ones. Only mine are in a champagne color. They are adorable but kill your feet!
    Glad you guys had a great day!

  6. I feel really bad when I over eat. BLAH! I try to eat healthy but my prob is no one else wants to so it makes it really hard when they are cramming food into my face to eat when I really want to eat healthier.

    Those puppy treats are awesome!

    You know what is SO weird? MY corgi who looks just like yours was born on May 25th! LOL Is yours a grumpy butt sometimes? Mine gets SO grouchy around 9pm.

    I just wanted to tell you I love your blog. It is so cool! Thinking about doing Zumba just have not gotten there yet!

    • Hey Jennifer! It’s definitely harder when those around you aren’t into the healthy eating. But, you always have your online friends and healthy living community. πŸ™‚

      So neat about your corgi! What’s his/her name? Bailey doesn’t usually get too grumpy, but he does like to think he’s the boss.

      Zumba is so fun! You can find a class near you by going to zumba.com and searching for a class near your location of choice.

  7. I do feel guilty after eating unhealthy foods. Lately, when I go out to eat I’ve been trying to make wise choices and pay attention to when I am full rather than eat whatever and however much I want. But if I do get off track I know I can get right back on track at the next meal. By the way, I like the outfit–it’s girly and summery all at the same time.

  8. I love your attitude that you’re over your restrictive eating days and comfortable eating what you want. I feel the exact same way (and was also restrictive in the past). It sucks being paranoid around food and so much better to enjoy food reasonably and live life!

  9. I think that outfit is adorable! I used to get SUPER guilty after indulging, but I’ve realized that eating one fattening meal (or even three) won’t make me gain weight. What’s more, it doesn’t mean I have no control, and it DEFINITELY doesn’t mean I’m any less of a person. Good for you for finding a healthy balance!
