Yesterday I headed into the city after finishing work purely with the intent of going to Stockmanns and shopping. Things started well; I bought some books, browsed some shops, and tried on some clothes. Suddenly I found myself and Sushi Bar + Wine with Danielle where we ate and drank the obvious, then at a cafe where we indulged in double chocolate cake and slushies, then at the bar, and finally McDonalds where I grubbed myself silly on a Big Mac.
Yup. A nasty, guilty feeling and several hard-earned euros later, and I had no idea what had happened... The lesson I've learned? To stop hanging out with Danielle. Who else would buy a 7 euro Big Mac with me?! Although, on my train ride home I did witness a drunken brawl between two Estonians in which the train had to be stopped and the Estonians escorted out by police, all of which made me feel much less out of control.
Happily, despite my "splurging" ways, I've somehow managed to lose weight while here! This week I said hello to my size 6 Lucky jeans and my size 4 Anthropologie dress. Definitely not a key point in this post, but worth mentioning. Anyway, if you're wondering how that's possible I'll let you in on a little secret- it's called walking. Everyone, myself included, walks everywhere here. In fact, I wore heels last night (stupid) and by the end I was forced to take them off and walk the final stretch home barefoot. It was the proper way to end the night.
No comment...
Hearing that walking alone causes weight loss only further encourages me and excites me to walk absolutely everywhere when I move to Long Beach! I'm hoping to fit into a size 4 jean by the second week of school (pppphhhhhhhhtt yeah right).
