Eating healthy at Abe and Louis

Retail therapy at my favorite store.......Bebe.  Not so into this outfit.....Have you heard the song "I'm on a boat.....???" they would have to play this the entire time I wore this outfit.....

So yesterday morning I started out my day soooooooo excited!  I was going to a big pool party at the MGM (at Foxwoods) and I couldn't wait!  When I'm getting ready for a photo shoot, I usually stay in for the last couple of weeks, so I can get extra rest, and also so that I can make all of my meals and adhere to my diet.  Well I got an invite from a friend to a pool party and thought: perfect!  Dancing, being outside, and I can just drink water or iced tea and pack something healthy ( I know this probably sounds strange, but I have followed so many diets at this point, I am used to having to bring my own food)   Anyway, I got all ready to go, and packed up my food, put on my bikini etc, and was sitting waiting......my friend called me after we were supposed to leave, and cancelled.  Uggggh, sads!  I was so very excited to go, and so disappointed to stay home!  I felt like a little kid and sort of wanted to cry....but I thought, c'mon Megan.....when life gives you lemons....you make lemonade!  I've been really busy lately...and started to think about the things that I have been wanting to do, but have not had the time....  I met up with a friend and walked around Newbury for a bit, then hit some of my favorite stores....so fun!  I wound up buying all sorts of adorable pairs of shorts at bebe, I was so surprised as I didn't think I was a fan of shorts...but I take it back, I truly am.

After shopping I went to Abe and Louis for Filet Mignon, because I was famished from all the shopping.   I wound up meeting up with two friends, and having a very amusing and laughter filled dinner, and although I ate quite a bit, I chose healthy things, and felt happy that I stayed on my plan.  I had a few shrimps from the shrimp cocktail to start, followed by the filet mignon (with asparagus on the side) and two chocolate covered strawberries to end the dinner.  Healthy, and such a great day too:)  When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.... (and eat chocolate coved strawberries:)!!!

Stay gorgeous and healthy,

Megan

Look good for the clothes you have, instead of looking for more clothes!

Me, in action....shopping....

I love shopping, I really do!  The smell of new clothes wrapped in tissue paper, a flawless and crisp new blouse that hasn't been worn once, but there is something that looks even better than new clothes.....you, in your clothes that you already have, just languishing in your closet, if your body isn't feeling so great.  When you put your time, and resources into your fitness, and nutrition, it's amazing how just about anything in your closet will suddenly look great on you.  Have you ever noticed that when you are really in shape you get tons of compliments on the clothes that you are wearing?  It's because you make them look great!  Save some money on new clothes, and instead spend it on produce......and the time you would have spent finding a black dress that makes you "look" skinny, going to the gym, and making your lunches.....so you actually are!  Your credit card, and the clothes in your closet will thank you!

Happiness is.......clothes from 10 years ago that still fit!

Did anyone see the episode of Sex in the City where Mirandah fits into her skinny jeans years and years later?  Yesterday I was cleaning out my storage space, and I found an old Claude Montana jumper?  Shorts and a top all in one....from 10 years ago, and it still fit!  Yay me!!!  And may I just say, it's not natural...and I don't have a fast metabolism, I work for it:)  Anyway, it made me happy...and I was making a little shopping haul video for my new website, so I thought I would include a picture:)  Also just a silly pic of me and ted my yorkie....happy day!

Taking time to smell the roses

With Ted at Pawsh, best dog groomers around!

Life gets so busy sometimes......and it almost starts to seem like if we haven't filled up every second of our day, then we must be doing something wrong.  For quite a while, I've been so booked up in my life, that I haven't had any sort of a "Sunday" and I'm just starting to realize that such a day might be in order.      

Today felt luxurious because I dropped Teddy (my teacup Yorkie) off to be groomed in the morning, and I had an hour an a half to shop for new work clothes in a leisurely manner.  It felt fabulous to have the time, and now I feel ready to go and make some videos for the video workout blog that's coming out soon. I'm going to try to take some pictures of the things I bought today, they are beautiful!  Super high, but comfortable shoes......

I also had a consultation for some extensions that I am getting next week (yes I have some in now) and I will be sure to post before and after pictures for you guys:)

With my boo, Teddy....at "our" consult:)  Shout out to Jana:)  She is the best!  xoxo

Day 2 California Photo Shoot

Yesterday was a great day!  I was able to get a little sleep, then get up for the first day of shooting rested, and ready to go.  We got a bit sidetracked at first.....I saw Guess, and Sephora.....and got lost in there for about an hour!  After that, I picked up a cute pair of platform, wedge, sandals...because we were going to walk all  over town to make some videos and take pictures.  We spent most of the day in the Fashion district of LA....it's a bit like Canal Street in Boston.....and it has everything!  I bought shoes, jeans, shirts, everything.....and it was ridiculously cheap!  Somewhere along the way though, I needed food.....and there was nothing acceptable around!  On the way back to the train we found a little greek restaurant, and I had a shwarma? Soooooo good.  Then after so many hours....back to the hotel to pick out wardrobe for today:)
