Matchy Poo

I have a problem...

I can't stop matching my stuff

It's a serious issue, if my undies and bra don't match i swear things go wrong in my day

I buy lululemon sports bras that match my running shoes to peek out of my cool racerback tanks to save me from having to buy whole new matching wardrobes every time i buy new shoes


If my shade of tights doesn't match my shoes, i'm irked

When i buy purses i MUST have at least a scarf and/or hat and/or mittens that match, in the summer this has to be flipflops and/or flats

I have a sephora makeup set that makes me giddy because it has enough colours that the little highlight i use on the crease of my eyelids will ALWAYS match what i'm wearing that day, changing outfits mid day causes much rubbing, cursing and eye makeup remover

I like to consider this a quirk, my family has other names for it including the title :oD


Todays example...

My grey sweater is the same tone as my lululemon static grey tank, the tank is similar (not similar enough for me but similar none the same) to my lululemon scarf, the piping on the scarf matches my lululemon tights and the silver on the buttons goes with the silver chain i'm wearing


Topping off the outfit is my faux leather jacket from The Bay and leather flat riding boots from Nine WestI wore it with my purple Coach purse (ala Coach factory store in Niagara Falls NY) with matching Banana Republic mittens for a splash of colour - i squealed with glee when i found these mittens that matched EXACTLY, the other customers in the store were concerned, obviously don't know the delight that comes with finding matching shades of accessories

I admit it, i'm a matchy poo, but hey today will be a good day because my underthings match :o)

What I Ate Yesterday (soon to be known as WIAY - once i repeat it enough times that is!)
Breakfast: Banana Bread Oatmeal (oats, almond milk, ground flax, bananas, raisins, spices)

Lunch: Corn Chowder (again, kind of getting sick of it, must start cutting recipes in half)
Dinner: Spaghetti squash with vegetarian tomatoe sauce on top, have to admit, not a fan, it was the consistency that threw me off, i wanted pasta and i got vegetable :oÞ

What I Did Yesterday (WIDY, i am SO creative)

Ummmm: Nothing, lol!  I went to stretch and stregnth and the class was canceled, had a little hissy fit because this should have been updated on the online schedule and it wasn't, plus this is like the 5th time the guy hasn't shown up to teach, pfffttttt!

I went to visit my parents and hang out for a little bit,  then i went to a funeral visitation for a coworkers mum then raced home and watched Whip It with hubby cuddled up on the couch till 11:30, 6:00am came VERY early this morning, luckily the coworkers and i had arranged a Starbucks run this morning - so excited creme brulee soy lattes are still available!!!

Hoping to head out after work to a health food store about half an hour away to peruse the aisles and find some inspiration for dinners next week, wish me luck i will get there as we have a lot of snow in the forcast!

Zumba fun

I'm having trouble deciding when to post what (what i ate, what i did) etc...

Lets try talking about the day before

Yesterday I ate multigrain cheerios for breakfast with frozen blueberries, lunch was an amys vegetarian burger on half a multigrain flatbread with feta cheese melted on top and dinner was the BEST panini, i used a multigrain baguette, turkey, light havarti with apricot preserve and chipolte sauce - side salad filled the plate up, soooo yummy!

I ran home from work and headed to Zumba, SO excited that my fav teacher is back from mat leave (the nerve of leaving to birth and raise a child when you are the BEST teacher at my gym), i ended up waiting for hubby to come for squash and bring me my iphone that i left at home, while i waited i did some weights, 10 minutes on the eliptical and 10 minutes on the treadmill, i was pooped by the time i got home!  We did a lot of fun new songs and i have to say, i need a new sports bra the amount of shimming and shaking we do!

Here is the new tshirt i wrote about yesterday, happy friday - too bad i have to work tomorrow!

I'm laughing because hubby just wandered half naked into the bathroom asking what i was doing and then booted it when i realized i was taking a picture for the blog!

Its modern to heart lululemon

Title totally doesn't make sense but then half the time i don't either so we are totally buds, me and the title! 

Lululemon showed up on hubby and i's fav tv show Modern Family last night, i love how i'm examining the pockets, searching for thumbholes, examining the seams but declaring (well actually whooping in delight) that yes, it is in fact Lululemon!

Seriously - how funny is that show?  While i didn't feel last nights was the best show ever, i can't help but totally love the 3 familys that make me laugh my wednesday butt off!

I got my second (of four) luluelmon deliverys yesterday, i made hubby answer door as i was a wee bit embarassed as to how often fedex guy will be visiting us this week

My new purchase was the snorkel blue swiftly tech short sleeve t-shirt

Why do i love this tee? Let me count the ways...

Its a purty colour
It wicks sweat away like no other fabric i've ever tried
It is long enough to cover my ample bottom
The shade of blue matches my new asics!

These are the reasons lululemon say they made it...

• Lightweight seamless performance top with mesh venting in high sweat areas
• Fits like your favourite T-shirt
• Knitted with Silveresent™ for anti-stink & anti-static properties
• Wicking to keep you dry
• Chafe-resistant - flat seams

Here are some close up pics of the tshirt, not sure how the colour changes so drastically in the shots, must be the flash on the iphone

So much detail in the material

Purty right?

Love the writing on the inside of the bottom of the tshirt, so inspirational

So last night i did not get to the gym, we got in the car but hubby got text no courts were available and its insane trying to workout around 5:30 as everyone and their brother is there after work

BUT i did go for a run, hubby watched the Canada vs. Russia game with a buddy and i took the doodle for a run, not the best run (spent the first ten minutes hating on running SO bad) but then my toes thawed out and it was quite enjoyable for the next 20 minutes then my mum called and it was totally more enjoyable (cause i kind of went into a slow stroll at that point!)  I really want to keep up the running but other then the occasional run i'm probably going to just have to start over again in the Spring, but i think i'm okay with that as it was something like -11 celcius yesterday!

Food last night was good, hubby got in trouble for digging into the TUB of SHAME, more on that later!

Hope everyone is having a great day, i'll be back tomorrow with a pic of me actually wearing the above t-shirt (forgot last night) before hitting Zumba and possibly Body Art again

Have a great day!!!
