A Graham Cracker Just Saved My Life

I am not kiddng when I tell you that a graham cracker just saved my life. A few weeks ago, I made a conscious decision to be healthier. It's not something I plan to blog about often, if at all because if I  fail, then you will know me as a loser. I AM NO ONE'S LOSER HONEY! So there will be no talk of pounds and all that mumbo jumbo. Trust me, you will know if I hit my goal though...because there will be alot of posts of my shoes with me wearing NO CLOTHES. (I'm not joking...okay, I am...but only a little:)

Anyway..........the point is that I have been eating moderately and doing all of the right stuff. More water, less junk...way more excercise. Well, I have this relationship with cookies. If you've been reading my blog for a while...you know that I have been dating The Double Stuffed Golden Oreos since I discovered them last year. It's a toxic relationship really. Every time I break up with them, they go on sale and then I make up with them again.

So, self control with cookies doesn't work for me. I am by no means depriving myself but I know my limits and I have no limit when it comes to cookies. They simply CAN'T BE NEAR ME. So, yesterday I decided that I needed something "cookie-ish". Soooo...I decided to take the lesser of evils and eat a cinnamon graham cracker!  OMG! Here are just a few things that happened when I bit into it.

1. The room got brighter.
2. I broke into the River Dance
3. I heard birds singing in the trees of Sierra Leone.
4.  My IQ rose about ten points.
5.  I had an overwhelming desire to run a 30K marathon!
(I'm wearing a dress from the Lloyds of London line for Target. I should have worn my favorite belt with it. Instead I wore a gold thrifted belt. Target is really doing great things these days:)

I say all that to say that the graham cracker was good:)

This isn't the first time something like this has happened to me. A few years ago, I lost my mind and tried to do the Dr. Ian diet (FatSmash Diet). I went for days without any breads or sugars. I ordered a salad and forgot to "hold" the croutons...let's just say the crouton saved my life that day!

By the way, this is what the Target model looks like in the dress:)
And here are the sandals, I'm wearing. I've had these since last summer. I'm not sure why they aren't cheaper now:)

Oh...Thank you to Gi Gi from Gi Gi Goes Shopping for my interview/feature. You make me sound way cooler than I really am:

I Love Gifts!

(One of my all time favorite dresses...Zachary Smile dress from Anthropologie. And yes, the belt is back. I can't stop wearing it with everything!)
I won my first blog give away from my Bloggy Godmother Mish from Mish DISH! It was a goodie bag from the Aspen Fashion Show. All kinds of stuff in it...moisturizers, gift certificates, makeup...good stuff! But MISH threw in a treat for me! A necklace from her own personal Jewelry Line!!!!
I love this necklace so much! It's perfect! I can loop it for it days! Thank you Bloggy Godmother (I totally forced that title upon her!) Now let's work on getting the rest of your wardrobe to me!!
By the way...this dress has history on this blog. There was a whole lot of chaos and confusion from the designers about me and this dress. It's a must read! Click here for the first post that resulted in the designers of the dress contacting me...click here for the follow up:)


...and seriously Mish...I love the necklace...and I love my little personal note you sent me! I'm saving it:)
