How to get into my trousers

Now that I've got your attention, the subject here is how I will get into my trousers. I have a lot of them, but unfortunately most of them have become too tight on me the last couple of years. Since I don't have the money to buy an entire new wardrobe of trousers and dresses, I have decided to eat less and move more. Mostly move more. And eat less sweets.

Therefore, from now on, there will be sporadic updates of what I've done of exercise, since I have seen this be done on several other blogs, and I have also signed up for a spinning-thing at my gym, where, if you go spinning 24 times before December 9th, you have the chance of winning a bike. I already have a bike, but I like winning stuff. And this bike is nicer than my bike. It's nice to have a concrete goal, that's what everyone says anyway.

So far, I have spun (?) 4 times. Only 20 to go. I meant to go today but I had forgotten that I had signed up for a talk about a south pole expedition, which, btw, was very interesting.

Nuff talk, here's the past two weeks:

colour code:
grey: nothin' done
blue: a proper workout
green: some movement

What's your goal this fall? Or do you have a goal with a longer timescale?

Intermezzo

As I am the undefeated queen of procrastination, here's a bit of randomness while I spend some more time doing things other than revising for exams. And it's not like my procrastinations are useless anyway. I have cleaned my boots, hoovered, made three litres of vegetable soup and played three rounds of Carcasonne. A perfectly ok Saturday. Outside it's snowing, has been all day.

In my head, everything can be fixed by a cup of tea. Seriously, everything.

 I was web-window shopping here the other day and came across this little set of sportstop and -shorts at H&M and my goodness how I want it! I never wear short shorts, but I still want it. But, 2012 is a partial shop-stop year, so no gold underwear today.

Window shopping

I've found that a good way to quench my shopping hunger is to do a bit of online Windows shopping (no Mac users here), but it must be from a foreign store. That way I'm appalled by the thought of the final price of the garments considering first adding postage, then a 12% customs fee and then a 25% VAT (moms) regardless of whether the store in question has subtracted the VAT first or not. It's ridiculous but money saving.

Aaaaanyway... Everything below is from Topshop, again.
First some romantic style garments

 
Followed by my obsession with shirts (and cardigans)

   

And finally the leftovers which don't really go that well together but let's just call it a mismatch thingy that I totally ment to happen

Made the mistake of entering Topshop's webshop just a sec ago. Fortunately I have no money therefore nothing was bought. Also, remember that London called? Well, on Sunday to come I'll be flown to London, get my hair cut and coloured, take pictures of it, stay in a hotel in Kensington, and be flown back on Saturday. The hotel has wifi, laptop and camera will be brought and I hope to blog about the whole thang. And there's Topshop in London, which was the point of this whole little story. Hopefully there'll be time for a little bittle shopping.

Aaaanywho... Window shopping results from Topshop.
