Shopping is My Cardio

on April 25, 2009

I’m glad I gave 1/2 my lunch wrap to the Husband because not 10 minutes after I posted, there was a knock at the door and this was delivered:

An edible bouquet from my BFF Sarah! She knows me SO well. I had a few pieces of fruit and several of these chocolate strawberries:

I also made a little fruit and Chobani mix with a few raw cashews.

Look Ma! NO GRANOLA! 🙂 Didn’t even miss it.

After my snack, I took the doggies on a 1/2 mile walk, and then Idecided to take some of the birthday money my mom gave me and attack the mall! Mid-shopping fuel was a skinny vanilla frap:

Walls of colorful Old Navy flip flops make me happy!

My purchases includes a flow-y top:

And new sandals:

Thanks, Mom! Great gifts! 🙂 Post-shopping fuel (I bet I walked another mile!) was a salty and sweet Mojo Mountain Mix Bar:

Plus a few fruits from my edible bouquet! :) What a great gift.

Plans for tonight include lakeside dining in downtown Orlando! I hope you have an excellent night as well. 🙂

What’s your biggest food temptation at the mall? I have SO much trouble walking past Auntie Anne’s pretzel every time.

Great gifts you’ve gotten so far! Hard to resist foods…I love those pretzels and Cinnabons, too, but I haven’t had a Cinnabon in YEARS! Have fun tonight.

I love the top and sandals!! I have been meaning to buy a flowy top 🙂

Biggest mall temptation? Cinnabon…and Ive never even had one before! That or Pretzlemaker. I used to get one every time I went to the mall when I was a teenager.

Edible bouquets are the best! Healthy and fun!! Shopping and wallet workouts are my favorite form of exercise as well 🙂

Don’t you LOVE the wall of flip flops at Old navy? Makes me so happy 🙂

My weakness is ice cream. Every time! Dairy Queen kills me! So do Chik-Fil-A’s milkshakes…SO yummy!

I always crave a cinnabon or pretzel, strongest smells I guess!
Cute buys, I’m dying to go shopping!

I saw a commercial for Edible Arrangements today! One of their stores took over my favorite video rental place, but I can forgive them for the chocolate covered strawbs.

That’s my favorite MOJO! And COLDSTONE is my mall weakness 🙂

YAY for the Sex and the City quote! 🙂

Wow, I want one of those fruit bouquets! How cool!

Any ice cream or fro yo place – I literally stand a few yards back from the counter for 10 min. debating with myself….often getting a few stares from other shoppers.
Brandi April 25, 2009, 7:14 pm
shopping + icy coffees are the best afternoons 🙂

all the pretzel places are the hardest for me too! I think because it just SMELLS SO good when you walk by.

happy early birthday!

I love Auntie Anne’s pretzels! But my weakness is cold stone ice cream!! Cake batter with cookie dough! YUM!
Leanne April 25, 2009, 7:58 pm
Those fudge places!

love the sandals!

my mall weakness is starbucks or jamba juice!
It's not that these are super unhealthy but I can make coffee and smoothies at home right? oh and I save like $5 at least 🙂

Looks like you’re having a fabulous bday!

Gotta say that I agree on the mall temptation–that lovely pretzel aroma wafts into every store!

I have always wanted one of those edible deliveries! How fun!
It’s been a while since I’ve been at a mall with an Orange Julius stand, but those are a total weakness!
