The red ones win by a landslide. The bow shoes turned out to be more taupe than white and not only were they too big, but the pointy toe was eerily long and beak like. No thanks.
I’m going to keep looking for a white pair to possibly wear at the ceremony, but I’m definitely wearing the red ones to the reception! They fit perfectly, are completely comfortable and are totally sassy.
Speaking of fit, I love how no matter what you weigh, shoes always fit. I used my period as an excuse to slack off a little on my healthy eating plan and I swear I feel a difference after just a few days. Note to self: lay off the Cadbury mini eggs. It didn’t help that our intern brought in amazing chocolate chip cookies today. I only ate half of one.
So far.
In an effort to get myself back on track, I’m enlisting all of you. I need some new yummy yet healthy dinner ideas. Give me some!
Here’s to a happy (and healthy) weekend.

New to this
It is funny you should say that because my feet have actually shrunk half a size in the last couple years! I have lost some weight but I didn’t think drastic enough to cause such a feet shrinking. I guess we’ll never know…
As for healthy dinner ideas- I am sure you already check this site out daily but I am trying this recipe out tonight: http://www.hungry-girl.com/chew/chewdetails.php?isid=1237
Have a good weekend and thanks for keeping me entertained!

I know it sounds stupid, but I drink Slim Fast in the mornings. It works. Shrug.
PS Love, love, love that you chose red.

Glad that the shoes fit and were perfect…They are so cute! And yes, I agree about the shoes…you can always wear the same shoes! It’s great!

Do you like eggplant? If so, buy a nice pretty round one, slice it into a bunch of circles (1/4-1/2 in thick depending on your preference), brush on a little olive oil, then some marinara, a little reduced or fat-free cheese and some healthy toppings and you’ve got a tasty, and healthy little eggplant pizzette! Super easy, and it looks and tastes much more gourmet than it really is

I was JUST saying yesterday how great it is that no matter how fat/skinny I am, my feet stay the same size. And I LOVE the red shoes.
There is a GREAT recipe/nutrition book called “Eating for Life” and I’ve been LOVING the recipes. They are easy (take like 25 minutes most of the time) balanced, and yummy! PLUS it has healthy dessert recipes!

Those are GORGEOUS. Someday we’re going to have to arrange to go shoe shopping together, because, for serious, woman! I pulled out my summer shoes the other day and found the superman shoes! Have a great weekend!

My fave thing to eat:
In minimal olive oil, stir fry: snow peas, sliced mushrooms, red peppers.
Then get some tortilla wraps (they come in healthy varieties like flax seed… make sure to choose one with lower sat fat) and shredded cheese. Put the stir fry and cheese onto half of the wrap, fold in half, grill in oven until the cheese melts.
Then dip in salsa and eat!

I love the website http://www.sparkrecipes.com. Some of the recipes are lame, but there are a ton of really good, healthy, EASY recipes. I especially love the 20 minute Chicken Creole recipe here: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=5. I serve it with spanish rice, personally.
And it makes great leftovers for lunch the next day!

LOVE the red shoes. Red always wins (in my book at least).
Healthy dinner recipes? I tend to make stuff up as I go but… nothing like a veggie stir fry over brown rice. Yum.

I love the red shoes as well. How fun!! Good choice.
And I have 2 suggestions for yummy food. One is http://www.eatingwell.com I LU-HUVVV this site and find MANY a dinner options here. And well, it promotes eating well (aka healthy). Who’d a thunk? (FYI-they also have a magazine!)
And my personal favorite side dish is easy and delish! Fry pan, garlic sauted in a small amount of olive oil (i love garlic, I use lots), bag of frozen veggies (my fav is a 3 green bean mix w/ or w/o carrots) and a dash of salt and red pepper flakes (both to taste of course). Saute til veggies are done to your liking. Oh, man. YUMMY! Good for you, health and taste wise!! Enjoy.

I made turkey chili the other night, and it was awesome! Just take lean ground turkey breast, an onion, a package of McCormick’s Chili seasoning, Mexican stewed tomatoes, kidney beans, mix together and voila. Amazing chili that’s healthy too - as long as you don’t go crazy with the cheese.
Another yummy idea. Take tilapia filets (or any other fish you like), brush with a little EVOO, sprinkle with lemon pepper, and broil. Then you can also broil some fresh asparagus and make couscous with veggies (mushrooms, olives, onions, lemon juice, etc). It’s quick and easy, and I’m sure it’s pretty healthy.
Yay for going with the red shoes. Very snazzy and fun!

LOVE these. Enjoy them and to heck with white ones at your ceremony. Live. It. Up!

We’re pretty basic in our house with dinners. Lots of baked chicken and fish with roasted or steamed veggies. Two veggies I’m never with out, asparagus and butternut sqaush. Both are great roasted with just a little bit of olive oil, sea salt, and pepper.
Love the shoes!

love these shoes….
I am a huge salad person and like to just dump a bunch of veggies in a bowl and top with a dressing like annie’s naturals shitake sesame (so good).
grilled veggies are also great to top your salad (change things up a bit). i eat a lot of couscous with grilled veggies as well (you can just make em on the foreman - so easy). oh and eating well? great recipes.

I would just like to say that I am very very glad the bow shoes didn’t work. I may have been willing that to happen

recently i like the frozen stir fry vegetables (i like the snow peas one the best). put it in a big frying pan for 7 minutes, add some garlic salt and soy sauce at the end. it fills up a bowl and will fill you up. and it only cost like 2 bucks!

The Pioneer Woman (thepioneerwomancooks.com) has a salad recipe up right now that looks absolutely delicious, and it has a ton of veggies in it. I haven’t made it yet, but I definitely will soon because it looks really good.

love the shoes! A dinner I love is a whole wheat tortilla with black beans and mashed sweet potato (and maybe some chicken). Together with some rice it is easy and delicious (and healthy),

LOVE the red shoes. Love love love. SO glad they fit well and look good! Don’t forget to wear them a couple of times before the big day!
My favorite healthy thing (always) is to make a salad with whatever kind of greens (if I’m in a hurry, just the bagged stuff works fine), tomatoes, avocado (healthy fat), mushrooms, green onion, and whatever other veggie looks good. Then I heat up a veggie burger patty (GardenBurger, yum!) in the microwave, cut it up and sprinkle it on top, with homemade healthy dressing– SO good. Mmmm

Love the red shoes! So cute and fun.
And as for healthy dinner I love a good salad with chicken and corn tossed in. It’s fabulous.

Those are some sexy shoes!

It says so much about you that you chose red shoes! Awesome!
My sister went barefoot during the ceremony, because the shoes were too big. And the preacher even said something during the ceremony.
Anyway, Hi! I’m glad you’re still here. (It’s been a crazy week!)

When I was doing the bride diet/healthy lifestyle change 2 1/2 years ago, I lived on whole wheat tortillas with sliced turkey, hummus and loads of vegetables, I ate lots of yogurt with fruit and just a sprinkle of granola, and for dinners I loved eating stir-fry with chicken, veggies and rice or a southwest salad with blackbeans, tomatoes, corn, chicken, avacado and salsa. I lost about ten pounds and have kept them off. Except, now I’m newly pregnant so thats kind of out the door! Happy meal planning. My only last little piece of advice is to find a few low calorie treats to reward yourself. Mine were fudgecicles; they were satisfying without the guilt!

have to tell you — i was at macy*s the other day, and they have these shoes (if they’re the NW ones), in black at 40% off (just in case you needed another pair : )
