New Obsession - Jennifer Meyer











I am obsessed. If I had an extra $3k... some of these items would be mine.

Dieting

I work out almost everyday, but I tend to like candy, wine, margaritas and going out for drinks with a side of french fries. In my 20's this was a no problemo, but not anymore. Everything adds up... So here are my tricks.
1) I eat Lean Cuisine almost everyday for lunch and dinner (if I don't go out).
2) I also eat a lot of Cheerios or Smart Start with fruit (buy a bag of frozen blueberries/raspberries and warm them up in the microwave. Not only is it cheaper... it lasts so much longer).
3) Craving salt? Make popcorn. Not microwave. Go to your local Walmart/Target and look in the way back and get yourself an air popper from the 80s. Buy your own kernels and use organic butter/sea salt (if you need it). Additionally, I am obsessed with those new pretzel crisps and hummus. It is so addicting.
4) Margaritas are now Skinny Girl (yes, that one by Bethanny Frankel). They are actually really good. I tend to throw mine in a blender... Secret? Take those frozen raspberries for your cereal and throw them in the blender and TA-DA. Raspberry Margs....
5) Wine... Just drink it. Don't know how to make that better!
6) Hard boiled eggs and Yoplait Whips in Key Lime and Orange Creme are your friends. The eggs fill if you are starving and need a quick fix and the whips are like a desert.
7) I try and work out for at least 30 mins everyday. Some days more serious than others. It all works out in the wash.
8) Fortunately, I am not a huge chocolate fan, but I love sugar: Sour Patch, Gummies, Sweetarts, Sprees... I can eat my weight in candy. Get lifesavers or tic tacs (in orange) instead. Way less sugar than downing a large bag of Swedish Fish.
9) Small original Pinkberry with raspberries has saved me every time I want Cold Stone.
10) Skim milk always.
11) Spray butter: I Can't Believe Its Not Butter. For your english muffin/toast cravings.


I have plenty more... but if you know of something that works and would help me or others - please share!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. Mine, so far, has been excellent. I have been kind of busy, so I haven't been writing a ton.

A few weeks ago I went to NYC for he night. It was pretty last minute and fun. I got a great deal on a hotel room at Smythe in Tribecca off of Gilt. I drove into the city and spent a day lunching, shopping and having qt with a friend. We also got to dress up (bought this cute dress from Tibi) and go to Beauty & Essex for dinner & drinks. It was a short trip, but it was indeed sweet.


I have been spending a lot of time at my building pool and gyming it. I have been working on my motivation level, but I think I finally have got back the wanting to work out more desire.  I used to enjoy it, but it kind off fell by the wayside when I got sidetracked with the new pup and new people in my life. I think I am back on the plan though.

I am so stoopid

I erroneously called Jason Bateman "David" and I knew it was Jason. Thankfully, I read it again and realized  I called him David! If you knew me personally, you would laugh cause I am so bad at names. Just call me, Dumbo.

I kind of love him

My crush on Jason Sudeikis continues... I don't know why I am little obsessed with him right now. I think he is the perfect example why making me laugh is way more attractive then being hot. Even though, I still think he is pretty darn cute. I can't wait to see Horrible Bosses. Jason and David Batemen = Awesome. Speaking of that, I find David Bateman pretty excellent too. What show was he on back in the 80s? Natalie or something like that? Anyway, pics of my future husband below.
