I get really frustrated when people say "excercise more!" or "cut out sugar! soda! cookies!". What if you already eat pretty healthy, don't drink soda, don't eat sugar-y foods and stay away from "white carbs", no chips, no snacking, eat good portions and walk everywhere and excercise?

Anyhow, I try to keep work-day lunches under 400 calories with lot sof veggie-based soups and salads (so I can indulge more on weekends and go out to eat!). Work-night quick meals that have worked really well for me when I feel like I'm gaining a little weight are:
- Stirfry with lots of veggies. I add some brown rice if I want something more substantial
- High-fiber pasta with lots of veggies (...its more veggies with pasta than the other way around)
- Honestly, sometimes if I'm not super hungry I'll eat some 2% plain greek yogurt with blueberries or grapes in it
- I'll reduce portion size some more because it'll make my stomach shrink so I'll be less hungry next time and eat less in general

And as others have mentioned, be more conscious of what you're eating. I somehow had 5lbs creep up on me so I started calorie counting (I use a free app called "Lose It!"). It helped a lot

at the rockefeller store there's a great window display with a door and tons of letters piling in through the mail slot - adorable! spent too much money there today...as always.

Spending thanksgiving at my mom's and she always makes 4-6 ducks instead of a turkey.

has anyone tried their pumpkin ice cream yet? i saw it this week and was tempted but resisted. if its anything along the lines of the lemon triple ginger snap ice cream in terms of quality, i might pick some up

"dessine-moi un mouton" is a sentence from The Little Prince. I love that phrase as well.

Looks like the SATER sofa from ikea to me (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80119463). If it is, it's not very comfortable in my opinion but my BF loved it...
