There, I said it. I'm a calorie slut. Seriously, I always eat things these days and never bat an at lid when I think about the calorie content. I was doing so well on my diet. Well, okay I sort of cracked half way through week two, but come on, it was banoffee!
I was out shopping yesterday and bought a few lovely goods (hoorray). Pictures to follow in due course, naturally! So, I ate in pizza express, yum. Which of course is fine, the Italians are skinny, so I figure if I eat Italian food I'll be alright, you know. That's the plan anyway. I however hate how I always seem to stop for a Starbucks, even if it's just a little too warm. I'll get a nice Caramel Macchiato, and if it's hot I'll get a frappuccino. Crap. Do you know how many calories there are in those things? Answer; far too many for a girl trying to fit into her trousers! Blegh.
Check out the Starbucks nutritional guide, although it should come with some sort of health warning as it could scare the hell out of you when you read what you're actually consuming! A grande Hazelnut Mocha works out at 334 calories (BOO!) and my favourite Caramel Macchiato (grande, of course, there's never enough in a tall) works out at 269 calories. I mean, I know I'm a calorie slut, but there's being a slut, and then there's being a fully certified whore!
So, you're probably wondering why I care so much. Well, this is why. The Net-a-Porter sale (for us non-US residents) ended yesterday, so the suspense was building and I felt as if I had to buy something. So, I remembered the Alexander Wang trousers that I've been eyeing up for quite some time now. Lo and behold, they had them in my size. I was in straight in there and out like a hitman, and now they're mine..
Now, I probably won't be able to breathe or function in them, but hey if they look good! I'm excited, oh, and I've been after J Brand skinny jeans for SO long now but they either don't stock them in my size, or the right colour, OR fit that I'm after. Boo. Browns recently sold out of my size, please re-stock, please!
Anyway, pictures of my other recent purchases shall be uploaded later. Now, off to work to earn myself some money. You know what? I fancy myself a little Starbucks. I know I know, but come on, it's cold outside..

They are FIT! Congrats on the bargain. Calories surprise me too, was eyeing up an M&S sandwich but it was 700 calories! Might as well get a Big Mac for that amount.
Hi SB!

I feel like I'm a 'calorie slut' too! If that's what you call them, hahaha. I count and make notice of how much I intake a day and if I go over. If I do go over, usually I get graustrated out. It's horrible!
