There was this in-house detective who was so obviously tailing me. Every time I turned around, he would pretend to look at an item on the shelves. I'm not sure what he thought I would be stealing. I only had a small LV pochette (with long strap attached) slung crossbody. My little pochette is so small that it can barely contain money and my phone. In one hand, I was carrying a basket (see through so you can see exactly what I had put inside it) and I was wearing clothes with no pockets so why he was following me, I have no idea! I think it was because there was no one else to tail.
Hubs had called me several times the whole morning to tease me (like OMG was I still shopping etc) I finally managed to convince hubs to swing by Mustafa for a while to look at some white T-shirts I had intended to buy for him. I wasn't sure if they'd fit as I wasn't allowed to open the packaging and the sales man had scolded me for trying to open it despite my telling him that he didn't have any size samples available. Anyway, we walked together for a bit and then we left. If he hadn't met up with me, I would have continued browsing/shopping! I really enjoyed walking the usually congested Mustafa Shopping Centre so early in the morning because there was no crowd. Just when we left at about noon, I realised the maddening crowd had begun to thicken. Yikes! Mustafa during peak periods is an absolute no-no!
Anyhoo, before I reached home, I hopped across to the mall across our place to do some grocery shopping. Had to make a pee stop at the public loo first and that's when I caught myself in the full length mirror. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I could see a drastic difference in the shape of my whole body. My shirt and tights clung to my body and I wasn't opposed to the curves being emphasized. I wish I had taken a picture of what I looked like but I didn't want to come across as being crazy; taking a selfie in the public restroom! So, I took another pic yesterday (Sunday) in a changing room! Not exactly in the same outfit as Saturday's but close enough:

Ok, still looking not-thin but it's the first time I can wear tights without a blouse that's long enough to cover my crotch area. Usually, I'd have to wear a long blouse otherwise the crotch area would look well, unsightly. My daughter said that the change in my body shape was evident (but not so in my face). I am not even close to having a lean body. But, the current body shape is not too shabby, even if I do say so myself.
It's easier for me to stick to healthy eating and my exercise regime on weekdays rather than on weekends. Should be the reverse, right? If I stay at home during the weekends, I should be able to control what I put in my mouth and my exercise schedule, right? Wrong. Weekends are for family and housework. Because I have to cook for the family, I also tend to eat what they are eating. But I'll play diet catch up now that it's Monday. I have bought a lot of salad for the next few nights and that's what I hope to be eating this whole week!
