Bonus was, the walking to and from made room for a Negra Modelo and handful of chips in the calorie budget :)<br /> It started to rain on the way home . . . and not a moment after I walked in the front door the BF called saying he was out front of the Mexican joint to give me a ride home lol. He got a surprise break from work for a bit. Timing is everything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-myself-to-lunch#post-750186 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 16:22:16 +0000 catgirl 750186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love going to lunch by myself (or dinner or movies). I like your idea of getting out and getting dressed for yourself. Go girl! You need a YLF buddy who lives closer so you can get dressed to meet each other for lunch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-myself-to-lunch#post-749417 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:28:33 +0000 Mo 749417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, lucky me, it's supposed to be 79 tomorrow. Can't really believe it! Maybe I'll get a ride to the library in the morning from the BF, and then walk to lunch on the way home Might even be able to wear pants!<br /> And, yes, my sanity needs the break from sitting in this condo for too long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-myself-to-lunch#post-749407 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 19:10:24 +0000 Janet 749407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea! Even when I'm just planning on working my studio and not seeing anyone, I try to make it a point to walk to a coffee shop or somewhere inexpensive for lunch as often as I can. I tend to work in isolation, and sometimes I really need to get up and out and about to keep my motivation going. It also means I will most likely wear something I *want* to be seen in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-myself-to-lunch#post-748858 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 01:57:08 +0000 Anonymous 748858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, I also moved around with husbands job, leaving me unemployed or under employed. I don't really like the gym but I used to make myself do some kind of exercise, a walk something to get out. I also eventually volunteered, made me think less about how lonely I was...and the shopping budget was gone </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-myself-to-lunch#post-748513 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:47:03 +0000 Anonymous 748513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. Go for it. I actually made a date with myself every morning to go to Starbucks, back when I had to leave work due to being sick. I was going nuts, just being in the house all alone. I would get ready just to walk the three or four blocks, get my coffee, sit down to sip it, and walk back home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-myself-to-lunch#post-748488 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 15:33:10 +0000 Angie 748488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this idea </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/taking-myself-to-lunch#post-748255 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 04:18:31 +0000 Mo 748255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just now decided that if the weather does indeed change, and hold, I am going to walk to lunch once a week. There are 3 or 4 restaurants within a mile's walk and about 3 or 4 more within 2 miles. This will get me out of the house, give me reason to get dressed, and make my belly happy too ha ha.<br /> 3 months of playing dress up games inside have grown stale. And so has not wearing any layers, or any pants Supposedly tomorrow's 87 is the last we should see over 85, and I even spied a 79 in there so I have hopes of at least a crop jacket or light weight pant in the coming weeks.<br /> This will also hopefully help occupy and distract me, with my limited shopping plan in place. </p>
