Happy National Doughnut Day?
{darlings, this doughnut day business does me no good}



Bathing suit weather is upon us....
and after celebrations and BBQs galore last weekend,
even my white skinny jeans are intimidating me.


 So, here's some much needed "thinspiration" from Uncle Karl!

What's motivating you this weekend?

  1. I don't know if I needed to know it is national donut day. Morning sickness is pretty much a thing of the past and while I am not yet up to my pre-pregnancy weight...I will be soon as every mention of food seems to cause a craving these days! Have a great weekend!

  2. Actually, I like this quote from Karl, it's hilarious and true at the same time. I love the picture above. It reminds me of the burgers at Hotel Costes in Paris. Have a nice day;-)

  3. That quote & ad are hysterical. I'll have to pass on the donut since it's bathing suit season.
    Have a lovely weekend!

  9. Who but Chanel could make McDonald's chic? SO not going for the donuts today!

  10. What's motivating me is having enough energy to DO everything that I want to in my days! I try to eat nutritiously in order to fuel my brain and body, both of which are going full-blast most of the time. No donuts for me today, although I love a good French cruller once in a blue moon! And I do love McD's fries, as well. Now, if Mr. KL could just get them to change the packaging....! Have a wonderful weekend!

  12. National donuts day? This will be a good day then, but no help with my eating healthy routine. oh well.

  13. I heard about National Doughnut Day on the news this morning - Krispy Kreme is handing out free doughnuts all day, I'll be surprised if there aren't hundreds of traffic jams alla cross the country! Chanel packaging for Big Macs and fries? Genius!

  14. Oh Uncle Karl, your always right...just what I needed to hear to kick it into gear...
    On my way to run my butt off at the gym :)

  15. I love your weekly Chanel shout out. So funny that it's national donut day lol

    Happy Friday!!!

  16. I think this quote is very true! I have a ton of weddings this year so that's some inspiration, to look good in my dresses.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I guess I'll be skipping the Big Mac for lunch today! Great to see this emotion (guilt) displayed so beautifully.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh my, must eat those {every day}.
    Wishing you a great weekend with lot and lots of sunshine! xx

  19. When I look at Karl lately I can't help but think that he took his own words to the extreme! I am trying to shed the 14 pounds I put on at the holidays.... Still... And the words that always help me through it is the old saying "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels".... I repeat this mantra over and over in my head while my boys eat their glazed donuts every week.... Hahahah

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hihi, love this quote!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Note to self most go on a diet! This quote is so cute! Happy Friday!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I totally did not need to know it's donut day... now I want one!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Mmm National Donut Day?? Diet starts Monday.. :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. yup, nothing like a good glazed donut! but I think i'll need to remember the quote instead! maybe I should post it on my fridge! : )

    ReplyDelete
  25. Seriously, I never thought Memorial Day could be so hazardous to my waistline. It's a little ridiculous.

    Happy Donut Day!

    Oh-my-goodness, I love that quotation! Sooo true, too. I'm on day three of the South Beach Diet right now; doing it with a friend so we can keep ourselves motivated. :) No carbs or sugar for the first two weeks is torturous, though!

  34. Great ad! I am going to do my best to ignore national donut day. Why couldn't it be in February?

    ReplyDelete
  35. I've been absent from the blog world for a couple of days and I'm enjoying catching up on all of your good stuff!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Just thought I would report that after dropping my daughter off for a playdate this AM and en route to a meeting I had to stop at a Dunkin Donuts.....where they happened to give me a free donut. Who knew.....thanks a heap for putting this idea in my pregnant brain!

    ReplyDelete
  37. GAH!!! that big mac and fries look DELICIOUS!

  38. Great quote :) I am feeling uninspired lately, so I am not sure what is motivating me! I think a good shopping trip to the mall might help...

  50. I need some motivation. This week has been a bad week for my healthy eating, swimsuit body ready progress. Le sigh.

  51. I went cold turkey on fast food, doughnuts etc about 15 years ago and don't miss them at all. All one has to do is break the addiction and then we are home free!
