Well, I'm terrible at Math, but I believe I'm 45 days into the program now, which means I'm halfway through it! Then who knows waht I will do, but I will have to find a way to keep my body active so I don't regain the weight. I notice my legs are starting to get thinner and more muscular, but the butt and thighs are still there... and that little "pooch" just below my belly button doesn't want to budge, either. It may be with me for the rest of my life?
Tonight's workout was Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps. Have I mentioned that I HATE pushups? 'Cause I do. Man oh man, this workout has sooo many pushups. I was super weak, yet again, probably because I have not had any protein shakes today. We are officially out of protein but will buy some tomorrow, as it is Gold Card week at GNC and you save 20%, which is a lot considering the price of the protein. In addition to the chest/shoulders/triceps workout, I had to do Ab Ripper X as well. That's become like second nature to me, because I do it so often. I like Ab Ripper X. It's over in 16 minutes :)
Other news... Today, my daughter and I went shopping for Easter dresses. I let her pick out her dress this year, and she kind of surprised me by her 3 choices. We had to narrow it down to one. She had picked a frilly pink dress, which really isn't her style, as well as a sparkly turquoise dress (gorgeous), and then a floral dress with blues and purples. She went with the floral dress. I was surprised because all along she ooh'ed and ahh'ed over the flashy turqoise dress. She said the floral dress was more "Easter'y". I guess that does make sense! I had picked out a beautiful dress in the store circular, but once we got to the store, it was nowhere to be found. So I did something very brave; I let my daughter choose some dresses for me to try on. I tried on three, and of the three, she liked a blue floral one the best. It has a ruffle and everything. Definitely not a dress I would have picked for myself, but it is very pretty. I just hope I don't regret the choice later. I have tried it on a couple of times, and each time I have a different reaction. I either love it or hate it. I either feel ultra-feminine and flirty in it, or I feel like Grandma's curtains. Hmmm.
I also got a haircut today. I went into the salon not having a clue as to what I wanted, other than the fact that I wanted all the scraggly stuff cut off. The young girl who cut my hair was very helpful and I picked a style out of a book. She copied it to a "T". I now have side swept bangs and a much shorter length. It's to my shoulders, with long layers. It's cute. I still want to grow it out long, but I want to do it right; I want it to be nice and healthy. So this go 'round I'll be sure to have it trimmed every 6 weeks. Since getting my hair cut, I feel a little chubbier, just because it kind of changed the proportions of my face and makes my belly/butt/thighs look bigger, at least in my mind. I always thought the longer hair kinda hid my fat. Mabye that was all in my head too. Ha.
