Wow- there is quite a jump in expectation from Level 1. I am melting in a puddle of my own sweat. My heart is racing. I thought I was getting into decent shape. I guess I have no choice but to do that with Level 2. Walking pushups? Who knew?
Considering I want this to be what my body looks like, I guess I have to make some significant changes in my eating and exercise habits.
I am in two weddings this year (yay to Mel and Casey and also to Laurie and Shawn), and after a horrifying dress measurement fiasco (which was wrong but I am still traumatized) I have decided to kick my butt into shape. I want to feel strong. And I also want to be able to wear a bathing suit without shame and not ruin anyone’s wedding pictures. So I began running again yesterday (which I love) and I decided to switch it up a bit because I have never in my life had toned arms or abs.
Luckily Comcast On Demand has a bunch of workout videos you can do for free. I had heard a lot of things about the 30 Day Shred on a fitness board I frequent so I decided to give it a try. Ouch. Now, I am in horrendous shape at the moment so it completely kicked my butt. I am sweating profusely but I feel amazing. Between running and doing this shred thing, I hope to tone up significantly in the next two months.
Again, I am grossed out by feet (even my own.) I am slacking in the new things department.
Time: three seconds
Cost: about $12.00
Who knew this existed? My friends told me about it at brunch one day, so when I was at Sephora, I decided to give it a shot. LOVE IT! It is Oscar Blandi or something like that. I took a shower the night before and then used this in my hair in the morning. I looked like a million bucks, a real freaking supermodel. Please note that I do not condone using dry shampoo instead of showering. Don’t be gross.
I am a very plain person (some might say, “classic”) and I also hate feet. In addition to hating feet, I also really dislike nail polish in general. Just recently I have been wearing it on my toes but ONLY in very light, transparent colors OR sparkles (yes, I really am 30.) So I was getting my hair cut and I saw this and my eyes were dazzled:
I have no idea what possessed me to purchase this, but I did. It is more of a grey/silver with sparkle to it in person. So I put it on and I really don’t like it at all. Oh yeah, I only have it on my toes because I am so weird that I can’t stand to have any nailpolish on my fingers (not even clear.) I recognize this is very weird.
It is the grossest yet most satisfying thing ever. I had my suspicions that it wouldn’t work, but it definitely does. It is revolting when you open up the top and dump the old skin in the trash. It comes in pink for the same price (I think it was 10 bucks or so) but they donate some of the money to breast cancer research. Ewwww… go get this.
I know people hate this look, but I look great. PS- I live in Boston and it gets cold here. (Secret: I would wear Uggs even if it didn’t get cold.) I am wearing chestnut Uggs, a brown dress, and aqua tights with polka dots. I am sure it sounds horrifying.
Completely unwarranted. I have these shoes which are green with pink flowers on them. I was wearing said shoes with black pants and a green sweater. Apparently third graders don’t think this matches, and felt the need to tell me. I think pink and green are cute together, but I am no fashion plate. Speaking of fashion plates, anyone remember these?
Note: I got this from http://www.inthe80s.com/toys/fashionplates.shtml
I could play with these things for days.
I haven’t thought about this in years! I am super duper blonde (right now, you would notice that I have roots to my ears) but I had a pang of sadness for my old hair. At one point, I had this going:
Except mine had more blonde streaks in it. I would post a picture, but it was so long ago that I don’t have any on the computer! So folks, should I go red (it would be burgundy with no hilights) again or stick with the blonde?
In the spirit of my well dressed friend Brianna, I used her as an inspiration and bought some clothes that I thought she would like at Banana Republic. My new school is much more formal than my old one, so I needed to purchase some items to fit in dress-wise. I got some really cute stuff, but I won’t post pictures of it all. I feel like an adult!
