Day 20:

< ... >

• All Dolled Up: Will post a pic of this later, before we go out tonite 

Posting now cuz didn't get a chance to last night...

So we went to a friend's 20th wedding anniversary party last night. It was held at club and had a "Disco" theme. I would normally not wear this type of outfit, but I figured wth, I'll go for it. Plus, it was only $25 on sale, so yeah. Let me tell you, I felt like a million bucks, despite the fact that the Kid said I looked naked.

(Couldn't decide between the stand-at-attention pose, or the 'tude pose, so I posted both )

Day 21

• Got up super early this morning to go for a 10k walk/run with Mr. before it got too hot. Came back home and did my sets of the Toned and Sleek Arm Challenges. Now I'm relaxing on the couch with my laptop and coffee watching an episode of JAMIE'S 30 MINUTE MEALS (he's making sea bass w/ crispy pancetta..yum)
• Happiness: I have been feeing the Happiness often these days. So sitting on the couch with my laptop and coffee, watching a cooking show after some satisfying exercise. Life is good:

Update, I'm maintaining under 130 & have walked at least a mile 16 out of 19 days this month. I'm just going to accept I'm not going to get around to the arm exercises, although I really, really should.

Day 18 - Shoes

Just got these 😍

♥️

Btw your calf in the white shoes pic is lookin' TONED.

TEAM CHECK IN: HOW ARE OUR ARMS DOING?

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Honestly, I don't see a difference. I'm just going to believe they ARE getting firmer, and I can't see them because of my loose arm skin. Right? Right??!?!?

Check in on arms: I am working on strength. I feel like I just have crummy upper body strength. Some exercises are getting easier but some of them remain a challenge for me. I’ve been “shooting hoops” in my driveway for extra arm work, it really is a decent workout. I played basketball in high school and it is how I used to relax and clear my mind.

I do get a little self conscious hoping the neighborhood kids aren’t laughing at the old lady playing ball. I get over it pretty quickly when I realize they could care less who I am or what I do!

Pictures:

All dolled up. No photo. Last night was the opposite of that, sweat shorts and comfy t-shirt.

Happiness: So many to choose from this year alone. I’ll think about this one a bit.

Skin does takes time to retract. Working on the muscles and tissues below will help to an extent.

I played basketball with my 20 year old son this afternoon, that was a workout!

I am kind of crabby today for absolutely no reason. I’ll go take a walk that usually clears my head.

I was hanging out in the backyard and thinking, what can I take a picture of that’s orange for today. I looked down and voila! I snapped this picture.

If I can ever rock a jumpsuit 1/2 as well as you do....I will be a very happy woman!

Awesome job..awesome outfit

Sigh...I'm going to take my body out to the pool and work on my arms and legs..(1 leg actually, the other knee is torn out so I'm limited as to what it can do).

I'm in funky mood. There are leftovers from eating out that my family has piled in the fridge and I'm on pre-op..but it has never bothered me until today. Long story, but basically I've been thru 2 rounds of pre-op dieting..

This 2nd time is so much harder! I actually had a strong impulse to open one of the to go containers so I shut the fridge door and I'm walking away. I'm going out to the pool as I don't know what is going on with my head.

Surgery is this Thursday and I refuse to mess this up. I have to stay strong.

I have a pic of 1 thing orange-ish..but will look for something better outside.

PS: I think I'm grumpy because eldest daughter is in town and I haven't gone with them out to restaurants as that is just too hard when I'm on the pre-op diet. So much of the socializing truly does revolve around restaurants..and I feel left out and lonely I think

Can you ask her to go out for coffee tomorrow or out for a walk tonight? It helps when you tell family you feel left out and why, I’m sure they want to help. My boys are all knuckle heads and they totally understand when I asked to change up plans.

Maybe today is crabby day.
