The Way You Make me Feel....

I was going to be very alliterative and title this “Blank Blog.” And then I would just leave it blank for today.

:)

Instead, I made myself come up with another brilliant song title for today. “The Way You Make Me Feel.” Yeah. I gotta say this: I am gonna love skin brushing. It definitely helped my day get started. And I believe that the hair-removal cream worked really well for my upper thighs. They are smooth and not showing signs of irritation yet. The brushing helps. And I loved that Castile soap. I think it made a difference. I'll let you know again in a week, after steady use.

Today, because it is so late and I have had a million distractions, I will simply let you know that I maintained. I didn't set any records.

I brushed my skin this morning.

I danced for forty-five minutes to Michael Jackson's Greatest Hits (in lieu of walking three miles in the dark), doing my best to keep it interesting. I did sit ups, leg lifts, lunges, squats, donkey kicks, and those backwards push-ups for the buttocks (my cheerleader-daughter showed me them). I stretched out again, inching my way closer to the splits.

I drank water, but I still caved and had two coffees this morning. Regarding my migraine – the cause is the cure, you know?

I ate a strange combination of gluten-free rice crispy treats, peanut-butter gluten-free waffles, and blue corn-chips with salsa. It wasn't my most efficient way to spend calories. I can see that stress affects my eating.

Tomorrow is when I will take measurements and get an official “before” picture. You will only get to see it at the end when I have a beautiful “after” picture to show you as well.

Meanwhile, this is going to be taxing. Not only am I adding a couple hours of stuff to do with my daily tasks of beautifying, but I am also committed to blogging it. I have the full-time mom-gig, and the J.O.B. to consider...  Tonight I shared my dance routine with my two youngest kids while their older sisters were at dance classes of their own.  Then I drove all around my state to pick them up at various times, after driving around the state to drop them off. What I'm saying is I am completely sympathetic to a busy woman's life regarding getting in shape.

I can see how some of these things will get easier and not feel like such an intrusion on my day once I get used to them. I hope... soon.

Cheers to Beauteous Bottoms! Tomorrow, I will do this all over again, and discuss the look of beauty throughout history, and in different regions. Of course, this will all take place in a bloggishly-brief sort of way...
