Hello everyone. Busy day for me (for a Saturday). We went to the mall and got hubby a tux and some dress shoes for me. He also got an Xbox 360 (uh oh) which he's playing with now. That's a lot of shopping for DH to do in one day. Here are the shoes I got:
http://www.endless.com/dp/B000OZZBGE?tag=yahoo-endless-20&linkCode=asn though I wish I'd gotten this price--they're even cheaper on Amazon so I might order them from Amazon and then return the current pair to DSW. The heel might be a little high with my bad ankle, but at least it's a thicker heel so I won't be tottering on stilettos.
Yesterday I took a rest day because of feeling sick and first day of TOM. I feel a bit better today, so I'm going to do yet another upper body workout. I noticed last night that my ankle is still a bit swollen; I'm really getting tired of this problem--3 weeks now!
Lori, I think it's very common for women to be uncomfortable being noticed and complimented. I do think I want people to notice my hard work and I crave compliments (though I don't have much to show for it yet) but I still feel weird if I do get any positive feedback and I'm almost always self-deprecating. It's even my favorite way to try to be funny--to make fun of myself (which is at least kinder than making fun of others).
Amelia, I saw you asked yesterday about Core. I do Core and now that I've done it awhile I prefer it to Flex because I tend to eat healthier overall and get my veggies and fruits in better with Core. I lost pretty well on Core, but lately I've stalled out (which you also mentioned). I've heard that it gets pretty hard to lose as you get closer to goal--not sure if it's being lazy and overconfident or some weird body chemistry thing--maybe a bit of both. I hate it when I've felt I've had a good week and I lose 0.2 or even gain a little. I have lost hardly anything the last couple months, but I did measure and lost an inch or so here and there so I guess something's happening. I also find it embarrassing that I don't look like someone who works out hard 5-6 days a week. I guess some of you may have seen that thread on the Open forum recently. I also wrote about it on my blog a bit.
Hello to Belinda, Cathy and any who follow me today. I might be on later to chat more. For now I'd better go do that upper body workout, which today will be everything but the lower body of Amy Bento's
All Pump.
