Today I loved my body
I wore a fitted light green tank (with built in shelf bra) and my grey vollyball shorts (yes, the ones from the pictures)... it was the very first time I have ever worn those shorts out in public... much less in the gym... and it was upper body day in Bootcamp... and it was VERY weights focused (some weeks are more interval/cardio focused with some weights thrown in... this was the exact oposite... all weights with a few brief cardio bursts thrown in). My arms fucking ROCK... there was definition in my biceps and triceps and that happy little teardrop muscle that caps the top of your shoulder... and when doing standing shoulder presses my back flares out behind my boobs and I can only IMAGINE what it must look like from behind because it sure makes my waist and hips look narrow from the front! (hooray for triangles!) My legs FELT slim and muscular, and my stomach FINALLY didn't feel bloated and fat. I kept my abs TIGHT thru the whole thing... did my plate crunches with a 25 POUND plate and damnit if I didn't feel like a rockstar... now if only my hair would cooperate. ;)
Yeah yeah yeah... pictures will come once I get back under 150... promise.
EDITED TO ADD:
1. Clean kitchen last night.
2. Clean eating except for the 1/2 kk donut today, not worried about it.
3. Boot Camp rocked
4. Not sure what to do on this one yet... he works tonight, but we'll see.
5. Subscribed to Midwifery Today.

I can really relate to your feelings as expressed in your previous writing about not being really heard by people who are not yet ready for the information or level of awareness or sophistication. As you get older you will have more patience and try to discern where hse is coming from and only share with them what you think will give them the incentive to be curious about your direction and less fearful about moving into that direction. It is very important to make a heart to heart connection with someone before moving into the informational sphere. People are not stupid, they are just limited and incomplete.

I want your body.
But not in a gay way.
(and before I get flamed, I'm paraphrasing a season one Surivivor contender)

Have you seen Krista's (www.stumptuous.com) July rant? Next time people ask for advice, you can just print that and let them read it.

Rock on my little rockstar! :)
I just LOVE those days when everything clicks and I feel AWESOME!
Can't help with the hair issue. I have enough problems in that department myself.
