I had tocatch up on sleep today, so did not work out.






Still on track to get four workouts in this week, if I do Saturday. No problem






Some inspiration from some 55 year old women ... CRAZY!

Free Day




Traveling today, so no working out.






Will kill it tomorrow, though.






Found some new inspiration. Nicole Murphy! Everything she wears looks amazing!

It HAS to be tailored to fit her, because I've never seen clothes like this on any runway or any catalog, and she's TINY!!!

I've never seen a prairie skirt look this good!!!

I've never seen a simple white tank dress look like this, either!!!


Not to mention a Khaki dress!!! I love them, but they never look like this on the runway, catalog or rack.
Looking forward to tailoring!! This makes a HUGE difference!!!
WOW!!

Update






I am pretty sore today, knees, hips, delts.

Reasonably sore. I'll take it as a sign of good, challenging workouts. (I don't need no stinking trainer). Also, the additional water is having somewhat of an effect. I need to continue/step that up. I kinda feel like I don't want to exercise today, but since I'm traveling tomorrow, it's easier to take THAT as a rest day.

For inspiration today, I'm looking for fit people with flat tummies and non-skinny legs. I can't relate to skinny legs. Also, even though my friend's bikini was my inspiration, I doubt I'll be flashing that much skin on a regular basis. But I will be rocking athletic wear and cargos/jeans with tees.

THANKS Cousin Mildred for the tips on salads and water!!









I hope I don't regret not losing this weight sooner... Naah, I won't. Not a flashy dresser, at any age.




Random - aww cute baby Beyonce. I heart her (go Third Ward, Texas girls) But she wears her clothes too tight to inspire meee!


I'm noticeably sore today.






But mostly in a good way. I'll take that as a sign of reasonably challenging workouts.






For inspiration, I am looking for photos of folks who are fit (flat tummies) but who don't have skinny legs. I never had skinny legs, even at my scrawniest. I can't relate to clothes on skinny legged-folks.






Also, even though my friend's bikini tummy was the inspiration, I'll most likely not be wearing too many bikinis. but I will be wearing jeans/cargos and tees.

Lustworthy clothes



OK, I had an awesome workout, endorphin aftereffects lasted a good long time.




I found some lovely inspiration in the form of some dresses from Anthropologie!!!




I haven't loved dresses like these in a while!!!

AM thoughts

I was looking for inspiration today, and I always like the dresses Nicole Kidman wears, the ladylike, cap-sleeved cute dresses. Could not find any such pictures, but I did find THIS:

dun-dun-DUNNNNN!!!

I had forgotten what she used to look like!! How weird! all that money and THIS is the plastic surgery she gets? The rest of us have NO hope! Why is the forehead so wide?

Oh well. I am pleasantly sore from yesterday's workout and need to focus on pushing it today.

More motivation


I am obsessed with cargo pants. I would love to look like this in them!!!
Of course, I would wear a full length tshirt!!! LOL

Good start to the day.

Awesome workout today. Worked out from 5:45 to 7:am... cardio and weights.

I feel so energized right now!!! Cleaning up, working from home, bouncing around to the music.

By comparison, the way I normally feel could accurately be described as a "depressed zombie."

Why do I *ever* slack off on working out?

Please, self, remember this feeling.

5:36 pm - update - I was bouncy all day long! Energy was GREAT!

Talked to Cuz Mildred and was given two tips:
  • a salad every day
  • drink more WATER
And I KNOW these work. Now to make it happen!

More motivation



I had a dream about a white bikini. That's the color I want!!!




Just to visualize my goal...


And I like this suit, but I would probably like a ruffly top better

Motivation

OK,basically Nordstrom's whole lingerie section makes me want to spend all day in the plank position!!!


Let me get my apples and water to take to work (sigh).
