26 degrees and rising?
Mood:

I'm not even moving and I think my butt is wet, gross. On the upside, it's sooo insanely beautiful outside my window is wide open and I can't even tell. My room is nice and warm. I even did some stuff outside today. Hopefully I'm going to have some energy this evening after the walk so I can pull some weeds in this little patch my mom left for me. I also need to do some stuff on Friday but if it's going to be THIS hot outside I may need to wait until evening.

Today was fun though, really low key. I did abs. Tried some new things but I'm not sure what's going to happen, I need to talk to the trainer, but that's next week. I'm really worried though because of my errrr... "loose skin" problem. I pulled my skin up a bit and my stomach looked so good, but otherwise, it's loose and it makes my stomach look gross. I have NO idea what to do about that, wait? Is there some cream I can use? I don't know if my skin is actually still shrinking or if that's it. I have NO clue. Both of my parents have pretty tight skin but then again, my dad is huge so the fat keeps it tight and my mom used to be skin and bones and now that she's bigger I assume whatever DID stretch through preagnancy filled out as well. So I can't rely on them for genetic profiling.

I mean that's what my doctor told me when I asked her. I guess maybe I just need to be patient, I have no clue. I wish I knew.

I'm still doing my usual workouts. Not as much cardio on account of the heat wave. I WILL try for 75 minutes today but I'm not sure I'll make it. I did interval training yesterday (35 minutes), that was fun. The time went by sssooo fast. I might do that today, 30 minutes regular biking, and 30 interval. I can't wait to get some new clothes though. Stuff that actually fits me. I wish I could go with Dea but our schedules are conflicting so we may not get to go for another 3 weeks. I don't mind, I STILL want to go with her so I hope she saves some mulah ;) Plus I can go with Red next weekend and pick up a few things. I need some new comfy shoes and a pair of thin light jeans (light in color ie. light blue, or light pink), a pair of capris (because the 2 pairs that I have don't fit me anymore), and a pair of the 3/4 pants, because again, the ones I have don't really fit me anymore.

Plus the usual, some nice summer tops, and maybe a dress or something (yeah I can't believe I just said that... the last time I wore a dress was... gee lets see, grad? Hehehe.) I like dresses though, it's not my fault I have a mutant body. I look horrible in dresses.

One last thing on my list is to order this nice set of earrings I found on the shopping channel website. It's a set of 3 stud earrings from their "Diamondelle" collection. I think they're all on average 1.5 carats in size but include a princess cut, a classic round cut and a pear shape cut (my fave, but not as versatile as round). Anyway, the beautiful thing is: all 3 sterling silver pairs cost 36 bux, Canadian. And my style sense tells me that since hoop earrings are out, and "long droopy" earrings are out, the style for summer is non-dangly studs.

I love bargain hunting.
