Well, here's another random post, Thursday edition.
1) So I was feeling pretty inspired from Lorie and was thinking how great it'll be when I can post some tangible photo progress. While we're all waiting for that, I thought I'd post a mini-development picture. And I do mean mini. Behold the arm definition:
What? You don't see it? Lemme help you out.
Oddly, I have three perfectly aligned freckles on this part of my arm. I hadn't noticed that until I looked at these pictures. Do you see them? Ok, good. Now look a little to the left of the one on the bottom. ...a little mooore...THERE! See it? The itty bitty concave-ness?
No?
Try backing up from your computer screen about 10 inches.
Do you see it now?
Well it IS there. It's just hard to take a picture of your own arm at that angle.
2) If any of you are wondering where Molly went she's off on another mini-vacay with her family. This time though she's going to try to post from her destination (that would be a sister-in-law's house). We'll see.
3) Considering recent motivational lags, I am determined to actually lose weight before weigh-in tomorrow. And so I thought I'd share my latest pass-up. We went out last night for treats with some friends of ours, and I didn't eat this (Note: as I was looking at that picture I found myself wanting one reeeally bad so I decided to just put the blurry version in to give you the idea of and ice-cream cookie sandwich. I surely don't want to induce cravings in any of our readers!):

For the record...I totally see it! AND I didn't have to back up, or squint, or anything. It's just THERE, girlfriend!
Way to go. ;)
i can definitely see it! go girl!
and about my blog pic of the girl running, i cracked up. i can't decide what that girl is doing. maybe she' meditating and running at the same time? or maybe she's getting a nap in? wouldn't that be great if we could nap and our body could just do the work. haha
p.s. what are the arm exercises you do??
I think you have very pretty arms. No wait, I mean very tough and strong arms. Sorry if I nagged you into that post. And that's very considerate about the ice cream. thank you.
I DO see the definition, congrats! And thanks for the blurry pic, no cravings for this girl!
Good for you for posting some progress pics. I haven't done that yet because I've been waiting for some "major" difference to show people, but I guess I don't have to. Okay, you've inspired me to take some after pics for next weeks weigh in.
BTW, that is cool you take pics of foods you passed on. Later on it would be interesting to do a collage of those foods.
Lacy, really? thanks!
Kelly, thanks.
The girl on your page is definitely cute. As far as arm exercises, nothing fancy Bicep curls, flies, rows (don't know official term). And of course, good ol' pushups!
Randi, no need for apologies, I'm glad you left that part of your comment, got me thinking...
And your welcome!It almost killed me to put such a blurry horrible picture up there.
Anne, thanks! I loved those gummy pictures you had up the other day, not to the point of craving inducing just funny.
Stephanie, You totally need to post progress pics! I think it's good to celebrate the little differences even if it's just for some validation that YES! Our body IS in fact changing.
Oh, and Stephanie, I think a collage would actually be pretty cool. Maybe In between a before and after pic. lol!
Definitely, you can see the arm definition--way to go!
And you're making me feel guilty about the cupcake banner at the top of my blog--but there's no way I'm going to be nice like you and blur it.
But thanks for sparing me the ice cream sandwich!
By the way, for some reason your word verification today decided to be about 27 characters long. I always mess up at least one of them and have to do it over! I need a younger brain.
Yep,
It's there. I think everyone who read this post looked down at their own arms to see if there was any "concaveness." Am I right?
How many pushups? (Or is that getting too personal :-)
I can definitely see the definition in your arms. Yay for defined arms. I read up somewhere that arms are the one part of your body that you can whip into shape pretty fast. (it was in a bridal mag, i think). Thanks for visiting the blog. I've got you bookmarked as well. It's nice to know someone other than myself is on the journey to a size 6.
I can totally see it! I saw it even before you started explaining where it was! AWE-SOME!

Crabby, You MUSN'T change your cupcakes! I love them. And I've gotten so used to them they don't really leave me wanting one...usually.
Amy, I do pushups in my weights class. The number kind of just depends. Usually when we do them it's something like 2 or 3 sets of 16. But if we've done bicep curls before that, sometimes she'll break it up into 3 sets of 8. (btw, these are the "toe" ones, not the knee ones) When I do them at home I just go until I'm shaking. Then do one more set.
Amber, ooo, I didn't know you were also questing for the size 6! Fabulous!
Jessica, I actually thought of you "collarbone" post when I was taking this picture...and thanks! I guess the definition was a little more visible than I thought. When I showed my husband, he innocently said, "Wait...Where?...oh yeahhhh, that's cute, I do see it."
Kates,
I see it!! I am so proud of you and Molly! I just spent forever reading your blog and feel motivated to do better! (I didn't stop for a snack when I was in the kitchen last time, so we're making progress!) Anyway, you two are totally amazing. Good work to both of you!
Em
Emmy! Thanks for coming by! Good luck with your efforts and pleeeease keep up updated!
Totally cool! You don't even need the freckles to see it!
I didn't have to squint - and I saw it before following the freckle map :)
Nice arm!
THanks Wendy and salma gundi. Freckle map. lol!
