if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands...
praise praise praise.
life is so great right now.
i went to the gym today and had an awesome cardio workout...
but then i went to the scale and found that i have lost nearly 8lbs in the past month. i was a bit surprised since i have been trying to focus on lifting and gaining muscle mass. although it's a relief to know that my efforts aren't futile or in vain, i wish i was seeing more muscle and less weight loss. i don't want to look like nicole richie by next month. desha says i need to eat more meals in the day and take in more carbs, while angel says i need to cut out the cardio and just lift weights for a while.
i'm gonna try both.
sandwiches in my backpack during the day. less cardio. more pumping iron. protein and veggies at night.
but i'm always open to suggestions.
angel and i scheduled our headshot appointments with steven this evening. we lucked out cuz he agreed to let us go halvsies on each shoot so we could get two looks. on the first day we will split the shoot between the two of us and we will have our hair styled curly. then we will get our hair done and blown out so the second shoot we will split the shoot and take straight-haired shots.
angel and i discussed this with our class since day one. we both thought it was really important for us to get both looks since they make us look so different. in fact, just a few weeks ago, i showed someone a pic of me with my hair straight and they said "who's the indian girl?"
whoa.
overall i am feeling like i am in a really good place right now. i look more like my old self. i feel more like my old self...but even happier.
this is typically the part where one might expect me to say "the only thing missing is a man"
but i wouldn't hold my breath for that statement if i were you.
*grin*
