All about me

I've been a little fixated on myself lately. I think it's because I have been pushing myself to do things I have never done before (exercise lots and eat good clean food) that I feel like I need a reward. Normally I would go buy myself a delicious cupcake or something but that doesn't really fit into my new lifestyle. So I've been going to the salon.

I colored my hair about a month ago. I got my legs and armpits waxed. I got contacts and have new glasses on the way. I had a facial and fell in love with my new esthetician. Since then I have gotten 2 chemical peels from her. I can see how the first one had potential to really help my skin but there was not many side effects. So the second one was stronger. It smelt like oranges and burned like crazy. This was Friday. We had family pics on Saturday and I think I was looking fine.

Today. Today I am a mess. I know it's temporary but I can't even bring myself to try and cover it with makeup. So I thought I'd take pictures. So I can remember what I went through just in case I decide I want to do this again.
I feel blotchy and dried out.

In other news I am loving shakeology and my new workouts. Chalene Johnson is my new best friend. :) I have lost 10 inches do far. Only about 3 lbs (I gained 4 at the start) but I look and feel so much better. I am super happy about the life changes I've made. I get really sick if I eat desserts and that is actually good for me. Candy especially the Easter basket kind from this weekend doesn't really even tempt me. That makes me feel like what I'm doing is working! Even more than the workouts do. The loose fitting clothes help though too. Gotta get ready for summer clothes!
