UPDATES!

Cell'Maids!  Where have you been?

I've been away for a couple of days, getting my cellulite plans together!  Here are some of my updates.

1.  I didn't get to grocery shop with E this weekend, I had to go all by my lonesome, BUT that did not deter me from getting a melon. TWO, in fact.  Since E wasn't with me, I didn't know what to choose, so I got orange and green, which I cut within about ten minutes of getting home!  Me - 3...Melons - 0 !!  Also, that's two weeks of responsible melon activity - only 26 more weeks and it will be habit!

2.  I also took the opportunity to research cellulite busting foods (courtesy of pop up ads), so now I know that I should eat almonds, low-fat dairy, green tea, and some things that I forget.  I should not eat orange juice, sugar (duh), and some other tasty things.  So I got 100 calorie packs of almonds for my lunches (I already forgot to bring them today- so much for habit forming activities!).  And I did not get orange juice (although I hardly ever do).  I did bring green tea two work two days in a row, so I guess I'm two for three.

3.  I made two other AWESOME purchases - cellulite shorts! and thigh slimming wraps!  The cellulite shorts are a little confusing...it was a sanctioned impulse purchase, but I still wish I researched a little more.  I just showed up at the "fitness" section at a major retailer and picked the most gimicky and fun cellulite reduction product that I could use immediately.  Now these shorts, I'm not sure if I am supposed to wear them to appear less celullite-y or if wearing them will actually reduce the cellulite...or rather, the appearance of cellulite.  That, at least, was clear.  No real cellulite REDUCTION...
The second purchase was thigh slimming wraps.  SO AWESOME.  They are pretty much a length of neoprene that gets wrapped around the thigh as tight as possible, causing the leg to sweat out excess water.  Totally, the first day I got them, I wore them all day at work and during Lunch Zumba, and they were SOAKING.  Today, I wore both products TOGETHER!  My legs are almost sticks.
I will be taking leg measurements tonight (was supposed to do it yesterday - Measurement Monday) and will do so every week.  Fortunately, the tape measure is a bit more cumbersome to use, so limiting myself to measuring once a week should be fairly doable.

4.  YouTube ROCKS for workouts.  I'm a dancing fool with Zumba, pumping and thrusting like none of you have ever seen.  Its. So. Awesome.  I heard today that Tae Bo is on YouTube, too.  I. CAN"T. WAIT.

First BRIDESMAID fitting tomorrow! I'm so excited for the dress and the girls!  Not so for the measuring, but at least now I'm not terrified!  Wish me luck!!
