Feel Confident girl!

June 21, 2012

I have a work presentation today and I got a new dress for it from Bebe!  I don’t normally buy clothes from there, but I really liked this color blocked dress.  I have some clothes that I could wear, but I wanted to feel special and confident speaking today (even though its only for like a minute!).  I’m wearing a black blazer over my dress, but I was so hot and sweaty from my … [Continue reading]

I’m going to try to go for a walk after work today and also some ab work at home.  I am excited to feel some progress and am hoping it continues to progress like it is!  I just have to keep playing it smart.  I know that I haven’t run since the marathon (except for … [Continue reading]
