Oh my aching everything!

No one ever said working out was going to be easy...
But at least it can be fun!
The other night I played volleyball for...I don't know, maybe half an hour?  And the thing is, when it comes to me and sports, we don't like each other.  But I really tried this time!  I hit the ball, I moved for it, etc.
And it shows.  My arms are so bruised!  The most annoying part is, my butt is sore!  From kneeling and moving around and reaching for the ball!  But regardless, I had tons of fun at the time.  It's ridiculously warm here in Texas for being the end of January (I'm in shorts and a tee as I type this..Jealous? ^_~), so that means I have no excuse to get my butt outside.
This morning I took out my dog Roxy (half black lab half catahoula) for a run, and it about kicked. My.  Butt.
We ran from my house to the park (only about .3 miles), then ran the majority of the park, only stopping so she could smell everything, and ran about a fourth of the way from the park to my house.  Then I basically tried to get on her back and ride her home I was so tired.  But it was worth it!
All sweat and no tears,

The best fashion statement:

There's something everyone can do to look their best, no matter what they're wearing, no matter the body shape or size.
It's wearing clothes that fit.
It doesn't matter if you're a size 00 or a size 18; no one can read the labels on the insides of your jeans or shirts!
No one is going to look at you, size you up with their eyes and go, "Huh, they're a size 12!"
However, people can look at you and think, "Oh, their jeans don't fit."
Everyone wants to look and feel good, there's no doubt about it.
Some days I'll get dressed and just hate what I'm wearing.  I don't feel good about how I look, I don't feel comfortable.  My jeans are too tight or too loose, my shirt is too short, whatever it is, I'm uncomfortable.
The best fashion advice I can ever give you is to try on everything, and buy the size that fits.  And don't be upset about what the size is.
I'll be straight up honest with you.
I'm currently wearing a size nine pair of jeans, and they're comfortably snug.  A few months ago, I was in a size thirteen.  I'm not ashamed to say it.  I'd rather wear a size thirteen than a size 9 when I ought to wear a thirteen.    Because at least I'll be comfortable.
As a society, we need to stop squeezing into the smallest size we possibly can, and put on a shirt that fits!
No one can read the label of the clothes you're wearing.

No scales and all smiles,
Lissy
