I’ll be leaving the house at o’dark-thirty tomorrow morning for my flight to BlogHer. So I guess it’s too late to attempt to lose another 10 pounds quickly, isn’t it?
That’s OK, though. I’m ready. Did I lose weight over the past few months? Yes, I did – about 10 pounds. Did I gain some muscle, too? I think so. I’m eating better on a daily basis now, and thanks to Aaron being unemployed, I’m eating far less fast food, too! Exercise, while still not a daily event, is at least a 2-3 times a week activity. Those are all big changes for me. And the results are visible.
No magical transformation to see here, though. I’m still me, just lighter than I was at the last two BlogHers, and a little more confident. But there is a little more muscle tone, and my face is brighter. I’ve got a decent haircut now, thanks to the Aveda Institute, and today I had the chance to relax and de-stress through a facial. (Gift certificates are wonderful things.)
I’m glad I had this event to motivate me. I’m planning to keep up the efforts, even though it’ll no longer be Hot by BlogHer. Not unless I’m starting early for next year.
So if you’re going to BlogHer, look for me. I’ll brave enough to wear sleeveless tops, but best of all, I’m keeping to my word to wear a sundress. (I don’t care that the high is in the mid-60’s for San Francisco. That’s near-perfect for me.) I think I’m going to look pretty damn good in that dress, too. Here’s a hint of what to look for:
Let’s rock this party!
waaaah! i can’t go!
have a great time!
Post pics for all of us who won’t be there to see! I’m so proud of you and what you’ve accomplished. It’s truly a way of life to be healthy, and one I need to commit to!
Hooray! That looks like a great dress print.
Congrats on walking in there with confidence because you made changes in your life you’re happy with. That always feels good, helps you feel good about yourself when others are checking you out to see if you got toilet paper stuck to your shoe.
Love your time there!!
Sniff. Have fun… 🙁
Have fun! You’ll look great!
Have a great time and ENJOY!
Yay! More recent pictures (ie your interviews) and you can tell you look great.
Wish I was going so we could finally meet 🙁
Anyway, I LOVE that you have gained confidence! It just emulated from this post. Good for you!!!!
Have fun and I hope it’s very successful for you.

I wish I was there to celebrate with you and I can’t wait to see the photos.
I recently lost five pounds and that makes a world of difference for my ego. If I was a skinny girl, I wouldn’t be able to fit through door frames.
Waaaaah! I can’t go either. On the other hand, I AM a Him.
