This morning's weigh-in made me feel good... but I still need to up my game. This whole "only seeing a lower number every other week" thing isn't ok. I want to see that number drop.
I know I'm building some muscle but I'm just retoning what I already have. We all know I'm already buff enough HAHA. I clearly have another 15 pounds of body fat that I can shed...and I will. I am.

I'm not planning on working out today. It's my last day at my old job!! I have my body wrap today (since yesterday I forgot my clothes). I might go for a walk or something this evening once I get home if it's nice out.

FormoStar Body Wrap information

Per request, here is more information on the detoxifying body wraps I am trying out.
They recommended that I do 2-3 a week for a few weeks if I really want to see and feel body sculpting results. While I did initially purchace the package of 5 wraps (on sale for $89) to try and slim my problem area (love handles) and kick start my visual results from this 100 day personal challenge, I have found that the detoxification that comes from these is what I benefit from more. So, I am doing my wraps for 5 weeks on Mondays~~ weekends tend to be when I drink or eat snacky foods so my body clearly builds up toxins and these wraps leave me feeling refreshed.

How they work. I go in and they wrap these infrared silicone bandages around my thighs, hips and abdomen... and then they give me the option of having my upper arms wrappped or my calves~ I've been doing arms. These bandages/pads are put over my clothing and then the woman covers me with a blanket. I lay there and can watch tv for 50 minutes... and sweat. You sweat a lot! There is a fan in the room that you can turn on if you want. This week, to up my experience I wore a long sleeve top with a hood. I took my hood off after about 25 minutes.
They actually recommend that you do bring a water bottle and drink throughout the 50 minute session. The idea is that these wraps aren't just dehydrating you, you can keep yourself hydrated as you sweat out all the toxins in your system.

Here is the link from the place where I go here in Utah as well as a few other links to informational resources about infrared body wraps and their benefits.

- I couldn't find any articles from medical journals about this technology aside from wound treatment/chronic pain treatment... but it is new and I'm sure those will be published in time.

Didn't sleep much last night. I woke up at 4:30am and couldn't fall back asleep, so I got up and tidy'd my apartment, painted my nails, didn't vacuum out of respect for my sleeping neighbors... but ah well. I do feel good today. After yesterday's FormoStar body wrap and visit to the gym... the guilt from my holiday over-indulgence has subsided. I think I'm going to do the rest of my wraps on Mondays (since weekends tend to be when I build up toxins). They really don't feel slimming, but I do sweat my butt off and I know that I'm getting the toxins out of my system. I feel really good after my treatments.
**These wraps are kind of expensive. I decided to try them out because the normal cost is $59 for one treatment, but they were offering a special of 5 visits for $89 ~ so my girl Bre recommended I try it out as she knew I wanted an extra bit of kick-off for this weight loss plan... I've gone twice so far. I figure, it was something to try.


Today.
I have tentative dinner plans so I most likely won't be visiting the gym today~ if dinner is postponed I will definitely go, but my goal is at least 3 times a week so taking a night off is no big deal.

1 TBS pb
Snack.
8oz Pineapple tidbits in natural juice
Snack.
1 weightwatchers yogurt

Doctor upped my antibiotics schedule to get this crap gone... because it's hella annoying.
To make myself feel a bit better I went to get a haircut, I really needed it. I went to see my girl Bre at LUCID ENDS SALON...I love her. She definitely helped me feel better.
She also recommended I try out this thermowrap body contouring thing that she has been doing as her wedding fast approaches! It's kinda expensive ($89 for 5, 1 hour sessions) but it's a crazy kick start to my body work and it's removing toxins (not just dehydrating)... I'll report back on how I feel about it after I've gone more than this one time. But WOW, I sweat a ton!!

FOOD.
1 light string cheese
2 TBS peanut butter
1 high fiber granola bar
2 cups high fiber cereal
1 cup almond milk
1 rockstar hydrate
4 celery heart stalks w/peanut butter (total 1TBS)

Hmm...didn't eat much today. Weird.

ACTIVITY.
I went to the gym!! 25 minutes on the elliptical and 10 on the treadmill... and a quick first tanning session to start working my skin away from it's current pasty tone. Eeep!
