Dress shopping didn't go nearly as well as I had expected purchase wise, but I had a blast. I had my trusty Sandra Compton by my side to lead me in to a direction that I had not really ever gone. Sure I had bought dresses in my time but not really something that accentuated the assets of a newly changed body in an appropriate 37yr old way ( yes I am 37 ). Off we went to Le Chateau. The walls were covered with beautiful shimmery dresses. I was in AWE!!! All I could think was dang there is no way I am ever going to fit in to any of these and feel comfortable. Oh boy was I wrong! She put me in this beautiful green and black dress that made me open my eyes to how awesome I looked. And yes I can say that cuz I did :) And then the shoes came.. Black Stiletto Jessica's. My body changed again and my bum went POP! Oh and so did my calves. One day those shoes will be coming home with me. Unfortunately, I seem to have chosen one of the most expensive dresses in the store. Lesson learned though? Yes... Don't be afraid to walk in and try something on just so you can finally see what really works for your body instead of what you have been settling on.
My theme of the night was to feel comfortable in what I was wearing so I ended up finding a cute little top and pulling out a pair of black dress pants that I haven't worn in a few years comfortably. This is what the final product was........................
We laughed, danced and had so much fun that night. It was an awesome time spending an evening with women whom you love unconditionally and respect. BeautyFit Beauties come in all shapes and sizes (which we change with hard work and dedication) but one things remains the same. We work hard and we play hard and we do it together.
Two days later we joined hands and hearts to Run for the Cure for Breast Cancer. It was downright cold that morning but we wrapped up layer upon layer to stay warm before the 5km started. Some beauties walked and some ran. I ran... Oh FOREST I RAN!! 5km in 33 min. no walking.. Just running. And I could not have done it without 2 beauties Tammy and Jax by my side. We started together and we crossed that finish line hand in hand. We don't leave a WOman behind EVER!
You can never go wrong when you have your gurlz with you.
These ladies amazed me beyond words.
Last weekend was full of fun but Monday came and that meant back to training. Weights will always be my nemesis but I know there is a good reason for using them. They make me mentally and physically stronger.. Stay tuned and I will tell you how. Until then, Find a good cause and donate your time. It doesn't have to be a charity. A good cause could be a friend in need that just needs your hand.
