My pants are falling off

I don't have any dress pants for work that fit properly. This is both good and bad. Good that I've slimmed down, bad in that I HATE shopping for dress pants!! They're expensive, they never fit right because I'm so short and I almost always have to get them tailored. I get lucky at some stores that offer pants in Long, Regular, and Short length, but not all the time. It's just a pain to shop for them in general. I'm going to try to hold off on buying dress pants till the fall though. A warm-up should be coming next week, and I can get through the summer with skirts, dress, and dressy capris for work.

My bedroom is all finished!! It's amazing what a coat of paint and some reorganization can do! I absolutely love it.

Here are the "Before" pictures:






And "After"!!! : )





My dad did an awesome job.

I'm glad that I still double up on workouts some days, because it helps me out if the rest of the week gets the better of me. For the 2nd half of last week, I was consumed with setting up and re-organizing my room the way I wanted it, plus had to work late on Thursday. That all got in the way of me getting to the gym. Last week I did get workouts in on Sunday, 2 on Monday, and one Tuesday, so still got at least 4 workouts for the week. I don't ever want to dip below 4 days a week for working out.

Yesterday I did 30 minutes of cardio on the Crossramp and boot camp class at night. Boot camp was a great workout. I feel like I'm becoming a bit of a gym snob. Some people in the class were really irritating me with how much they were complaining. Ummm, people, it's not supposed to be an easy workout! Yes I breathe huge sighs of relief after some difficult moves, but it's GOOD pain, I love it. These people are like "Oh my God...I'm dying from exercise..."

Then this morning I got up and did 35 minutes on the Stairmaster, starting at level 7 for a warmup then alternating levels 8-10. I am SO looking forward to resting tonight! I want to catch the last episodes of LOST. I haven't been one to watch every single episode of the show, but my mom and boyfriend keep me in the loop about it and I used to watch some of the other seasons with him. I am dying to know what "the secret" is, that will be taking up my Tuesday nights the next couple weeks!
