Boss 1 is gone for the week. Boss 2 just said she's taking off and won't be back today. I'm already having a difficult time concentrating, and now it's totally gone. Must. Get. Work. Done.

Unfortunately, all I can seem to think about is how last spring this skirt seemed much looser than it does now. It's pretty clear that I'm gaining muscle from all my stairclimbing and weight lifting and stomach crunching, but I'm not trimming the fat. I need to lose the cookies and ice cream. Of course, I've known this for a long time...I just only trim any of the fat when I restrict my diet to a level that makes me miserable. :(

This is me not wanting to work.

Jeez, we're both 5'2", also???

I do the muscle thing as well. I should've mentioned that. I just build layers of muscle UNDER the fat, and end up with brand new stretch marks. This has changed a little with the trans fat thing.

But you know what else? I'm taking a supplement called Tonalin CLA - made from safflower oil, harmless. It's supposed to convert fat into muscle, assuming you're doing your part with the appropriate exercise and diet. So, since you're definitely doing the exercise, and your diet can't be all that far off from what it should be, it might be worth a try.

Enjoy another peek at the icon.

I'm closer to 5'3", actually. 5'2" is more enjoyable to say, though.

I like having a bit more strength in my arms, but it bothers me that I've still got a jiggle. Maybe I should give it more time. I've only been truly dedicated to the weights routine for a couple of months.

Tonalin CLA. Will look that up. As long as it doesn't have nasty side effects, I'll try anything once. What's one more pill in the morning?

I do so love that icon.
