My improved Legs!

Thanks to my amazing Irish fare skin and my Chia Pet, Italian black hair (on top of my freekishly thick cankles), and my road map of veins, my legs are not my favorite part of my body. Surprised? Didn't think so. :) My husband, however, loves every part of me and I am so thankful for that. He sees my struggle with trying to overcome my insecurities when buying clothes or shoes. He notices that I wear pants year round so I will feel confident  out in public. He also observes me squeezing into tan shaded or black nylons if I feel brave enough to wear a skirt. He is very supportive and wants to help me in any way that he can. Last Christmas he surprised me with 2 years worth of Laser Hair Removal treatments at Simplicity Laser. It has been working fabulously! Instead of shaving twice a day to have smooth legs, I shave every 3-4 days now. (No exaggeration) AND JUST NOW he bought me 2 treatments for sclerotherapy. That's where they get rid of your spider and varicose veins! Woot woot!! I am so stoked! Maybe I can start loving the way my legs look. I am very thankful for my legs. They are very strong and they work! I am positive that my body style was specifically designed by God to take care of Stephen, I would just like them to be more attractive for Stephen to look at and touch. :) Combined with my workouts, I just might have the legs I have always wanted! Yay! Might I add that there is lots of pain for me in doing these procedures, but the results are worth the tears! Thanks Stephen! I love you! Here's a picture of an example, I found on Google Images.

ZUMBA!!!!

I have been trying out the different exercise classes at Luke Air Force Base. So far, I have enjoyed going to Yoga, Pilates, and ZUMBA!!!! Holy cardio! Today my heart rate got up to 193! My monitor stopped working for some reason today, so I didn't get to see how many calories I burned. Last Wednesday, however, I burned 743 calories in 1 HOUR! Love this! I don't know how good I look doing it, but I am certainly going to look good after I drop a few pounds. Yay!
