Last night it felt so weird to be at Weight Watchers and NOT weigh in. I have gone every week (but didn't stay for the 12/23 meeting) of this journey. I only get a week "off" this time since next week is the first meeting of March that I'll attend. Weighing myself this morning it looks like I'm still on the right track.
Week of Workouts
Thursday I worked my arms.
Friday I worked my shoulders.
Saturday I knew that in order to be able to make it to the library I couldn't wait for Benny to get up to shovel the driveway. So I did it ALL BY MYSELF! I had Austin come out and work on the leftovers but that didn't last long. At least he stayed outside with me and off his tablet! It took me about 2 hours to get it all done.
Surprisingly I was never really sore after all that shoveling but I still went ahead and did yoga on Sunday.
Monday I worked my arms again.
Yesterday I wrapped up Body Beast doing Cardio & Abs.
I have no program set up to go to next and have no idea what I want to do EEK!
Body Merry
I was given the opportunity to try out Body Merry's Stretch Marks & Scars Defense Cream as well as the Age Defense Eye Cream in exchange for my review.
Along with eliminating my wingsuit it would be nice to clear up some of those stretch marks from my skin stretching all these years.
Body Merry’s Stretch Marks & Scars Defense Cream is a natural and organic formula consisting of organic cocoa butter and shea butter, alongside lots of pure plant oils and vitamins. This cream provides intense moisturization and nourishes your skin to help visibly reduce the appearance of existing marks and scars, whatever be the cause. Not only that, it effectively prevents the formation of new ones. Like all our products, it is free from harsh chemicals such as parabens, sulfates and phthalates.
My arm and stomach before applying Body Merry's Stretch Marks & Scars Defense Cream
I haven't used cocoa butter in years but smelled it immediately when I opened the jar. I could probably sniff it all day LOL! I applied the Stretch Marks & Scars Defense Cream on my upper arms (aka wings) and my stomach twice a day for a couple of weeks. I personally can't see any difference in either area. Cocoa butter is supposed to work wonders for this but perhaps because it's been too long or that my skin is too loose I can't see the effects. I would like to use this cream again once my skin is tighter to see if it makes a difference.
I didn't know what to expect with Body Merry's Age Defense Eye Cream. There is a slight scent to this cream, although I can't identify what it is. I used this once a day for a couple of weeks. Not even a full pump was enough to cover both eyes (a little dab'll do ya). I dabbed a towel on my eyes to pick up any excess so it wouldn't get into my eyes. I noticed the skin around my eyes feels a little smoother than before and maybe a little less puffy.
(I tried to take current pictures this morning but Benny interrupted me and I didn't get it done.)

DeleteCassi,
ReplyDeleteGreat job at staying on track with your weight maintenance. I love the smell of coco butter also.
Thanks!
DeleteThat is one big driveway!!! Impressive, that was probably one killer workout! They always say shoveling snow is a total body workout, and 2 hours of it, that is just awesome!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNever measured how long the driveway is so I don't know how much snow I moved LOL
DeleteShoveling is a great cardio and weight training workout. Don't underestimate the power of shoveling some snow!
ReplyDeleteAnd I was SOO hungry Sunday from Saturday's shoveling! I tried to eat more Saturday but wasn't hungry.
DeleteWould you ever think about getting a tummy tuck and or arm tuck? My tummy isn't like it was when I was in my thirties and I was thinking about a mini tummy tuck but I do need to renovate my bathroom LOL. #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteYes, but insurance won't cover it so I could never do it. Home remodeling is definitely ahead of a tuck!
DeleteYou're doing great! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt may sound weird, but I moved from Chicago in 2005 and have not shoveled snow since, I miss it. Followed you here from the Let's Get Real party.
ReplyDeleteI'll gladly give you our snow! LOL
DeleteDoes the cocoa butter not make you hungry? It would for me!
ReplyDeleteLol only if I was hungry beforehand
DeleteI am so impressed with your determination and dedication. I love the scent of cocoa butter. I used to use it a lot as a teen back in the day. #wowlinkup
ReplyDeleteMom using cocoa butter on me as a kid is the only thing I can remember... Guessing 7th grade or before.
Deletewow! great progress! keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteGreat progress and way to keep on track!! You are doing such an amazing job! And...I love the smell of cocoa butter as well--so good you want to eat it!
