Getting Ready for Spring/Summer

[Blackstar*]

So what is everyone doing to get in shape for summer? Diet, exercise, hair removal, skin care, hair styles - spill it! I need some [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/helpsmilie.gif[/img] in all those areas and more.

Re: Getting Ready for Spring/Summer

the only thing i have started to do is visit the pedicure people bi-weekly instead of monthly to get the feet ready.

1. Diet & Exercise will remain the same. well that isnt true (my workouts will head outdoors).
2. I will switch to a lighter moisturizer when the weather heats up a bit.

Bi-weekly ILP? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]



My goals are:
To walk more often , get into the gym (mi havent been since the year start), eat more vegetables

On the cosmetic side -- bimonthly pedicures, and a good spa treatment to slough off all the dead winter skin.

oh yes.. DRINK MORE WATER (I am guilty of drinking more coffee than glasses of water)

Dash weh all de clothes inna mi closet &amp; replace it with a few classic pieces for the season (a la ze french) so mi look decent on a moment's notice.

Bi-weekly ILP? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img] </div></div>

yes. for me i feel that i need bi-monthly pedicure appointments until my toes make their first appearance. then it will be back to monthly.

I am going to add Omega 3 (via capsule) to the diet. I hear it does wonders for the skin.

ETA: Mi fix it....
