Manifesto continues!

Well, slowly but surely, I'm raising the level of awesome in my life. Since my last post, I've been going to the gym more consistently. Yay for that! I've also been cleaning more consistently. Speaking of which, can I just wax poetic for a moment about the Swiffer WetJet? Whoever invented that should be given a medal of honor. That sucker keeps my otherwise icky floors clean as a whistle. It is fantastic because it's just as clean with a lot less effort than a real mop and bucket situation! It does so well that I just gave away my old mop. I definitely feel like those hilarious Swiffer commercials! Another ease of use product that has made life better? The Fresh Shower spray. You know the type? Where you spray your shower down after you get out and it helps you clean? LOVE IT. And this time, it actually does a better job than the soap and sponge method. My shower really holds on to overall grime (not specific dirt, but just the kind that hangs around when a shower is old...). Even after soaking the tub in bleach I just couldn't get rid of the water stains. Now? After letting the fresh shower do its thing, I am actually starting to see a difference. Nice!

Ahem, back to the manifesto. The level of awesome is moving slowly but surely. I'm only on week 3 of working out with the trainer as of tomorrow, but last week I did hit the gym 5 days. My workouts aren't as intense as before, but frankly "less intense than before" is a helluva lot more intense than not at all. Today, I suffered a little bit of a setback of the sore throat variety, but we're only on the 2nd day of the week. Hopefully, I've fought this cold hard enough that I will be able to go everyday the rest of this week. Hooray!

So, my next milestone? Halloween. I've decided to retire the Snow White costume, and replace it with something equally cute and scandalous. In order to do that, I'm going to have to get my act together in roughly 6 weeks. On the weight watchers schedule, that could be anywhere from 6-12 lbs between now and then. So, we'll see how that goes...Let the costume shopping begin. Because I? I am an "after" picture waiting to happen. ;)
