TODAY'S BODY

lunges and push ups: That was a treat not to have them today... what awaits tomorrow?!
eating: I had half an amazing panini, but I'm having trouble digesting the white bread!!!!
other: hmm....
TODAY'S MIND
Found the resistance bands which was a kind of a scavenger hunt.
And Flickr is up....
I wrote Aki from the group ahead the other day about this, in response to one of her posts.
It was a post I could totally relate to. This is my thought for the day, as the body shots go up....
I think our flickr sites are being linked to our blogs now and while I kind of dread that, I just wanted to say...
When I was considering whether or not to do the PCP, I browsed some blogs from people who have completed the process as well as those who are in the middle of it. I came across your blog and thought- wow! she's got a lot of courage to post bikini shots, but then realised it's the best way to see the progress over the period of 40 days.
Confession: When I decided to do the PCP and had to take my day 1 photo, I don't know how many outfits I went through! There was the short sock issue like you mention in your post as well as the short tops, where the workout leggings stop on your legs, not to mention my muffin top, etc etc. I worked in fashion for a long time, so the way my mind works in that sense, made it even worse.
But then I realized, while the photos are available for everyone to see, I'm doing this for me. And I should choose whatever will help me to actually see the transformation the best. And to remember that people are more likely to focus on wow!ing your progress rather and being judgmental of our shape, whether it's in the beginning, middle, or end. At the end of the day, I realized that everyone is coming to this space to be supportive, and the person most likely to be judgemental is- ourselves.
Just wanted to say thanks for this great post and for inspiring me to just embrace the way I am!!!
