Just a note—Someone asked if I had sucked in my stomach for the 4 Weeks picture. Yes—I sucked in my stomach for BOTH pictures. 🙂

A bit disappointed about this past week because no weight loss and no inches lost. HOWEVER, in other ways, this has been a fabulous week!

I finally gave in and went to shop for new slacks. Yes—I did end up buying a size smaller! No more saggy crotch pants! I can’t even remember when I last wore a size 8 pants.

Had assessment at the gym this week. I rated excellent for my age (64) in every category except good cholesterol and grip strength. (Don’t quite understand how bad cholesterol and total cholesterol can be in excellent range with good cholesterol low—hmmm…).

Had to do pushups for the assessment. Haven’t done those before. Trainer said to just do as many as I could. I did 35 pushups. Trainer was excited and told me that 17 pushups are excellent for my age. If she had told me that before, I could have stopped at 17! HaHaHa!!!

I know I wouldn’t have achieved the excellent ratings if I hadn’t just finished my first 28 Day Challenge. More energy! More stamina! Woo! Hoo! for healthy eating and Arbonne nutrition products and support! Continuing this new lifestyle!

I posted about smaller pants and excellent assessment in the Arbonne 28 Day Challenge Facebook group. Our director, Jodi, commented “Wow, Dawn! This is so inspiring. I have a sense that the way you feel is much better than the taste of any donut!”

Donut?!? Donut?!? I don’t need no stinkin’ donut!!!
