半身浴 Suggestions

I’ll skip the usual “god not Sunday ” rant!
I was feeling crummy this morning but went out and walked 4.8 miles around downtown DC which turned that frown upside down

So today I got my engagement & wedding rings back from being re-sized!! They were too big now~ but I was scared of jumping the gun of getting them re-sized; in case I gained back any of the weight I had lost. So I waited~ and waited~ and now it’s been nearly a year!! But I didn’t gain any back So Mike and I both got ours re-sized (he’s lost nearly 40 lbs this year! :whoafreak

It feels so wonderful to wear my engagement ring again~~!! I had stopped wearing it nearly 6 months ago because it started to fly off :F My wedding band I’ve been keeping on by wearing a smaller ring my grandmother gave me, blocking it from falling off.

And I want to congratulate any of my friends who are still using livestrong.com too!! I still use it too, out of habit , and out of obsessive need to track things because OCD is fun hahhaaahhaaa! But it’s been 1 year since I found that website & it really did change my life. My ring size is a full size smaller now~ couldn’t have done it without livestrong

OK, so sometimes people ask how I can manage to take such long hot baths (the kind suggested in magazines, especially in diet pages,) and here’s an example how! I read magazines! I not only read them I mark outfits I want to scan in a whatnot too. I bring a nice big cup of cold green tea or cold apple vinegar drink and I always use a bath salt or bubble bath~ I just love baths! I always have! It’s my #1 way of relieving stress too! If I have a seriously crap day I’m gonna end it with a long hot bath. The other day I was in there for 80 minutes!

Most of the diet bath topics suggest staying in a sweaty hot bath for at least 30minutes~ Kumicky is seen here demonstrating reading Popteen in the tub! Haahaa~

30 minutes to 2 hours… I’ve NEVER made it 2 hours, I’d assume you’d have to add some hot water to the tub again! haahaa! I tend to shoot for an hour but on average I’m usually at 45 minutes

Also using an iPod to play music helps! I have one of those cheap $5 portable speakers in my bathroom for my old iPod nano. I put on relaxing music or even nature sounds. One in particular is just a 40 minute track of night sounds (crickets, frogs ) haahaa and when it finishes I know I’ve been in the tub for 40 minutes! And always bring in a cold water or other zero calorie drink with you~ please don’t pass out OK!!!
