Girlie clothes

Just lifting weights is not enough. I also need more aerobic workouts, so I spent Saturday with my daughter. That meant going to 3 or 4 animal shelters seeking a new puppy for her. I still might go back and see about that 6 week old Jack Russell we saw. Such a cutie! We had a very nice dinner and covered a mall a few times. She isn't much taller than I am but really hauls butt when she walks.

I had wanted her opinion on a blouse so we stopped to see it. She totally approved. It's a nice, pretty blouse. We also picked up a new fingertip length trenchcoat for me in pink. It seems all the new clothes out this year are girlie clothes. No more jeans, sweats, pullovers, parkas, gym shoes. Out come the blouses, tailored pants, skirts, blazers, trenchcoats and strappy sandals. Oh boy! What could be better to to with my re-newly defined muscles than some well cut, pretty, feminine clothes? Can a new Prada purse be far behind?

Of course, so far I have done only my upper body exercises with 5 lb weights in single sets, but I didn't want to get sore and then skip some workouts. I did 16 different exercises covering 4 body areas. Today I will do lower body and abs. In a few days I will increase my hand weights to 8 pounds. I will do 10 lbs for biceps. It is cheering to hear my muscles thank me for working them again. They will look so sleek in my new celery colored blouse!
