Nothing has really changed much in the last week. I still haven't weighed myself but I worked out regularly and as always kept it healthy on the food end. I did sneak some chocolate but hey, that's more of a sanity thing then a binging thing π
I'm excited that the 2 Week Challenge begins tomorrow and a little nervous. That means I will have to weigh and measure myself, yikes! It's a great supplement to my regular workouts, and if I miss a night at the gym I don't have to feel too guilty because at least I did something!

This weeks blogging carnival question is:Β What do you find most challenging in skin care?
The most challenging thing about skin care is keeping my ashy self moisturized. I have spent more money in lotions, body washes, and oils then should be allowed. If my skin was normal then maybe that money could go towards a new purse!?! All I know is , cheap store brand or bargain brands do not work on me. They make the situation worse! If you know of an amazing, super, fantastic lotion, please help me out!

Don’t be nervous! Just put everything you got into it. The results are always great. ;)Sounds like you already have some good activity lined up so this should be a great addition. Have a great week.

I am nervous too! We’ll have a great time though!
A little chocolate is good sometimes. Great job on the self-restraint. That’s always the toughest part for me—portions.
Have fun this week!

I am with you on the weight check (I have been ignoring my scale for a while now) and on skin. I really don’t know what I am doing

I’m super psyched about the 2week challenge also. Have you tried Jergens lotion. Works great for me π and i hear on the purse thing. I have a fetish for purses. I have too many but just love them. Especially COACH! ugh.. enough. hope you have a great day!
Ashley
I have, believe me I’ve tried everything! I wish something like that would work it def costs less then the ones that I use! Yay for purses π

You are going to do great with this challenge. As for your skin, have you tried olive oil? Sounds strange, but it does work wonders.
Ashley
Doesn’t sound crazy at all, I’ve used the Kiss my Face brand lotion and it’s made with olive oil. It works great on heat rash and normal dry skin (for me anyways). Wintertime is just brutal on my skin!

So glad your working out hard and eating well. I’m sure this 2 week challenge will be awesome.
I can’t stand lotion, but I need it.
Ashley
I’m not a huge fan either but its a necessary evil

I feel your pain on the skin – I am forever feeling all dry and gross when it’s cold outside. How are you doing on the 2 week challenge so far?
Ashley
It’s going well! So far I haven’t fallen behind and I’ve been hitting all the goals π how’s it going for you?

I hope you’ve had a great time this week with the workouts! I am loving the 2 week challenge too! I totally understand about the chocolate being a sanity food…
Ashley
how have you been doing on the challenge?
