Day Four of Donate the Weight

I survived another one hour workout with Zee. The focus was on my triceps and biceps. I got through it by remembering Shirley in a sleeveless summer dress, with toned and muscled arms. Zee said she got them by doing the same kind of workouts.

I got through the previous night's workout (albeit barely) by recalling the photo of Shirley in her black dress. Perhaps that's because I had earlier noticed that Curves recently held a Little Black Dress Contest. What a good idea! When researching the basic requirements for my future new wardrobe I found the little black dress on every list.

I bought a little black dress at The Knack soon after moving to Powell River in 2003. It was too tight to wear, but I was optimistic that I would soon lose into it. WRONG. Instead of losing a few pounds, I gained a lot of pounds. That dress still hangs in my closet, mocking me at times and beckoning to me at others. It will never go out of style, and I look forward to wearing it in a few months' time.

Perhaps after Donate the Weight ends for the year we should have a "Little Black Dress" night for every woman that achieves a similar goal! Hmmm.
