11 more Pounds down. That's almost 4 bags of sugar Trophy! #Diet Rocks


Dearest Trophy: Restarted the Trophy Wife Makeover and 11 pounds down so I get my first reward - Nails done all long and Trophy style.  I think Pink since I'm re-living my Pink Day this weekend.


We lost another inch off the waistline. Yeah! This Trophy Wife is on her way to getting to goal and grabbing some new bling courtesy of Mr. Trophy for reaching it!

Fit N Fabulous:  Total Body Sculpt with Gilad. A discovery channel recording of a great full body workout.  We will get that trophy wife body.  Gilad gives great instructions and always shows an alternative lower impact version of his high impact exercises. Look for Gilad Workout DVD’s at  - http://bodiesinmotionwithgilad.com/   Or check on youtube by entering Gilad workout in the search engine (here is an address to a quick warm-up http://youtu.be/Kkdsewe7RrE
Spaliscious Skin:  Slather on a rich cleansing facial cream and remove with a warm cloth. Today my choice is Noxzema.  The Original Deep Cleansing Cream reaches deep down to the pores to remove dirt, oil and makeup. It refreshes with that classic Noxzema tingle and conditions as it cleans, so your skin feels softer and smoother. 
Mani/Pedi Miracles: Milk Soak Foot bath to soften feet. The high concentration of lactic acid in milk works to soften feet and eat away at dead skin cells. Vanessa of Blush Spa also suggests buttermilk for added milk strength, which has a higher amount of lactic acid than regular milk. Soak feet for 20 minutes and then rub with a foot brush or pumice stone to slough off remaining dead skin. Then rub feet with Vaseline and cover with thick cotton socks to help feet retain moisture. Leave socks on as long as possible.  Makes for super soft tootsies.

Lipgloss &Lashes: The Spring Makeup Looks are fresh and clean this season.  This week I’ll mimic some of the looks seen on the catwalk for spring. Long twiggy like lashes, tops and bottom lashes coated with mascara, accented with lash extensions and given greater impact when worn with white eyeliner.  Nude lips and flawless skin are the perfect combination with this look along with a bold brow.  I also like the vibrant green and blue creamy looking shadows that are placed boldly on the eyes – but I’ll save that look for another week.
Fashionista/Trophy Wife Style: I am loving pintrest for the great pictures of fashion, food, fitness and trophy ready ideas that are displayed.  Check out Trophywifediet on the site and enjoy the boards I have created full of fashion and style photos that are show superb trophy wife style. http://pinterest.com/trophywifediet/

Stupid Fat cells: Muscle weighs more than fat

Dearest Trophy:  Taking another look at this because I need to understand why the scale did not move today!!  Science!  Pants are fitting better and I feel the energy .. but this Trophy wants to see the numbers move..  I am willing to except the reality though that Muscle weighs more than fat - while fat takes up more room than muscle. Here is the News Flash!! What I recently learned and just had to share with you is that 1 pound of muscle while about a 1/3 of the size of 1 pound of fat -can hold up to 3 pounds of water.  Fat doesn't hold that much water so it's just enlarged fat cells weighting around for us to shrink (or enlarge) them.

WHOA!!  So while it kind of frustrates me it does explain to me why the scale doesn't move sometime.  So Diva this means instead of freaking out when that scale does not move, instead we need to grab a tape measure and track inches.  Another great idea is to grab a pair of tight pants and try them on ever so often to  see how they feel.
