My progess with Zaggora Hot Pants: week 1 measurements

I actually wanted to get this posted yesterday night but I had no one around to man the camera. My hubby was able to do it today so here it goes.  It's been 1 wk and 1 day of my 2 wk trial with my Hot Pants.

Zaggora Hot Pants are supposed to help reduce cellulite and, with only 3 - 30 minutes workouts a week over two weeks they are supposed to help you lose 2 jean sizes.  You can look back at my post I did the day I received my Hot Pants (Click HERE to see that post)  it has my initial measurement proof pictures.  I made sure I took the pic with the same tap measure, the same thigh, everything.  Here are my week 1 (and a day) results:

You can see in the pic that I lost a little over an inch in my belly already.  Compare to initial post, where I was at 34 and 1/4".  I'm not not quite even to the 33" mark.

Then there's my bum.  I'm at 33 and 1/2" so I lost a half inch around my bum (initial measurement was 40")

This one is a bit harder to see but I am at just a little less than 23" around my right thigh.  Initial measurement was 24".

Wanna know the crazy part though?  I actually gained a pound.  That absolutely drives me nuts.  It's been suggested it's muscle. I hope that's so.  I already noticed a difference in the way my work scrubs fit.  They are definitely roomier in the thighs.


I really haven't put in any hard core workouts.  I took a walk with my kids (as they rode their bikes and I pushed my toddler in the stroller).  We purposely took on some steep hills just to make it more challenging.  I timed it to make sure we were out for at least 30 minutes.  That was day 1.

Day 2 I took a walk with the kids again and I did 50 crunches.  I has also wore them to work under my scrubs

Day 3 I took a break from wearing them and really was just a lazy slug. Though I did take the time to try hand washing them and hang them to dry.

Day 4 I wore them miniature golfing with the fam.  I also indulged in some frozen custard.

Day 5  I did 15 minutes of power walking on the treadmill and 100 crunches and some butt squeezes.

Day 6 I took a break from wearing them again and again a lazy slug

Day 7 I wore them under my scrubs to work again and made sure to take the stairs instead of the elevators when possible (hey I'll do 2 or 3 flights but 8 uh not ready for that)

Day 8 (today)  I only put them on for the measurements.

So really it was no grueling time in the gym and I still lost some inches.  I even tried on my bikini to check the work in progress.  Still have a little to trim away at the belly but so far, I'm happy.

Haul (No Cheating!)

Today I went shopping with some friends and picked up a few new items.  But no worries, I didn't cheat on my makeup diet!  I was pretty proud of that, considering the fact that we met at Sephora!  I even saw the makeup line at Payless for the first time and wasn't even tempted.  I'm just to the point where I know I don't need any makeup so I don't even want it.  Here are a few things I did want.

The first two items I picked up at Target and both are hair accessories.  At the top, I finally found the dark hair Goody Spin Pins!  Yay!  I tried them out and was amazed at how well they worked!  So many of these "innovative" hair products have burned me before but this one is great!  Easy to use and does what it promises!

Below, I picked up another Goody Product.  It's an ouchless headband.  I actually love the two together also!  One of my most worn hair looks this summer has been a messy bun with a headband!  I have to say though, I have a different one of these ouchless headbands already and I think it is much more comfortable than the new one!  This one is tighter and not so ouchless.  We'll see if it gets better with time.

Lastly, I've been looking for a moisturizer for my face, neck, and chest with a high SPF.  The sunscreen I have currently from Aveeno made me break out in itchy, scaly hives on my neck!  So I wanted something SPF 30 or higher that would not irritate my skin.  I picked up this moisturizer with SPF 50 from Cetaphil.  Since it's classified as a facial moisturizer and not a sunscreen, I'm hoping it will be more gentle on my skin.  And if not, I saved the receipt and the woman at the counter said I can return it.  :)  What I like about it (first impressions!) is that it is in a squeeze tube so you can get all of the product out, but it also has a pump applicator so it's easy to get out now.  It also has a rather thin texture that blends easily into the skin, although it does smell a bit like sunscreen.  Also, since I live in Florida and the sun is really intense here and I'm very fair-skinned, I always go for high SPF, which this product has.  I have high hopes so far for this moisturizer and I'm really hoping it doesn't disappoint.

Butterfly award, thank you!

The gorgeous Liz from Bronzed Doll just awarded my blog with the Butterfly award!  Thanks so much girl, you're incredibly sweet!  I'm still dealing with some personal issues that have made me not up to blogging.  It's sad to me, because blogging here has always been a delight and something I look forward to.
Seeing this blog award definitely helped to lift my spirits today, though!  You all mean the world to me and every comment/follower/anything makes a difference.

2.  I could probably exist on apples, pretzels, peanut butter, and diet coke if I needed to.  And french fries.

3.  I want to be a fashion buyer.

4.  I love getting to know people and talking to strangers.  You learn so much!
