I knew I should have laid off on strength stuff on the pole tonight. My energy levels are so low, and I feel so bloated right now. I think this is actually a bad week to be eating bacon.
I didn't have much energy for dancing last night, either. Or tonight, for that matter.
For my Getting Ready for the Stage class tonight, I didn't dance to both my songs and I just did the slow one. Ms. Instructor had absolutely no constructive criticism for me at all :shock: She said what I did was perfect (and again with the great hair movement :lol:) I totally winged it.
I went to a laser treatment centre today about my face. In all honesty, ever since I moved my bed, I've pretty much stopped getting a lot of new pimples. However, I've gotten lots of scarring in the process :( I was prescribed some cream (hopefully, my sensitive face won't fall off), and when I go back in a month or two, we'll discuss laser treatments.
I guess I should have done something about my skin sooner. Well, I did use some therapy, but it was useless.
My dad called me today to see how the appointment went. I don't know what his problem is. He's very concerned about my looks. I think it stems from his own insecurities. When I was younger, he told me I was a pretty girl; therefore, I could afford to be picky about guys. If I was ugly, then that would be a different story :roll:
I forgot to mention that when I ran into him at the bakery on Sunday, the first thing he did was comment on my face. "Wow, your face looks really bad!" Actually, he's said that to me every time I've seen him the last few times. It's not like I haven't been looking the same way since the summer. My face has actually gotten better. :oops:
So when he inquired about my appointment, he was like, "who gets acne when they're in their 20s?!" And then he advised me that if I was going to one of those Chinese "beauty centres" to have them help me lose some weight, too. :x F*cker.
This is coming from someone who ignored my doctors when I was a child when they suggested I lose weight. I don't aspire to be thin (nor can I be...I got my dad's body type); I just want to look lean and muscular. Looking muscular isn't valued in Chinese culture. Oh well.
A long while back [url=http://aliciarose.tblog.com]aliciarose[/url] asked about pics. I finally got around to posting a couple. I just upgraded my Photoblog account. The quality of my pics from the links are quite sucky. Sorry!
[url=http://www.photoblog.be/carme...]Here I am[/url] from January. I guess I look a little softer now, and it's kind of hard to see much from the black dress anyway.
I am dying to get back to regularly exercising. This weekend, I will start. Running once a week and doing weights once a week is not enough!! Must make time!!

Hahaha!!! I'm sorry... when I saw your entry title I thought I was going to be reading someone lamenting about overindulgence in self-gratification. My mistake... sorry. :)

I LOVE the fall shot. It's an action shot! I love action shots!
I find your father hilarious -- his values and frankness remind me of my mother. Should mention here that I've not seen my mother in about four years, LOL.
You are looking FIT, Rosie. I envy your body, woman. Woo!

Thanks!
I think I could go without seeing my father for that long and not feel bad about it. He is a very frustrating man to deal with. AURGH!
I think you look wonderful! I envy you. Why are our Asian parents so hard on us? My poor friend's mom just told her she better lose weight or else her soon-to-be fiance will leave her! WHAT?!

Thanks :) I think Asian parents just see the potential in us and want us to do well (even if it means having the ability to shed a human's worth in weight!!)
