It's official-- it's cellulite!!!

OK, well, since working out, my belly hasn't really gone down much at all... So, I was like, maybe it's a tumor and that's why my belly is big....So, today was the appointment and it was confirmed-- cellulite and just plain old fat is what the belly is-- no tumor! I knew it!! So, Dr. Laws said, it's just going to take hard work-- it took you 3 years to put it on... blah blah, same stuff... he did say that some people can NEVER lose that little lower belly pooch... Maybe he was just saying that to make me feel better?? But then I said "Tummy tuck time!" and he told me I did NOT need a tummy tuck, he said a tiny bit of lipo right there would do the trick! So-- that is good news, little incision and cheaper-- sign me up!!!! But he didn't worry or say anything at all about the muscle separation or corsets or anything like that-- he said good, old fashioned cardio and crunches... (and not eating like a cow...)
OH yeah, speaking of eating-- was I supposed to start calorie counting yesterday-- whoops... AHH!!! I JUST CAN'T DO IT.. I need some encouragement from you all, well, if anybody is actually reading this... Anyways, I think I ate what I wanted and didn't count calories just to SPITE the whole calorie counting concept... it makes me feel so deprived....I have no willpower whatsoever.
On the positive note: I had a great workout, and almost finished all I had to do on my sheet. I should have done more cardio, I only could fit 25 minutes in, but I worked EVER muscle-- 15 reps, 3 sets on every muscle (triceps, biceps, shoulder, chest, rear deltoids, more arm and back stuff I don't know the names of, hamstrings, inner and outer thighs, butt cheeks, calves, abs, abs, and abs...) is that all? The list is in my car.. but this morning I am feeling a little sore all over, which is a good thing, and means it WORKED! So, today I am doing more cardio and starting with the things I didn't get to finish yesterday, specifically being another rear delt machine and the captain's chair and my squats.. gotta love the squats.
Oh yeah, ya know like a couple of weeks ago I lost 2 pounds, but put it back on rather quickly and was up to my original 132.4 or whatever, I thought I gained at least 4 or 5 pounds this weekend (on our mini-vacation) but I didn't, I was just up to 133... Dr. Laws said I need to lose 10 more and I should be as skinny as I need to be. I was thinking more like 115, like I was in high school, but we'll see....probably that is just wishful thinking.
