I don't think I can remember a time where I wasn't looking for a way to lose weight. A few years ago, I finally stopped. I was led down a path of simple good healthy eating, and working out hard. I've been feeling great! I've been working even harder lately on my quest for a trimmer waist and firmer thighs.....OK...I REALLY want to get the weight off for good...all of it. It's mid-February, and while I am absolutely committed to good health...UGGG...this is taking all of my patience!
I really, really, really could use a pick-me-up right now. I was thinking sunshine, but I don't think that is every going to happen here. HOWEVER, last week I received something in the mail that surprised me as much as seeing the sun in Michigan - It Works! Body Wraps.
You need to know, I did agree to review It Works!, but I am HIGHLY skeptical. Truth be told, I was already dreading writing a negative review. I really thought that the product wouldn't work for me, because I just don't have that luck.
After showering, and drying off thoroughly last Saturday, I got ready to test the wrap. First, and this is really important-I measured my abdomen 3 times. I wanted the tension to be precise, and the spot to be accurate. Then, I applied the wrap, which covered my entire front and then some, and smoothed it out, just as instructed. After that, I applied a layer of plastic wrap tightly around the wrap to hold it in place. Then, just to be give a little extra, I put on some really tight spandex undies. I grabbed a big glass of water, and set the timer for 45 minutes.
I thought I would get itchy, but, I didn't! I felt fine just sitting there, watching a little TV and relaxing (still thinking about it couldn't possibly work for me). I was completely enjoying the scent too. The time went by quickly, and I was ready to see the results. As I peeled off and unwrapped, I remember for a flash, thinking, "what if all of my stretchmarks were gone?" That didn't happen, but what did happen actually made my day brighter-I measured, measured, and re-measured, and I actually lost a half an inch! WHAT? FOR REAL? Yes, for real. Ok, I am still skeptical, so I waited....3 days. I measured myself every day for 3 days, and that half inch is gone. On top of that, I do feel a little more smooth and toned.
I will never stop working out and eating healthy....there is nothing that makes me feel better. But, last week, I got just a little pick me up from a surprising source.
