As most of you know I've been going to the gym everymorning. As a result, there has been a decent amount of weight loss, coupled with the idea of using makeup each day, there have been some great changes in my looks, (yeah you should have seen me before this, :thumbsdn: Not good at all.
I use a shear foundation that gives just a bit of color to me and clear mascara, along with a lipstick from L'Oreal that matches my exact color, so it's hardly noticeble to anybody.
Now, Ive been doing this for about 4 months and everybody I meet who knows me has commented that I look much better and that "going to the gym" seems to make me look younger, and more healthy. (little do they know)
Anyhow the point here is: Last evening I went to my grandsons soccer game. Not having loads of time to "put on a fresh face" I jumped into the shower to wash off the dirt of the day, and just put on a "T" shirt, a pair of track pants and some sneakers. I saw one of the Mothers from last years team, and while talking and catching up on things that have happened over the last year, she asked me if I had lost weight. I told her that in fact I had lost about 40 pounds. Her next question just floored me.
"That's a healthy loss? Are you doing O.K.?"
She's worried that I'm healthy. Everybody else has said I look "hot". So, ...I must have looked ghastly without makeup. The lesson here ladies, is....Makeup, never leave home without it.
