I always do this I'm not sure why, but if you have happened to have stumbled upon this blog in search of perhaps Sixties Pin Up girl photos, or exercise-fanatic-tip-thingies, welcome. This is shape up, and the reason the url is sixtiestomodern is because, as you can see from the photo, Sixties ladies knew how to be fabulous and voluptuous at the same time. Of course, this was decades ago before I was born (sigh), and thats no longer in style. Now its all skinny minnies, big sunglasses, and little bigeared dogs. And though I long for the sixties, more than I can say, I do feel self conscious, surrounded by my particular friends (perfect girls who happen to be both beautiful in their minds and hearts as well as their bodies and faces. Lucky ducks!). Its most likely that no one will read this blog, but I've heard that if you have a trainer or someone to work with you, you have more motivation. All my friends insist that I'm not fat, and its true I'm not, but I'm not where I'd like to be (curves, without the huge butt and chipmunk cheeks). And I like to do things by myself, so I've decided this is the best option: relate everything I do to my Bloggie, and see where I am in six weeks. Plus, summer is a long way off! Maybe I'll actually make my itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny-yellow-polka-dot-bikini-time goal this year! Whoooooooooo :)
So welcome to Shape Up blog a la Lady Nonchalant. See ya next time.
