I Feel Pretty oh so Pretty

I'm a strong believer of beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

For me a girl to be beautiful, has to have curly hair, should have great calves and biceps. By calves and biceps I don't mean the body builder type, but more like a defined shape.

So I was all into getting biceps myself. So I started lifting weights. Shekar guided me through this whole process. He showed me the correct way to lift them, the way to stand when I lifted and all.

So I would lift weights, started with 8 pounds, moved to 10, then 12 and finally 15. So I started seeing the shape on my arms and I was a very happy person. I would flex my muscles and show them off to Shekar. I did this for almost a month and whola, I was pretty according to me.

Then one day, I was getting ready for an occasion and I decide to wear saree and then the unthinkable happened. The blouse for the saree doesn't fit me anymore, because of my newly existing biceps. Since all my blouses are the same measurement, this meant, none of them are going to fit.

So I have decided that I do not want biceps anymore I just wanna wear my sarees.

Hopefully this happens soon as I love wearing sarees.

Me to Shekar: What should I lift for my biceps to go away?

silverine said...

lol that was a good question!!!

When I went to the gym people grinned beacuse I am slim, but the instructor told them that even slim people need to keep their bodies well toned. Now my exercise is mostly walks which is more of a hobby than an exercise :)

Archana said...

LOL :-D! Kinda late to point out but started with 8 pounds, moved to 10, then 12 and finally 15 seems to be on the heavy side! Stick to 3/5 pounds from now on...

And felt really good to read a girl say I was pretty according to me. - girls usually are never satisified with the way they look. Way to go, girl :-)!

I don't think that is gonna work.
Yesterday Shekar was watching TV and I asked him to come and pick up the canister with Atta, he didn't look that happy.

$educatedunemployed
I still go run on treadmill just no weights.

$Immigrant in Canada

$neihal
I don't eat that much sweet stuff, but fried in grease kind of stuff.. oh bring it on. Like Banana Chips.. oh yeah.

$silverine
Here during winter it gets dark hence stopped walking, now just run on treadmills.

$Alexis Leon
But I wanted nice good looking, eye turning biceps.
Not any more so just running these days.

You laugh at the plight of this simple human.

$Archana
I do feel very comfortable by my looks. Not that I'm really pretty (by other’s views), its just that I can not do anything about it, so I try not to worry about it.
