157.4

Slowly inching toward the finish line. Emphasis: SLOWLY

IMPORTANT

We all need to get together for something fun!! Maybe a healthy dinner?? We can do homemade (I <3 Cooking) or go out somewhere-where no one will make you feel pressured to eat the amazing dessert or have empty calorie drinks or will make fun of you for eating salad! :)

Spring Break Bust!!

Too much beer and too many shots and too much dessert crushed my weight loss this week! Uh oh! Gained 1.6!!! BUT here is the thing that might not make it all that bad (maybe?)...I wore a dress with flip flops to weigh in. Without socks or tights. Health department rules: cannot stand on a public scale barefoot! So, I had to weigh in wearing flip flops. And not the Old Navy lightweight ones. These were from NY&Co and probably weight a few more oz/lb than I would have if I were wearing nylons. Next time I will remember. OH shoot, I just remembered I had a pair of knee highs in my car I could've put on. Oh well. I guess that means, if it was in fact the flip flops that added to my weight, then next week I will lose more!

-12.6 lbs

I dropped 3.2 this week, putting me at 158.6 :) I'm pretty excited about it. 8.6 till I get back to my "normal" weight...then on to the big push. So yay. good week!

Lost 5%!

I ended up losing 2.2 lbs this past week, but I'll admit it was *not* the healthiest way. I went way over my points earlier in the week, so my last 2 days I ate a total of 16.5 points...when I'm supposed to have 23 each day. So yes, I am now at 161.8, which is great, but if I eat normally this week, I won't be surprised if I don't lose anything when I weigh in next week. But, I have officially lost 5% (9.4 lbs) which is pretty exciting! Next goal, 10% (17 lbs) aka 7.6 lbs. I'm currently averaging 1.6 lbs lost per week, which would mean it would take me another month+ to get there. I'm hoping to stick with my points and lose 2lbs a week (which is healthy) but we will seeeeee.

Highs & Lows

High: I just realized my current weight, 164, is now a healthy weight for my height! Very exciting, but not enough for me. :) I was measured for my MOH dress for my sisters wedding back in January-first she wanted to size me at 14, then redid it and my size was 12. I got resized yesterday, and my new size is a 10! My goal is to be a size 6 for the wedding...hence the size 6 challenge. We shall see! lol I don't even know what size my goal weight (140) would put me...I hope it is a 6!

Lows: I'm glad my time line to reach my goals is August!!! I thought I was doing well this week, but I was wrong. Not having my points tracker tool with me on my retreat on Saturday killed me. I ate a piece of carrot cake. Carrot cake has 16 points!!!!! To put that in perspective, I'm only supposed to have 23 points per day. Ugh. Also, went out w/EC on Saturday night and drank...and then ate pizza rolls. Guess who woke up Sunday morning with 0 points left for the day. Lucky me. Then I went to the mall w/my family after dress fitting, and ate Teriyaki Chicken. At least I split that with my mom. Needless to say, I am so beyond my weekly points limit :( I'm hoping today & tomorrow to eat less than 23 points to maybe make up for eating those extra points.

UGH I hate being fat!

Working It Out

So although I haven't been eating quite the way I should YET I have been working out a whole lot! I have been running at least 30 minutes at least three days a week. I love it. It helps me clear my head and makes me feel better about life! :) PS pretty sure I gained weight this week...cupcakes are my weakness!

+ 0.2 :(

BIRTHDAY. CAKE.
