Weekly Weigh-In


This week was definitely a good one. For one, aunt flo came! Secondly, I started my Zumba class.... which I absolutely LOVE, and thirdly, I went back to work. No gym time, but a lot of walking. I'm still doing the 2-3 miles a day, but this time I am increasing my pace.... the faster I move the more calories are burnt AND that usually revs up my metabolism. :) Any who, the results are in:

Previous Weight: 192 lbs
Current Weight: 189.4 lbs
Loss/Gain: -2.6 lbs

I am very happy. My hard work and healthier food choices have certainly benefited me. I can't wait for fall so I can get my heart pumping even more by doing more hikes. Yeah Boy!!! Hahaha. . . I can be such a dork sometimes :)

My new goal for the week: 187.4 lbs.

I am so excited and proud of myself. I love seeing the scale go down. I know at some point I'll plateu again, but that's cool. It happens. I'm just happy to see improvements in the meantime. Oh, I'll probably update this post later with my new measurements... it's that time again :).

So here are the results:

                                

I began taking my measurements about two weeks ago to see how my body was changing. In just two weeks It appears that I lost 1.5" from my arms, my boobs got 1" bigger (Thank you Aunt Flo), I also lost .5" from my thighs, .75" from my calfs, and 1.25" from my abdomen. For a little less than two weeks that's pretty good :). I'll be measuring myself once a month from now on. By the way, the app I used for the measurements is BodyShot.

A date you'd like to go on.

HmMmMMmMmm.... I would love to go on a date through Italy. Just the hubs and I. Seeing all the beauty Italy has to offer. Dining at a nice, but casual restaurant and dancing the night away. I see us staying up past midnight just gazing at the view...

30 Day Challenge-Day 12


Things you want to say to an ex.

Hmmmm. I've been blessed. I don't recall having any horrible ex stories to tell. However, two of them do come to mind. And all I want to say is "THANK YOU!"

The first we'll call "Green Eyes." Why, well he had the most gorgeous green eyes! lol. He was my "primer amor." My High School love. We were together for years. Inseparable really. Because of him I never doubted myself through high school. He really took care of me and was there when I needed him. We broke up after HS jokingly. Really, it was stupid and for a while I regretted starting that joke, but I know see that things happen for a reason and well, we're both happy now. But really I don't think I ever got the chance to thank him for being a true gentleman and showing me what love was.

The second I'd like to say thank you to is "Bad Boy." We were together a few months. He was the complete opposite of "green eyes." He was more adventurous and really trouble just followed him. However, he was a good person on the inside. We would go hiking for hours and then go play at the arcades just because. I had so much fun with him. I felt alive and up for anything. Seriously, he asked me to marry him, but I couldn't do it. I loved how he made me feel, but I knew I wasn't ready. Sadly, I ended it with him, but he came into my life at a time of uncertainty in which I was barely getting over the ex and he managed to help me move on. I thank him for his wonderful sense of adventure and awesome spirit.

I know what your thinking... what no drama? hahahah No really, there was here and there, but at this point in my life the drama isn't worth mentioning. These two guys made me happy at the time we were together and for one reason or another we aren't together anymore. It's for the better. I'm happy now.
