I had a cheat weekend, haha. I was on my period and craving every bad food imaginable, and I let myself indulge. But today I was back on track for sure. It was actually the first day since I've been sick where I felt like I had the sustained energy to get through a workout. I did the 30 day shred and it really tired me out, but I got through it. I also ate very healthy today. I know I gained a few pounds the past few days, but hopefully they'll be off soon.
I had someone comment that I looked good this weekend. My cousin, who I don't see very often, said that I was looking great. It made me feel pretty good about myself since people can notice a difference in the way that I look. I think it gave me extra motivation to keep going - because who knows what kind of compliments I'll get when I'm down 30, 40, 50lbs.
Amanda and I are signing up for booty camp which I'm looking forward to. I hope it'll kick our asses. Maybe it'll be what I need to help me reach 175lbs by the end of August. If I combine it with eating healthy (and from not until the end of August I only have one foreseeable occasion where I may not eat completely healthy) and doing the shred + normal cardio on non-booty camp days, I feel like I'll reach my goal. I'm going to stay positive about this. I also can't wait to get my pedicure so I'm doing my best to drop the few extra pounds until I read 180. I found this old notebook of mine and I found a piece of paper I wrote on in the summer of 2007. It was about my weight - I had recorded my weight along with the exercises I had done that day. I was 177.4lbs - at this point I had gained most of the weight I had lost back. So it makes me very optimistic because once I reach 175lbs, it'll be the smallest I've been in 4 years. I'll have no choice but to keep going after that because I'll be so happy with my progress.
On the studying side of things, I did an entire practice LSAT today under timed conditions. I got a 178. It's kind of crazy thinking about it because only like, 1% of test takes score that high on the actual test. I know I'll get lower on the actual test just because of the pressure of test day and anxiety and all that, but if I can get at least a 170 I'll be so happy. I still need to make an appointment with the bank though to see if I can get the money for law school. I also need to start writing my personal statements very soon - likely later this week. I sent off some emails to old professors about writing recommendation letters for me and I think I've found two great profs who will write me one - I hope so anyway because I'm not sure who else I'd ask. It'll be such a relief to get that out of the way.
All in all, I've had a pretty productive day and I'm happy about it.
