Good Week.

I weighed myself yesterday morning and I'm 180.5lbs! It means all my hard work has been paying off. I know I'm behind but if I can lose at least 15lbs more before Christmas, I will be in good shape. Even if I'm 140lbs before I go to law school... as long as I'm lean, I'll be happy. I think that's the main thing I need to think about - it's not necessarily about the number on the scale, but about how many inches I lose and how lean I am. Because if I'm a bit heavier but it's all muscle - then who cares, right?

This week, my gym routine consisted of:

Monday - Physique
Tuesday - BodyART
Wednesday - break
Thursday - Body Sculpt

I was going to go to Ballet today but I'm really not feeling well. My stomach really hurts and I haven't eaten anything because of it. Tomorrow I'll try to at least work out at home before I go into work. Sunday I'll either work out at home or go to the gym. Next week instead of body sculpt I'm trying design method too, which I'm really excited about. Kelly and Kirsten have been coming to the gym with me which is nice. I think next week on Tuesday, Kelly and I are going to do anti-gravity yoga for an hour then do the BodyART class. So even though it's yoga, at least I'll be doing 2 hours on Tuesday.

Last week when I was in NY, I bought a bunch of clothes that are too small. My goal is to lose 10lbs and fit into these. I think one of them will still be tight when I've lost 10lbs, but that's just incentive to lose more. I also bought a dress I want to wear on Christmas.

Adorable, right? The picture doesn't do it justice because it's the most adorable dress ever and so my style. It fits but I don't like how it looks on me right now because there's a little too much belly action going on. If I can lose 15lbs, I definitely think I can rock this dress. So that's why I'm working really hard, because I don't want to waste this dress. Isn't it so little girl-ish/old lady-ish at the same time? It's so adorable, haha. I'm so determined to wear it.

I've been eating well for the most part. Not as many veggies as I should be eating but I'll try to change that. And usually when I work at the bar, I have the dessert they serve (crepes with vanilla ice cream and strawberries) because you need a little pick me up. Thankfully they're small, and I usually don't eat the dinner there because it's too bad for me... so it evens out, maybe? I usually bring some fruit to snack on but I don't always have time to snack, especially at weddings that keep the bar open during dinner. But we'll see, and I'll try my hardest to be good this weekend.

I think that's it for now. And thanks so much to everyone who reads this and bugs me to write. So many people I wouldn't expect to read this do and it really does motivate me to keep going because I don't want to disappoint anyone, and most of all, I don't want to disappoint myself.
