This Is Saturday's & Sunday's Post

Saturday 8 AM

So, as you can see, I've been slacking again on the posts. That's because I've assumed the position of full on grown up life for a couple days. I have house responsibilities, animal responsibilities, and food/cleaning responsibilities, and apparently, after all that, I am too exhausted to blog, so I just go to bed. I'm house sitting  which means after I get off work (at 6 pm or 7 pm, depends on the day), I go out to the farm, feed the cows, come home and feed the dog and the cat, take a shower, and make food for myself (plus laundry or dishes if I make them). After all that I've decided I don't want to be a grown up. I want my own house, and I want to have kids, but I kind of like having time for myself and that definitely won't happen if I'm a grown up so, I've decided not to be one.

Nothing too drastic has happened in the last couple days. I eat the way I normally do, body by vi shakes, healthy choice meals, fruits, and I made ravioli and meatballs last night so that's what I'll have today for lunch too. I have kind of decided that I have been focusing too much on my weight--the numbers on the scale. Instead of weigh in every Wednesday, I'll weigh in every two Wednesdays. I see the numbers on the scale decreasing, and it gives me this preconceived notion that my body needs to be changing rapidly with it--however when I look in the mirror, my stomach looks flabby as ever, and my inner thighs don't seem to be getting any smaller. So I want to go a week without worrying about how much I weigh, and then that way the next week when I do weigh in, I will be surprised (hopefully). It's just that I know after my first ten pounds it's not going to be as easy to lose weight, and I don't want to get discouraged.

I'm also going to be smushing Saturday's post and Sunday's post into one. I feel like when I am consistent in blogging, I blog A LOT, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I really do love it, and I LOOOOOVE it when people read, and comment (hint hint), but I don't want to get burnt out on it.

Sunday I don't know what time...
Today went pretty good. Protein bar for breakfast, I got a salad at work (which probably wasn't very healthy considering I put ranch on it). I tried getting the raspberry vinaigrette...but I'm addicted to the restaurant's ranch. It's like crack. Anyways, for dinner the hubby and I went to our friends and cooked out--barbecue chicken, baked beans, and macaroni salad. It was good--probably not that great for me but I will consider it my cheat without really cheating. I wasn't eating some greasy fast food cheese burger or anything so I justify it. It was a great weekend, and now I'm ready for another week ahead of me. I've been kind of slacking of with the calorie counting and the blogging, but I'm getting back on the horse this week.

There's no weigh in to look forward to, so I can't be slipping off my game because I have over a week before weigh in and I'm going to want to see better results. I just don't want all my focus to be on my weight. I am fitting into my older clothes GREAT! A guy that I work with commented on how much weight I've lost (which honestly kind of embarrassed me), and I feel great about myself. So whether I'm losing tons of weight or not, I think that's all that matters.



Here's some fitness motivation for ya:)
