Sarah's gonna lose it!

oi so last week was ultra indulgent for me. (my weeks start on Thursday)

The tornado had me stress eating that one night, and St Patrick's day invovled lots of green cupcakes and beer... and bailey's. Luckily I haven't seemed to have gained anything... yet. I've got a date with the lap pool tomorrow, though, and I'm back on track.

it's the first time I've gone over my points, though. Flex points and regular daily points. Weight watchers reduced my daily points by one, and I earn less when I work out. Kinda dissapointing (I liked being able to have an extra snack on work out days!), but it's encouraging at the same time. Because my same old workout only earns me two points (as opposed to the five) then I have to mix it up, like swimming!

I went shopping yesterday for spring clothes! I fit nicely in mediums and 8s, and I'm hoping by the end of the summer when it's time to go shopping again Ill be going for 6s.
 
Well I'm wearing a new top today- designed to be loose fitting. It's cotton so I figured it would shrink a little when I bought it. I'm wearing a pair of khakis that are now falling off of me (they used to be glued on) and I look like I'm drowning in clothes.

I'm LOVING it. I might have to head to Plato's Closet and find some new ones! People keep telling me how thin I'm looking. It's great! Especially since I'm trying to bounce back from my week of eating.

My friend Melissa takes a pilates class, and I'm going to go with her next week. What a great way to mix up my work out. I went swimming yesterday, and today I plan on taking the boyfriend and the dog out for a long walk around a trail. I need to get back up to Stone Mountain. I will soon I hope!

Anyway, I'm trying to cook more to keep my eating on track. Really right now I'm focusing on exercise. I hope the steady weight loss keeps up! If it does... I'll be at my goal in a few months. Right at bathing suit season!
 
oh gosh guys I fell off the wagon. Easter candy is everywhere! It's gotten cold again, so I haven't felt like taking the dog out or going to the gym.

I'm feeling discouraged and lazy and like I've undone my months of progress, like I'll get on the scale and it'll be at 165 again. I know that's not true, but I haven't been on the scale and I haven't really made any healthy decisions lately. I really need to snap back into reality! I just don't know what happened to my go-getter attitude!
 
Ok. I think I've figured out how to keep myself motivated.

Keep myself accountable.

I know. Duh. But when I started, I was blogging here every day. That kept my focus during my work days, which carried over to the weekends. I think I just need to keep that up! I'm going to try.

Anyway, I took pilates with my friend. I am officially incredibly sore. The guy who ran the class was definitely serious about it! My abs, legs, arms, butt... all sore from a good workout. I think I'm going to rest for a few days and try again!
 
OK so I haven't been posting daily, but I have been GENERALLY keeping on track. Honestly I blame a lot of my workout sluggishness on my schedule, and seriously, that might be the problem. With these overnights there's absolutely no way to get a regular routine going, and motivating myself from scratch is next to impossible when I want to sleep all the time.

BUT I am digging up the eternal optimism that things will change soon. I am certainly hoping so! I've found a great dance studio near by that offers awesome classes that mix up workouts for me- not just elliptical and treadmill anymore, baby!

I took a pilates class and was SO SORE the next day, and next week I'm using my "newbie trial" classes to take a cardio burn class, dance, and hip hop. That is, if I can walk after the Burn class. I might be so sore all I want to do is lay around!

I put on a bikini the other day. The weather is nice so I thought I'd give it a shot. Honestly, it didn't look that bad. EVERYONE has been telling me how great I look. I'd totally wear it now, but of course your eye is always the harshest. I do see lots of areas that need work. So I'm gonna work on them!

Keep your fingers crossed for my schedule, though. I think the day shift will do a lot for my motivation and overall happiness. :)
