Ohmygolly can it get any crazier?!?! Yes? Please don't tell me how, thanks. It's been crazy enough!
Okay...how to even recap this past month...
Honestly, I don't even know if I can. So much has been going on in my life that it seems not only did this month fly by, but my sanity went with it. *waves good-bye to sanity*
Okay...trying to stay on the positive side:
NSVs
1. I am OFFICIALLY 25 lbs down!!!!!! Less than 100 to go! WOOHOO!!
2. I went clothes shopping in my closet again. :) It was lovely. The pile of jeans that don't fit, or were given to me, is getting smaller. My goodwill pile is getting larger. I have no complaints over this. Except...I might need more closet space. lol But this also means that I will be working on sewing projects almost all weekend, trying to turn my somewhat big jeans on me into capris to wear and get dirty in at all our field trips.
3. I once again went shopping at Old Navy...and can fit into an XL in workout pants. Just the fact that I can now go shopping at Old Navy!!!!!!!!!! (Remember, peeps, my bday is coming up! lol <---shameless hint)
4. I tried cardio bag (aka krav maga boxing lol) for the first time! I actually went to a class!!!! And I thoroughly enjoyed it. I kicked my butt within 15 minutes, but I did ALL OF IT!!! And it felt soooo good!!!
5. I actually have stuck with the trainer's plan...even though I wanted to increase the weights, because I like weights. That's a huge victory. But she also threatened to take the weights away if I didn't listen....so.....I listened. lol (She increased my cardio, and decreased my weights...I was sad. Very, very, VERY sad.)
6. Speaking of trainer, I actually worked out alongside her. And. she. killed. me. LOL But I did the ab routine!!! And now I'm gettin' pretty darn good at it, despite thepain soreness.
7. Still eating healthy! And have come to hate the way my body feels after eating unhealthy/junk food. No bueno for me. No bueno. (Thanks for letting me steal your phrase, Christine! lol)
8. This has nothing to do w/ weight loss, but kinda does: I am experiencing some amazing freedom in my life. Confronting things. Just...amazing. And God is doing amazing things.
It's a short list this month, but I've gotta get ready to head back to work!
Here are some pics! :)
