24TH BIRTHDAY!!

So...yesterday was my 24th birthday!! Yay!!

I wish I had more to post about it...but I was actually still sick :-(. However, I got to spend the day resting on the couch with True Life on my TV, something I enjoyed greatly. And I AM feeling better today. Saturday will be the real night out, so I'll def have some pictures to post then & hopefully a better update.

Some things I hope to achieve this year:
-GRADUATION
-Feel better about my body
-Spend more time with family & friends

These are the biggies that I'm excited for. So far, things are looking really good. I feel really good about my diet since discovering how much money I can save by shopping at Aldi, and graduation is getting closer by the day...SUPER exciting.

Hopefully I'll feel better by Saturday!! Look for a fun post around then!!

Weigh-In

So, originally I wasn't going to weigh-in today since yesterday was my birthday and I was planning to just kinda relax and enjoy myself. But I'm proud to say that I still ate pretty well yesterday & kept myself in check. I remembered that I can eat the foods I like every now and then, I just have to be careful of portion size.

So I stepped on the scale this morning and read 273.5! Now on my official weigh-ins on here, that shows I gained half a pound...but in reality, all week I've been weighing in at the 278-279. So I was MORE than happy to see 273.5!!

I'm ready to get on track & stay there. I can see my body & how it's changing...and for me, there's no better inspiration than that.

Well, I'm off to two tests then NAPTIME!! Yay!! D.C. in the morning!! Can't wait--but tonight, we're gonna party it up for my 23rd birthday (plus a drop by to one of my bestie's 21st birthdays!!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! :-D

I turned 23 today!! That seems SO old for some reason...maybe because I'm still in undergrad? I don't know. Haha...but I'm happy to know I've made it this far & am looking forward to a wonderful day. Out to dinner at CHEESECAKE FACTORY (my favorite restaurant!!) with the roomies...then tomorrow we're really gonna celebrate (Fall Break starts...so no classes to worry about Thursday!!)

That being said...I'm going to enjoy myself today. I'm going to enjoy eating some of the foods I don't eat very often & just relaxing. I'm going to get a drink & not think about any extra calories. I'm going to get my slice of cheesecake because it's my birthday & I deserve it!!

I definitely think this is the one time of year that it's okay to be a little naughty ;-)

P.S. For those of you who have done the 30-Day Shred...how heavy were the hand weights you used?? I can't decide on how heavy I should get them...

Burned Out

I have nothing to post...just thought I'd let everyone know I am still alive. I'm just super burned out & can't wait for a break. I head up to D.C. on Thursday, so it will be a much needed mini vacation by the time it rolls away. Plus I turn 23 on Tuesday--that's ridiculous by the way. I don't think of myself as 23 at all. Oh well...guess it had to happen sometime.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I'll try to post more this week.

xoxo
