Happy Friday! Yahoo for a week of paid vacation!  Beyond excited.  So that means I won't be posting any blog entries till at least July 9th when I get back to work.  No computer at home. :(  But anyhoo.... about that shame report...

An act of God made me binge eat Thursday night.  It was out of my control, I swear!  Ladies... you know what I'm talkin' bout.  I started off okay.  6 inch tuna sandwich on wheat from Subway,  I get it plain too, but immediately after it was consumed I was starving again!  So I went home and made myself a jack cheese quesadilla using one whole wheat tortilla.  Again, not soooo bad.  Then I had a piece of pizza.  And honestly it was tiny too but yeah, eating all three together... That was a problem.  In the vein of honesty, I'll admit that it had a seriously bad effect on my weight.  Last night I weighed in at... oh God I really don't want to tell you... *sigh* 137!!!!!  Gah!!! Talk about a shame spiral!  This morning I was back down to 133, thank the Lord.  So today I am being strict.  We did work out last night and I rode my bike to work today for the 3rd time this week.  Our parents are coming over tonight for dinner to celebrate my birthday.  I'm having chicken and by God,  I will not have cake and ice cream.  So at this point it doesn't look like I'll reach my goal of being under 130 by 30.  I'd have to lose 3 lbs by tomorrow morning.  I guess it could  happen, but I'm not getting my hopes up.  The good news is we're just over halfway done with our 90 day challenge so I'm confident I can reach the mid 120's by the end.  I just gotta get back into gear.  Beast mode. ;) 

Meanwhile! (Sorry, I'm excited) I posted this pic yesterday on my Facebook page for Throwback Thursday.

Prom, junior year, 16 years old

That dress is a size four and I still have it.  (I was hoping to have a daughter to pass it down to but that didn't happen)  Out of curiosity I tried it on this morning and guess what!  It fits!!!

Didn't do my prom hair or makeup obvs ;)

I think it looks even better now, in fact, since I have curves!  Now I just need to find an opportunity to wear it out somewhere.  Anyone throwing a gala? LOL

Have a wonderful weekend and 4th of July everyone!
See ya!

And what a happy Monday it is!

No, not really. lol  Nothing bad has happened, I'm just feeling... Meh.  You know how it is.  Bored at work.  However it could be worse like my friend Courtney who impaled her hand on a note spike this morning.  Ouchy.  So I guess I can't really complain. 

Friday was awesome!  We had a crawfish boil and campout at our friends house.  The boys got to swim and we cooked and had a wonderful time.  I liked the crawfish but they're kind of a pain to eat.  Tasted yummy tho.  We ordered the little suckers from the Louisiana Crawfish Company in... you guessed it, Louisiana!  You should check out their site, it's pretty cool what you can get delivered.  They were alive too! 

Hello little fella!

For some reason Chris thought he had to cut off his jeans and wear a cowboy hat for a crawfish boil... Don't they look manly? lol

The kids were so intrigued.

Last week I hit a goalpost on my diet which was getting into the 120's.  I was 129.8 last Thursday.  Yahoo!  Now if I could only stay there! lol  I'm 130 even this morning which isn't bad considering the weekends are usually mean and Monday's weigh-ins are usually way higher than Fridays.  Also considering the fact that I had a sliver (seriously it shouldn't even count as a slice) of pizza at Tom's Farms yesterday... and a tiny bowl of ice cream.  But but but... um... my sister in law was visiting from up north with my nieces so I just had to celebrate with yummy food!!  Are you convinced? Yeah, me neither.  Okay! So I broke down, I admit it.  I still did my shakes for breakfast and lunch though so I'm sure that helped.  Only 5 days till D-Day, which is to say my 30th birthday.  Gotta work out like a monster this week and get down a few more lbs.  Ah, the dream of actually residing in the 120's is within my reach!!! 

Motivation!!!  And no I still haven't cleaned my scale.

Have a wonderful week everyone! I'm sure I'll do another pre-birthday post on Friday, so stay tuned!

Hey guys!
    Soooo I'm out of product (Body by Visalus). Gah!  My shipment isn't going out until tomorrow either!  I haven't had a shake since Sunday but luckily my weight hasn't gone up.  Bad time to take last week off of working out after being so unhealthy on our Palm Springs trip.  We finally started working out again last night though.  We lifted weights (and yes I mean on a weight bench with a big ol' pole with weights on it) and then we did our ab routine which I got from Pinterest.  Here's that link: http://pinterest.com/pin/30047522486583392/  It seems simple enough but boy it gets pretty hard on the 3rd rep.  My abs are nice and sore today too.  Oh it hurts so good. ;)  And we've been staying pretty active too, pulling weeds, going for walks, etc.  We took the boys and Presley the dog to the park up the hill from us, which is a really great hike.  This picture was taken by my 5 year old, Dylan.

I think he may have a future in photography! He got my good angle. ;)

Can't wait to get my product. :(  I'm eating a banana for breakfast this week and having a small salad for lunch.  I'm being a little more strict on my dinners until I get my shakes too, just in case.  Don't wanna back-slide!  Meanwhile, I've gotten 3 more people signed up for the Challenge so far and I can't wait to see their journeys!!!  Go people, go! ;)

Have a great week everyone!
