Week 7 of the Spring Break Bikini Challenge

I lost 2.8 lbs this week! Shut the front door! SO super excited! I have 6.7 more lbs to go to reach my goal! I can't believe I've come this far. 33.4 lbs in about 17-18 weeks. This is the last week of the challenge. Some of the ladies have said they want another challenge right after, with a week off. I'm not sure I'll do the next one. $20 isn't that much money, but we are saving up for a trip to Disney around Christmas time and could really use the $20 to be put in our trip fund. We'll see...might scrounge up the money to participate to keep me accountable until summer.
I'm in second place on this challenge and I'm pretty pumped about that. $320 would be AWESOME right now to buy some new clothes for my new, skinnier, body! :-)
I am still craving some wings from Wild Wing Cafe, but I will not "treat" myself to them. I will see if hubby wants a date night and that can be where we go. I really want to go out and get some cute dresses for this spring/summer. Today I'm wearing a MEDIUM dress I bought from American Eagle (and yes I can wear it today because the temp is in the 70's) and I'm loving it. I still have the feeling of "holy crap I don't think I should be wearing this size" mentality, but I did ask my husband how it looked before I went downstairs and he said I looked great. And believe me he would tell me. He's really honest with me about what I wear, if asked that is. :-)
I can't remember if I mentioned in my posts before that I bought a new bathing suit. The one in the earlier pictures got TOO BIG! So I returned it. :-) YEEESSSS! (Imagine me doing a small fist pump in the air)
I will try to blog more, I'm still getting kind of used to it. And want to do more.
Hope everyone has a great week! And cross your fingers for me to win this challenge this weekend! :-)

Spring Break Bikini Challenge Week 6

Who's in the 140's?!?!?!?!?? THIS GIRL! That's right! Imagine me doing a little "jig" in my bathroom when I saw that number on the scale. I haven't been in the 140's in YEARS!! Like before I got married 10 years ago! I'm down another 1.8 lbs making that a total of (drumroll please) 30.4 lbs!! Woot woot! I'm so excited I can't stand it! The ladies at my kids' daycare have commented on how I look which is amazing. I'm still kind of shy about the comments of "You look great!" "You look awesome!" but I am starting to say really acknowledge it because of the numbers.
I have been sick the past several weeks. Just went to the doc about it Tuesday though. And I am on the line with bronchitis. I was given a Zpack and it is knocking it out. I haven't been able to run and finish my Couch to 5K app (I only had 2 weeks left!). I did sign up for the Flowertown Festival 5K this weekend a while ago and I still plan on doing it but probably will not be able to run the whole thing. But I'm fine with that. There are TONS of 5Ks around here that I can sign up for when I'm ready to run one. I did run for about 10 minutes last night at the gym and was finally able to get a really good workout in without feeling like my chest was going to cave in or just stop because of pure exhaustion. I feel like my health is looking up so that means my weightloss will too! I have 9.5 lbs to go to reach my "written" goal....of course my internal goal is 5 more lbs on top of that! ;-)
