June 7th Weigh In

oh, my god. Why don't I effing touch up my toes before I take these pictures? Ugh! 
But anyway. I'm all in all pretty pleased today! It's annoying that the number on the scale isn't budging, but it's so encouraging that I've lost a half inch off my waist in the last month! 
And I mean- scales are so fickle. It's the measurements & the way your clothes are fitting that are the right way to track your progress anyway. 

I'm actually considering knocking my weigh ins down to once a month as it is a bit of a stress & I'm on a whole body positive kick right now & scales are kind of dicks sometimes, ya know?

Can we talk about these Michelle Obamas real quick? (If you're new- I call nice lady arms Michelle Obamas, because she is my bicep role model) 
I was considering gong to yoga today, but the mere thought of it hurts. 
On Wednesday I went to an X FIT class at Beyond Fit. The X FIT class is described as a "High Interval Training Depletion". 



So, like let me set up the flow of this class for you. First, you start out on the TRX chords. (Christ, I love the TRX training. I'm honestly trying to figure out where I could set some up in my apartment. No where. They would fit nowhere is the answer my apartment is giving me) .
 So, we do a low row on the TRX chords for 45 seconds. Then you have a 15 second transition into the next work out. There are 4 workouts- all challenging- done in 45 second increments & you do the circuit 6 times & by the time you get to the last round you. are. depleted. 
And though it was a total body workout- my poor little arms are in pain. I mean, I like feeling sore because I like knowing that my I'm getting stronger, but.. but. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh. 
Like, it sucks just to raise my arms above my head. So, the thought of doing planks or crow or any other arm strengthening yoga stance sounds like holy good god hell right now. 

So, I may just try spin again today.

So, let's talk about my weekend. It's my sister's bachelorette party this weekend & I'm sure it's going to be a blast, but I am getting worried about my self control. 
I keep telling myself that I can have fun & still make smart decisions, but as I've mentioned before.....

this pretty much sums it up
Steve has told me just to not worry & have fun, but when I don't worry & just let my drunk munchies run unattended... well... (see above)
If things just get too out of control, I may try to do some sort of cleanse next week. Just to get my damn head back in the game. 

So, anyway... I don't know how to end this now. 
So, I'll do this

okay bye!

Your Michelle Obamas make my arms feel like they are Hillary Clintons at best. Also, just have fun and then do the cleanse (what's the point in a special occasion if it's no different from the day-to-day?)!
