As you may have noticed, I did not weigh in this week. 
And if you did not notice & you are a first time visitor, Hi! I'm Katy &  I didn't weigh in on Friday. 

In my ongoing crusade for body positivity (a concept that, sadly, just dawned on me like last week) stepping on a scale after the previous week did not seem like something nice to do to myself. 
While I am still maintaining my goals, still striving for that last goddamn 8 pounds to disappear, I think I need a little more analytical- nicer- approach to it sometimes. 

You think- "yes! Step on that damn scale. If you're not at a loss from last week it will be motivation to do better, goddamnit. I will do all the squaaaats"
& sometimes that is the result. 

But sometimes the result is "oh. I didn't lose any weight this week. I need some sadness cake"

So, please allow me to tell you why I didn't weigh in this week in list form:
  • white wine
  • 2 cupcakes
  • ice cream
  • red wine
  • half of a Nutella doughnut (fuuuuuck)
  • Frozen mojitos 
  • portobello alfredo (also, fuuuuuck. There has to be a healthy-ish version of this. I will find it & I will make the FUCK out of it) 
  • vodka
  • cheesecake. 
  • I think that's it, but there was a lot of alcohol in there, so I can't be 100% certain
  • oh, shit. I just remembered pizza

So, yeah. I've been kind of a food slut this week. Look! There's a cake for that one too!

So, let me esplain myself, Lucy. 

Last weekend was my sister's bachelorette weekend. 
I feel that maybe that doesn't require any additional detail into the indulgence, but it was great. One thing that was great, is that we spent some serious time at the pool & I wasn't self conscious & looking for an escape method the entire time. I was able to have fun. This is huge for me. 
All of my sister's friends are really hot. So, for longer than I'd care to admit I have been worried about lounging amongst her & her bikini clad crew, but it was fine. Just having a new outlook on things is SO FUCKING LIBERATING (if I haven't mentioned enough)

It's like, look. I eat healthy most of the time. I exercise plenty. I'm strong & healthy & so if my body doesn't look like someone else's--- it's just not meant to. And I'm doing OK. 
OK?!

That's us! Me & my beautiful seeester at the beautiful W pool where drinks are $15 & the security is on par with the goddamn White House. I bought a new swim suit from Target. This is me kind of fitting into a top from a department store, but my cup very nearly runneth over. ALSO! I cut bangs. Look at my bangs!

THIS CAKE IS A LIAR
And THEN on Thursday, my baby sister got a big deal award from the governor's office for being a badass. 
Or.. something about grades & community service. IDK, but we're super proud of her. Only like 5 kids out of the entire state receive this honor each year. Luckily, the ceremony was in Austin so I didn't have to travel (score!)
So, they had a luncheon for the families, so it pretty much would have been rude to turn down the delicious meal they provided (tho I did show some will power & split the cheese cake with my brother. 20 year old boys have all the metabolism).  
Picture
There's Kelli with her award & smart people money (I'm being told it's called a scholarship). Ain't she pretty? And there's me trying not to be in the picture & all kinds of failing. And that other person is my first ex-step mom because my family is confusing. 

BUT even though it wasn't a great week for healthy eating, I did manage to get the following workouts in: 
  • super long elliptical work out
  • average length-ed elliptical work out
  • arm day
  • Holy hell leg day
  • Daaaaaance party with my sister (though someone brought pizza to the club, so that kind of negates all the dancing I got in)
  • Strength training at Beyond Fit where I learned: surprise! I have been doing deadlifts pretty damn wrong. So- education! 


But now I've got a few weeks with no big events coming up, so head is in the game & that game is healthy eating. I'm looking to try some new recipes & classes in this upcoming week. 
Also, here's my new favorite site EVER! 

I'll leave you with some Thug Kitchen wisdom:

I don't have an excuse this week, I freaking suuuuucked at healthy eating. I was home sick the past few days, and it was like another person took over my body. That person wanted to eat ALL of the potato chip (did I mention I don't even like potato chips) and pretty much all of a pizza over a few days. Finally feeling better, so I am trying to get back to eating healthier. Good on you for not eating a sadness cake! It sounds like the indulgence was worth it, and you are ROCKING that swimsuit! Just focus on what you did we'll, and do better this week. You are fucking awesome!
