I finally finished the Squat Challenge last night! Woo Hoo! I'm so relieved it's over with and I'm so proud of myself for finishing something. I always start things but never seem to stick to them but I made myself do it this time and it feels good. It gives me confidence in myself. I've noticed that my butt is more lifted and my thighs are smaller and firmer so it was worth it.
This morning I weighed exactly the same as yesterday; that's fine with me, especially considering it's TOM.
I've been feeling very satisfied with the foods I've been eating and noticed that I'm not wanting snacks in between meals and I very seldom crave sweets. I've also gotten completely away from flavored creamer in my coffee - all I have now is organic half and half and it's delicious with my Donut Shop k-cups.
I recently learned that I'm getting a very nice bonus at work for extra work that I did on a 10-month long project, which has finally ended. YES! There are many things that crossed my mind to do with the money: pay bills, go on vacation, blow the whole damn thing... Bills will always be there, if I use it for a vacation it sure will be nice to get away but I won't have anything to show for it, except for a paid hotel bill, so...I've decided that DD and I are going to blow the whole damn thing! At first I felt guilty about it, but hell, I worked my ass off for it and I never do anything or treat myself, so what the hell. We're going to do what most women love to do - shop! We're going to a gianormous mall that is two hours away and are going to stay over in a hotel and just take our good old sweet time doing what we please for two glorious days. I'm in desperate need of clothes and shoes so I'm going to treat myself to alot of stuff. Having lost 22 pounds now and starting to feel better about myself I feel like I'm due for a clothes treat...hopefully even a purse. I can't freakin' wait! The trip with be on June 15.
That's about it for now. I'm still feeling great, slim, healthy and in the zone. I'm eating better than I ever have in my entire life and it's paying off inside and out. Today I will start back on cardio exercise since the squats are over with - maybe a walk outside this evening to get some fresh air.
Make it a great day!
My 3FC friends - I'm still unable to comment on your blogs. :/
I did not desert you though, I check in with you every day.
That is SO awesome ... let's hear for being in the zone! And congratulations on finishing the challenge ... it's a difficult one and you did it! Enjoy your trip with DD.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteAnother big congrats on finishing the squat challenge!! I might have to snag that schedule off your past post and do it - though I'm not very good with follow-through on that kind of thing. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the big bonus. I think you'll have a great time with your daughter. It'll be fun, but you'll also have something to show for it as well, so a bit of both "event" and "practical". :)
Thanks, Laura. I posted the schedule on the fridge where I'd be forced to look at it every day until I finished.
