Weigh in...

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed or not, but I haven't done a weigh-in in a loooong time.
The last time was exactly a month ago - February 1.
At that point, I had lost 6 pounds. YAY!

But during the month of February, I really did not feel like I had been doing as well.
Not exercising much.
Not eating super healthy (not eating terrible, but just not as careful as I had been).

So I just put off stepping on that horrible invention called a scale.
But really... who invented that? 

This morning, I was putting on a pair of dress pants and noticed that they seemed a little lose.
At first, I was super happy but then told myself they were probably just stretched out.
I debated a few minutes, then finally grabbed the scale.
And.... And... And...

ANOTHER 6 POUNDS GONE!!!

Overjoyed. Elated. Shocked.

Those describe me now.

Even though I haven't been making huge changes like I did in January, this just goes to show that little changes can make a big difference.

So today, use the stairs instead of the elevator.

Drink water instead of coffee. (Hard, I know.)

Be good to yourself.

XOXO,

high five for friday

1) I am currently baking the best banana bread everrrr. Move over, Betty Crocker. :)

2) When my sister came to visit last week with her boyfriend, they both left and forgot the brand new container of Folger's coffee that they bought. Good morning to me!

3) All three of my housemates have been sick with the flu for the last two weeks and I am still going strong! (knock on wood) Ain't nobody got time fo' dat. Especially this girl!!

4) I bought a sports bra and a pair of workout shorts at Walmart tonight for $5 each!

5)  I applied to graduate from Liberty University!! May 11th is going to be such a memorable day. :)

XOXO,

high five for friday!

TGIF!!
(But really...)

This means it is time forrrr......

 

1) Last Friday, I went to the Sears in town because they are closing and having huge sales - my favorite. :) And I picked up this cute bedding for only $24!

2) Smoothie King is my new favorite quick meal. I've had it twice this week and it is so yummy! The first time I got Pineapple Pleasure (I think that is what it's called?) and today I got a Chocolate Lean 1.

3) And the countdown has finally begun until I get to visit with my sister!!! I'm going to pick her up this coming Thursday. Anyone out there who thinks you have the best sister - you don't. (Sorry, not sorry.)

4) Okay, I don't really know if this counts as a h54f or not since I haven't done it yet, but have all you bloggers seen this??? Hair removal with a sugar mix! I found it on Pinterest (the place where all good crafts come from) and I am really wanting to try it.

5) Lastly, I gave in to temptation and weighed myself on Thursday instead of waiting until Sunday and guess what?! Down two more pounds!

high five for friday

I kind of decided to join in on the "high five for friday" fun last minute so I don't have pictures (booo) but I'll try to have some next week!



1) I've worked out every single day! Well, except one day because of cramps. That's not an excuse but a legit reason. Ask any woman. Those things can be killer.

2) I had my first residential class of the semester this week! It's all about the stressers that face families today - traditional families, military families, homosexual families, any type of family you can think of. I'm excited for it!

3) I gathered up some of my girls on Wednesday night and we all went to a zumba class! Definitely not my natural talent, but it was definitely fun. :)

4) Monday night was the (hopefully) traditional "Bachelor Girl's Night"! I know, I know. It sounds weird. So what is this lovely event? To put it simply - pile as many girl friends into our living room as possible and ooh and ahh over Sean Lowe's gorgeous shirtless body on the Bachelor. Now you want to join, don't ya? ;)

5) It's snowing!!! Some people would disagree, but I think snow is definitely worth a spot in "high five". This Northern girl living in a southern state is quite content!

Over all, my week was been good but rather uneventful. I'll try to make next weeks better. :)

How was your week??

XOXO,
Victoria
