The official Saturday weigh-in, 203.2. Not too shabby! I was kind of disappointed because I was 202 the other day...but I had a hellova snacking day yesterday with going to the movies with candy and popcorn. Then after I got home, my brother and I went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Afterwards we went to Cook Out and I got a milkshake even though I knew I shouldn't have...it's just been tradition for so long and so...I just didn't eat the whole thing! But...yeah this is my excuses for not having a great weigh-in.
Wait! Wa-wait! Did you honestly think I was going to mention RHPS up there and then not talk anymore about it?! AS IF!
I LOVE going to Rocky Horror! I've been about 6 times now (in the last year) and I love it! I love getting to wear skanky clothes and shout things and throw things and sing and dance. I even love the underwear run! Going to Rocky is a great way to get over body size/weight issues. I know the first time I went when it came time for the UNDERWEAR RUN I was all, "No way, I'm too fat, people don't want to see me jiggle around the entire theatre twice!" But I sat back and watched as people of all sizes stripped down and had a ball.
And now I'm one of those crazy weirdos. I know Rocky isn't for everyone, but if you're never been, you need to check it out! And I don't just mean netflix-ing the movie!!
Wow...sorry, //end Rocky ramble.
Today is Saturday so check-up on the goals.
Exercise - I did poorly on walking this week and okay on videos. I tried a new Dance Exercise video and there shall be a review posted probably tomorrow of that.
Food - I did okay on meals and better on snacking since I started writing down what I eat again (except yesterday of course..). I think that I just need to keep up with the journaling for awhile longer. It helps to keep me accountable over what I'm putting in my mouth.
So some ways to improve for this next week! I'm planning to get the bike out today. Not the stationary exercise bike, the real bike. This way, I can mix up walking some nights with a nice bike ride. I'm VERY excited about this cause I love new things to change up stuff. And I plan to keep up the journaling!
Also this week, I've got the kids camp. I'm really hoping this is going to turn out to be a great week. :)
Friday Favourites! (better late than never!)
1. Geeky Comic - Check it out! I love it!
2. Blistex Lip Medex - As a trumpet player, I had a TON of lip blam. This is my fav product to use, especially when I play a LOT. :)
3. Jump in the Line I LOVE this song!!! I'm soo happy it's on Just Dance 2! My Fav!
4. Don't Blink - Seriously. Don't Blink. Blink and you're dead. (and I'm sorry if you don't get this... Doctor Who for the win! :D)
5. Oh and...not going to McDonalds with my family for lunch today
Sharing is Caring: Any Friday Favourites you would like to share? Have you ever been to Rocky Horror? Would you strip down to your undies to run around a theater? How do you mix up your exercise routine if you get bored?

Jump in the line!
Good day today!
You know how when things are going bad, people tell you to get some perspective? Well I think today I got some perspective.
I was feeling particularly lethargic today with nothing to do and no plans besides church tonight (that I had planned to get out of). I had the family room all to myself and decided, hey, why the hell not exercise now? So I did!
Even better, I started out by getting on the wiifit. In the 10 days since I've played last, I've lost 5 lbs. I'm still around 204, but this was a great reminder of all my hard work! Despite feeling like I'm not doing anything, I really am and it shows!
I followed that up with the Best Butt Fast video, which kicked my butt today! I've been writing down everything I eat to keep a handle on my snacking. I didn't have enough quick carbs in my system and I could feel myself shutting down halfway through, so I stopped for juice and finished up my workout!
Feeling rather energized and like a winner, I decided to go with mum to a church event which was an event hosted by a summer ministries team at another church. While there, we sang praise songs and heard about the group's experience. To be honest, it made me feel quite inadequate as I've done nothing all summer.
At the end though, they gave us the list of events they're doing in the next week and a half that we (the people who showed up) can get involved in! There's a kids camp next week in the mornings that they need help with, and that's practically right up my alley! It's in a place I know and they'll be people my age running the event. I felt really drawn to doing this event. I've been wanting to volunteer all summer and just never had an opportunity come to me.
So I talked to the lady afterwords and filled out the background check form. I'll be there every morning next week!
The anxious part of me is already freaking out. What will I wear? What will everybody else be wearing? Jeans and tees or should I try to look cute? What if it rains (as this event is outside)? I'm driving so where do I park? What if I get lost? What if they're not friendly?
I've been really inspired by reading other blogs lately to go and do things that scare me and try new things. This is my new and scary thing to try!
And I don't just mean getting up at 7 every morning. o.o
Wish me luck you guys! I'm nervous and excited! Ready for my summer away from school to go out with a big impact, in my life and other's!
And then it's packing and moving again!
