Weekly Weigh-In

Hi all!

Happy Sunday! How are you all today? The weekend is coming to an end, how are you going to make it a positive one? 

Of course, yesterday after I had already made my post, I was informed that we were not going shopping and it would be happening today now. So I had to re-plan out my day, which wasn't all that much work, just switched the Saturday things to Sunday and vise versa. So yesterday I took a nice walk with my mother and had an enjoyable chat with her. Plus I began working on next weeks schoolwork, hopefully I'll be able to finish it pretty early on in the week. 

Anyways, today I will be going shopping with my HRM, and I'll be getting so really yummy stuff. And thank God for that because as of yesterday, I am out of my breakfast foods. So I only get coffee this morning :( It is going to be a long morning, that's for sure. 

Since today is Sunday, I have a weigh-in. I don't weigh-in again for my challenge until the 16th, so I'll be posting that on Thursday as well. Before weighing in, I wasn't sure how the weigh-in would go because last weekend I was off. Then during the week, I had a few good and bad days nutritionally, the positive thing is that my fitness stayed on track. When I had stepped on the scale on Monday morning (I was wearing more clothing than I would normally wear to weigh-in), I had gained some weight but I took it as a grain of salt.

Starting Weight: 315 lbs

Last Weight: 288.6 lbs

Current Weight: 291.4 lbs

Weight Lost: 23.6 lbs

Now, I do not think that I gained 2.8 pounds in a week because I did not eat that many extra calories. But I do think that my sodium level was higher than normal this week and that could very easily play a big role in this. Either way, I'll try to drink more water from here on out to combat the sodium and just try to stick to my nutrition plan more closely this week. 

Well I have to keep this short... I need to finish drinking my coffee, get ready for church and then off to do some shopping with my mother. Oh and it's my brother and SIL's 7th anniversary today, so happy anniversary to them. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Until next time!

Anniversary, Recap, Weigh-In and Busyness (Day 627)

Hi all!

Happy Monday! How are you all doing today? It is officially the last beginning of the week before I move, scary! I have so much to share with all of you! My weekend was absofreakinglutely killer and I cannot wait to share that with all of you!

But before I get into my weekend, I need to say this. Happy Anniversary, Abid! Thank you for the most amazing year of my life and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you! I love you more than words can express! That's right guys, today is our 1 year anniversary! It's hard for us to not actually be together on our anniversary but next year (hopefully sooner). Nevertheless, I feel so blessed to have Abid in my life. He truly is the love of my life, my best friend and most amazing man I have ever met in my life. 

As you may know, I went to the House of Blues Chicago on Saturday to see Darren Criss and Theo Katzman perform. And I knew that the show was going to be amazing but it exceeded my expectations. I cannot even begin to describe how freaking amazing that show was, not to mention that I met some amazing people while waiting in line. 

My line buddy, Ron John :)

We were rockin our Darren Criss jellies :) This dude was seriously awesome, he made the 6.5 hours waiting outside much more fun. Plus I met some amazing ladies who were standing in front of me as well. Everyone was amazing. Oh and I have to say, Darren is even more attractive in person... which I did not think was possible. :) Here are a few pictures from the show. 

First Song :)

Those eyes

Soul Children Chicago joining him for a song... absolutely amazing

I love his passion

Theo was amazing as well... I jammed out to his CD on the drive home :)
Don't forget to go check him out as well!

Here's the video to Not Alone with the Soul Children Chicago. It was absolutely amazing, enjoy! :)

Oh and yesterday was Sunday, which means weigh-in day! :) Honestly, I had no idea what to expect because last week as freakishly crazy. I was writing my final all week and was finally able to finish all my other homework yesterday. Exercise hardly happened at all last week and my nutrition was okay... But I was pleasantly surprised by the results. I lost 5.2 pounds! Holy crap!! How on earth did that happen?!? Not sure how it happened, but I'll take it! :) Eek! I am officially at my next goal... only about 15 pounds until I reach my goal for this year and my all-time lowest adult weight. Hopefully I'll reach that within the next few months. :)

Starting Weight: 315

Last Weigh-In: 270

Current Weight: 264.8

Total Lost: 50.2

Today marks the beginning of another crazy busy week. This week I need to get all of my homework and packing done by Friday night (hopefully sooner). And then Saturday and Sunday will be spent on the road, arriving sometime on Sunday and then moving into my apartment on Monday morning. I cannot believe that a week from today will be my first official day living in CO! 

Alright... this post is long enough. Time to get going on homework and some packing later. Have an amazing day everyone! So until next time!
