10 Days Till Assessment!!!

I have been so crazy busy this past week, but it has all been fun, good stuff.  I am sorry I have not posted in awhile though.  So much has happened, I can't keep it straight.

Food journal swap night was great fun!  My bb buddies and I came with servings for each participant and honestly it was really helpful to have my food already planned out for a couple of days.  I also came away with the pure fact that the edamame dip is THE BOMB!!!  I would have never made it until my girl Christina brought it to the swap.  This is my favorite and most satisfying snack ever!  Email me and I will send you the recipe, if you are curious. 

So, two Mondays ago, after I blogged all panicky and frantic, I was down 3lbs!!  I always seem to do that to myself.  I get all worked up and stressed over how I am doing and then I am fine.  It was certainly another hard week with Jeff on business in NYC.  Then last Monday, I gained 2.2lbs.  This is the very first time I have gained since my journey began.  I did not freak out and really tried to put it into perspective.  Did I eat too much salt, not drink enough water, not get enough sleep and have my period?  Yep to all of the above!!!!  So I drank a large glass of water and moved on.  It is easier said than done but that is where my head is, really!

From today, there are only 10 days till assessment and I am committed to making every single day count towards my goals.  Everything I did not do last week, I WILL do this week.  And it is going to be a killer week of bb workouts.  One of my buddies described our next workout as Hyperventilation Hill.  I will let you imagine how that one plays out and the "balls" class.  Another workout that if I describe you will die laughing at the pure horror of it!!  If I think too much about these workouts, I might throw up.  This time around, I do know it will be hard, but when it is over I will be so proud of myself and all the girls!  

Small victories... I can fit into clothes I have not even dared to pull out in a few years.  I am wearing shorts out in public!  I have been to the beach and pool numerous times this summer...in my bathing suit!!

I am off to my mom's to sweat my booty off while Tori plays with her Mia!!!  Think good thoughts for me!  xoxo
