Weigh in: 2lbs down! That means I have lost a total of 6lbs since my hot handsome husband has left. Wahoo! Only 7 - 9 lbs left to reach my Operation Skinny Goal and only approximately 6 - 7 more weeks to do it! Eeek!
This week, my motivation to lose the extra poundage that I have hanging around was greatly increased because my hot handsome hubby (and some of his friends) surprised me (and their wives too!) with a vacation when the boys return home. We're all so excited and in major workout/healthy mode! We need those sexy beach bodies!
As many of you know, I met my hot handsome husband on a cruise and well that's where we'll be heading. Fingers crossed that cruising the Caribbean is our "lucky" spot and that Baby Froyo is created. If everyone could start praying now, it would be greatly appreciated.
But back to motivation! This week I printed the below pictures out and taped them to my refrigerator and pantry. I also wrote on my bathroom mirror: "Think Skinny Thoughts," "Suck it up Buttercup," and "No Excuses!" Just gentle reminders to not give up.
Now let's see how I did on those goals this week:

I purchased this swimsuit in dolce red that I plan to hang in my bedroom to keep me motivated too! Because I don't know about y'all but just thinking about having to get into a bikini motivates me to workout and not reach for that cupcake. I also have my two BFF's who are coming with us on the cruise that are keeping me motivated. We text each other daily (sometimes an excessive amount) about our workout and eating triumphs and struggles. We can do this ladies!
Now let's see how I did on those goals this week:
- Prepare and portion my meals for the week. - Fail! I only portioned out the Southwest Quinoa Salad I made but that's okay because I still managed to stay on track all week (well since Monday).
- Enter all my meals and snacks into my app every morning. - Done!
- Add a couple spin classes to my workout routine. - Done!
- Allow myself one cheat meal or dessert. - This is planned for dinner tonight...Mexican!
Overall, this was a successful week, starting on Monday. I didn't count calories last weekend and skipped working out. But I have managed to work out everyday since. I either ran or went to my spin class and I did a JM workout video. It feels good to be back at spin but unfortunately I will not be able to attend another class until after I return from RI in June. That just leaves me more time to run!
Goals for this Week:
Goals for this Week:
- Continue to enter all my meals and snacks into my calorie counting app every morning.
- Stay on track even when I am eating out. I have 3 different dinner dates this week and this could throw me completely off.
- Workout as soon as I wake up in the morning and don't lay around catching up with my DVR. I'm pretty sure that my DVR sucks a lot of motivation from me.
What better way to end a blog post then with a picture I snapped of Cheyenne waiting with her nose against the fence for her boyfriend (the dog that lives in the house behind us) to come outside.
Have a Happy and Healthy Weekend!
