I strived for calorie deficits leading up to today's weigh-in and I made my goal with an additional pound lost. So, today instead of trying to hover 1200, I wanted to eat "cheat foods" but still stay under fatsecret rdi. I thoroughly enjoyed my home-baked pizza dough with a tiny sprinkle of cheese, a slight drizzle of olive oil, then dipped in garlic hummus. It's way more carbs than I usually eat, my macros aren't where I'd like them to be, but I'm still under rdi. My next official weigh-in will be in two weeks, August 15. What should my mini-goal be? Four pounds? If I make it an even 5, then I'll have 14 pounds left to lose. I might be pushing it. Anyway, I wanted to check in tonight before bed because last time I had a cheat meal my mind was troubled and I don't want to go there again. Writing it down helps, so, uh, I wrote it down. and it will help.

Feeling good, keeping it together. I've lost 19 pounds since coming back to FS. I have 19 more to go. Halfway there! I've never been this close to my ultimate weight loss goal. I think 150 will be small enough for a bikini. It sounds a bit shallow- small enough for a bikini- but I'm 37 and have always worn more of a bathing outfit.

I didn't push too hard during my workout, my muscles are sore and legs are so tight. Jumping jacks really hurt the back of my legs, almost felt like something would snap back there. I added some extra stretching at the end and I'll try to soften that tightness with more stretching today. I want to start a butt challenge. I was watching online tutorials by these incredibly strong women whose butts were truly amazing. I think I have enough mass back there but it really needs to be reshaped.

We had a movie on the lawn last night. All the neighborhood kids came over with a bunch of movie snacks. I had a few marshmallows and plain popcorn instead of chocolate and sour patch kids. It was a fun night and I had a lot of willpower.

My salad-challenge is going well. Love love love the meditation part.

Hope you all have a great day! Stay strong!

30 Day Shred, Day 2, Level 1: Ok, I did better with the dvd yesterday. I didn't take as many 5 second breaks as day 1; however, I couldn't quite lift the weights up to my eyes during those side lunges and I left my feet on the floor during the last ab circuit. My little guy did the workout with me- the whole 27 minutes! It was so funny, poor kid isn't quite coordinated enough for jumping jacks, but boy does he have a lot of heart! He really kept me motivated and said, "Wow mom, I didn't know you were this strong." So freaking cute.

My meals were well planned yesterday so I didn't face any food demons and I went straight to bed when I wanted to nosh on something. My challenge is going well. The quiet meditation feels so good. It's like how I feel after hearing a good sermon, except the lesson comes from my own heart and mind. So powerful.

I have a whole week off from grad school so it'll be nice to not have that hanging over me. We're hitting the shore tomorrow for some family time. Today, I'd like to go through Des' toys and purge, purge, purge! I hope he won't give me a hard time about it. I want to wash all the bedding in the house. I should head into my gardens for more weeding. Oh, I'm excited about some deliveries I'm expecting today. I ordered 1000 misprint #2 pencils and 175 misprint pens from amazon. I think I'll finally have enough to loan (and lose) for the upcoming school year. Is it funny that I am an English teacher and I'll be loaning writing utensils with spelling and grammar errors?

I hope you'll all be strong today. Cheers!
