What I've Been Doing...

So I know I've been MIA for a few weeks and this is to show you all what I've been doing in my time away from this blog. 


First I want to point out that I have still been doing my boot camp and have recently incorporated Tuesday and Thursday morning workouts with my man friend. 


The last time I updated was before we went home to Michigan for a wedding. I had all intentions of sticking to my diet and I did until the wedding. Well that's not true, Friday night I was late to the airport and had to get some food so I had a nature valley bar. Got to my sisters and had a yogurt and then had some cheese, which is not in the diet but I was STARVING. It was better than bread. So in the morning I had a good breakfast and had a great lunch then headed to the dreaded wedding. Well the wedding wasn't dreaded but the food and drinks were. I had salmon, salad, and veggies.. Then bread, and a brownie or two, and plenty of rum and diets. So really, not horrible but not good either. Then Sunday showed up and I said, eh I'll be good.. And that failed. Had some egg bake, which was okay, but it was the birthday cake I had as breakfast dessert that did me in. So Sunday really just fell apart which was fine. Monday we got back on the horse! Then I worked on this... 




These are the fabric flower balls that I'm creating for our wedding ceremony and I couldn't be happier, except that I'll have to "fix" them all before the wedding because they are sort of falling apart sometimes. Oh well, I still love them! 
Then I also worked on some baking so I could elaborate on what I've been "creating" and then this happened... 
Oops!! 
Thursday, October 6th was my birthday, yaaay, and I didn't cheat all day until my man friend took me out for my birthday dinner. We had sushi, a hibachi style dinner, then dessert. Oops! Obviously the dessert was the worst part but really the oil and butter didn't help. Oh well. 
After that we were back on like good kids and so I took on project #2. This was getting a HUGE 100 pound mirror, painting it and then hanging it on my wall. Yay mirror. :) 
Beginning
 Middle, with a sleeping man friend
Finished!!
I will post a mounted photo soon. :) 

So now on to this weekend/week.. See the middle photo with the red chair in the background? Well 4 or more months ago we tested out different paint colors and oddly enough, we have 4 different colored chairs and not a single one is finished. So I started my next project, project #2.4..  I painted all the kitchen table chairs the same black as the mirror, finally, to match the table. No pictures yet, but I will share those soon as well. 

But here is the bad news, well good news as well. Wednesday night my man friend really wanted pizza and I fought and fought and fought him until he finally broke me down and we had pizza for dinner. And cake for dessert. And the next day I had cupcakes and the day after that, candy and then after that I ran a 5k in 31:05, yea that rocked...

 then I had pizza, and cupcakes, then had mexican and then finished the night with some ice cream. IT WAS AWFUL. I felt terrible and the worst part is that I didn't gain more than 1.8 pounds.. WTH. Sunday night before I went to bed I felt so sick and immediately vowed to get back on the diet. I went full steam back into it this week, lots of protein days minus the roommates birthday dinner. We had a cheat meal, which was okay because I'm still losing weight while working harder at boot camp and my alternate work out days with my man. 
This weekend it's our anniversary so we're taking a trip to Atlanta to tour the coke factory and aquarium. 
Oh and the good news is that I'm finally down to 146, which after 3 weeks of half cheating I'm pretty proud of myself. I've finally gotten lower than my lowest weight and my trainer has challenged me to lose 2 pounds this week... We'll see!!!
