I lost a few pounds!!!!!

I am going to sit up straighter. I don't care if it's uncomfortable or if I'm not used to it. A hunchback isn't attractive or healthy. I am also going to research how best to build a smokehouse for the homestead.

The 5:2 diet is going great! It's getting easier to moderate my caloric intake and be aware of just how much I'm eating.

The hardest part of my week is making myself go to yoga. I love it once I'm there, but it takes a huge effort to get up and go at the end of the day when I'd rather just relax.

I love this thread! It's really nice to see what everyone else has going on and is working on. I think it helps motivate me and also gives me ideas of things I want to try!

I just wrote my last final examination today. I'm officially done my first year of college!

Now it's time to get a summer job and to start focusing on self improvement. My goals for this summer are: 1) Start reading more. I want to read a page of a dictionary a day, to improve my vocabulary. I also want to read less fiction and more fact. 2) Go to the gym more and eat better. 3) Work on my art, as in painting, pencil portraits and stained glass. 4) QUIT SMOKING! 5) Learn how to cook, as I am moving out of my parent's house this August.

Wish me luck ladies! I am excited for what my summer will have to offer! :)

I lost half a pound. It's not much, but at least the scale is moving in the right direction. I am working out like crazy and cleaning up my diet. Next week I will follow a very strict eating plan.

This week, I am going to stop smoking. I know it is unattractive, and it gives me bad breath.

My second goal is to stop comparing myself to my boyfriend at work. We both serve in the same restaurant, and I find myself complaining if I work more hours.

Last, not least, I'm going to give blowjobs freely, and I will allow him to initiate sex. I still haven't figured out how often he wants sex, but it's not as often as I want it.

Easiest part of this week was my calorie deficit intake along with meal prepping. Weighing everything and putting them in gallon ziplock baggies for each day so I KNOW exactly how much I can eat day to day because if it isn't in the baggy I can't eat it. Cardio sucks, but I don't think I'll ever learn how to really love that part of fitness. It's challenging mentally for me so I appreciate that, but yuck.

The weather seems to have finally actually broken in MI. Hopefully it will be true and I can plant my flowers and stuff outside. The farmers almanac suggests this summer will be hot and wet which is great for plants, but I'm a bit unsure about that humidity myself lol

My goals are the same mostly: stay on track with cut and work outside. Get everything in order for our spring/summer in the garage.

I made some fabulous fajita quesadillas with cilantro from my garden and some Serrano guacamole salsa. My husband ate it up and complimented me extensively. :) It was also my anniversary this past weekend and I stepped up my girl game to a skirt with very high heels and pulled off a red lip with my full makeup. I felt uber sexy and I think hubs could tell because he was a little sweeter than normal.

This week, I'm focusing on my weight loss again. I did help C clean up the apartment a bit, though, so that's started. I'm aiming to start dropping pounds properly, even if it's water weight.

I've also got to finish the last stretch of class to get through before finals next week. It's time for dorm cleanup soon.

Still working on winterizing plus major closet reorg!

I made an Easter cheesecake and it was fabulous! Really rich and full of chocolate so we could only eat it in small portions. Turkey turned out great as well.

Went to the fabric shop to buy material for quilting. I had a pattern ready and I was really excited but all together the material was going to cost upward of 400 dollars. Sightly heart broken.

Goals for this week: practice my violin more, drink more water, and now that my exams are done try to be less stressed and more pleasant to be around (sometimes exams get the better of me unfortunately).

-Been eating more Paleo -Finished week 1: 100 squats a day, week 2 is 120/day (my man loves my bubble butt and he esp loves that I'm working on making it extra juicy for him) -15 mins of yoga and 15 min meditation to start my day -Been working on drinking 72 oz of water a day, successful except for when I stay at my mans place...it so easy to break habits around him, need to compensate for this -Just got vitamin C serum and phytoceramides, excited to see what my skin looks like in a few weeks

2014-04-23T02:45:34+00:00

I wrote my first post on here :/ Wish me luck

I've been trying to improve my baking skills and found a really great recipe for chocolate cupcakes and vanilla buttercream frosting. Everything came out really well and I have to say they're some of the best cupcakes I've had in a long time. My SO loved them and that's a big deal to me because he doesn't have a big sweet tooth.

blushing_goddess · 2014-04-22T05:12:43+00:00

I was good about cooking multiple nights! I was active and despite my nasty flu I initiated sex multiple times. My new job is fantastic! I went on my first business trip (they are short!) and it went really well. I cleaned, scrubbed the bathroom and kitchen. Found an awesome roommate! :) it was a good week!

Stick to my darn diet and stop cheating it.

2 do a full workout. Quit putting it off.

Do a better job balancing spending time with the kids and chores. Been slipping with the cleaning.

Last Week's Goals:

Finish Spring Cleaning (I've realized this is an ongoing task. Unfortunately, having a toddler in the "Whatever you do, I have to undo it" stage isn't great for Keeping Things Done.)
~~Move the Baby's Crib in His Room~~ (DONE! So excited to finally have "our room" back after 2+ years! I also put up his Cars light string, so he has a night light.)
Plant Seedlings (This one I've made progress towards. I culled the seedlings I had left after the white-powder stuff set in, and I've tilled the area for the first time.) (I actually ended up planting some flowers near our gate, and adding a large patio brick to a part of our [dirt] walkway that always floods, so I still feel accomplished.)

This Week's Goals:

Start the major yard work. I'm thinking tackling our leaves will be the most likely thing I'll begin/get halfway done this week.
Say one thing nice to/about my husband, preferably when I'm going to say something complaining. I really am trying to swallow the RP, but the BP mentality in me keeps trying to make me throw it back up.
Stick with my diet. This one will probably be a running goal, but I'll just track my progress here weekly. I'm hoping that if I make myself accountable (either "Done" or explaining what I did wrong, even if no one reads it), I can progress into other aspects (taking up a real exercise regimen, etc.), because I'll feel like I have to make someone else proud, not just myself. I'm not even sure if that makes sense to anyone except me.
