GUYS, I haven’t been able to fit into this skirt in over TWO YEARS. It was my faaaaaaavorite skirt of all time. You can even see it proudly displayed on my old blog here. While it’s still a bit too tight I decided to wear it out anyway because my confidence is soaring and I’m at a point where I kind of don’t care what people think (which is SUCH a foreign concept to me). I rocked hella bright red lips, a too tight skirt and, surprisingly, still felt really good about myself. I didn’t expect to feel this confident for at least another 40 pounds from now.
Went for another walk yesterday in the gross heat and NO ONE else was out! I figured at 1:30 p.m. on Fourth of July there would be ALLLL the people out enjoying the day off but they were either all splashing away in their pools or inside relishing in their air conditioning - smart decisions. I had to stop and sit down in the grass halfway through my walk to down all my water and take a breather. I felt like a wimp for needing to do so but I’m glad I did so I wasn’t hating the second half of the walk.
For dinner Kevin grilled up a bunch of chicken thighs and these were seriously the best things I’ve ever eaten. They were made with a rub of paprika, chipotle pepper, cumin and salt paired with the low carb BBQ sauce. We had a lot of left overs which I’ve almost single-handedly demolished over the last 24 hours. I want to eat this every single night for the rest of my keto life.
After dinner I took a shower and a nap then got ready to head out to the park around 8 p.m. for 9:30 p.m. fireworks. This was our first time attending an event at the waterfront and it was really fun! Yes there were tons of people but it wasn’t overwhelming and we enjoyed being out and celebrating the day. My co-worker and her friend hung out on our blanket with us so we were even social!! Next time we’re totally bringing in booze with us.
Woke up this morning to another day weighing in at 221. I’m not overly disappointed since I haven’t been rigid with my eating but I’ll take a whoosh any day now, please!
We didn’t have to come into the office until 1 p.m. today so I had a lovely relaxing morning :) AND it’s almost the weekend!! What a great week!!!
