7DSD Day 5

Well I slipped up on Saturday and had 1/2 PFP pancake about an hour before bed and I also had 2 beers while watching Hemingway and Gellhorn. I've been really down for about a week and I cant seem to shake that. It could be from the bloating and the fact that my numbers aren't budging, but the thing that is strongest on my mind is that I'm not in school and I want to be. I want my PhD and I can't even get my associates! And on top of that, I feel like I'm rotting away in this stupid town. It's been raining and cold and it's nearly june! Ugh, I feel like I'm suffocating. My boyfriend was talking to his friend up in California this week and his friend wants us to move out there. Once that idea got into me head, it's like I mentally gripped on to it and the chances of it happened are probably 2.5%. Basically not possible! My boyfriend will never go for it, although he did tell his friend that I could transfer stores and that it IS possible... I'm going to push for him to really consider this. Who wants to settle down or end up in the suburbs of IL!!!!? That cannot be the dream. lol. Well I'm sure we'd be happy enough doing that, but so much happier in warm sunny California.

Day 5 of the 7DSD. I'm glad it's day 5 so I can stop eating salt and hopefully, as the plan indicates, the bloating will blast down! This should be the best part of the slim down. Then I'll have to stay strong on Thursday which shouldn't be too hard since I work 8-4 that day, then Friday we are headed to the Cubs game and Saturday we are getting my first CARBSaturday lunch at Macaroni Grill. :)

Also, my mood may be low because I haven't been doing as much cardio the last week AND I have to work 8 days straight before my 3 day weekend. I'm sure none of this helped.

I JUST WANT TO WRITE FOR A LIVING. I'm so tired of retail. It's not even the helping guests part that bothers me most, it's upper management. They just don't care at all about the team. They care about scores and impressing corporate, and that's IT! It's really hard to keep taking. And they never stop reminding us how disposable we are but then they also never stop asking for favors. It's a really unhealthy dynamic happening.

Did 50 TIU Twisted Knee Raises yesterday w/ 5 lb weights.
Today I'm going to try to do 75 TIU lower ab toners. :) Ab goal every day till summer!

 1. Complete all the workouts going forward. I have been struggling weeks 3 and 4 to complete all my routines. I started off so incredibly strong and then as the weather took a turn, so did my motivation. I wish I didn't depend on mother nature as much as I apparently do. I will feel so proud of myself for doing these workouts even despite the crappy weather.
2. Reach 155 lbs at least. It's been a struggle to get out of the 160's for months now. Some weeks I creep down to 157, but other weeks I creep back up to 163. I want to get to 155 and not creep up anymore! This will feel amazing because the lowest I remember weighing in was 158 at the end of 2009. After all my hard work, I cant wait to see the scale reflect that!
3.Lose 2 more inches, anywhere! I think it's totally possible for me to lose 2 inches in 3 weeks. I was losing inches at the beginning of the bikini series but they seem to have come back on? I want to see 2 inches come off again. I dont care if it's from my waist, tush, or bust! lol. Take a 1/2 from everything, I just want to start shrinking again. <3
