I have been writing down my workouts so I can better track how often I do certain ones and also what levels I do things at so I can push myself and hopefully not plateau again. I'm still feeling good about my commitment to not drink until my birthday and about doing the 30DS every day. It's going to be a challenge, that's for sure but I know I can do it. I've gone 4 weeks without drinking before (when I started dieting) and I should have no problem doing it again. :) Just have to say no maybe 6-8 times. We all know why it's bad to drink - no need for convincing!

The 30DS is actually pretty challenging! It's only 20 minutes and each move/circuit isn't all that hard but when paired together I was seriously sweating! I have full confidence this will work. My favorite part is that halfway through when I want to quit, I just remind myself it's only 10 more minutes and then I'm done. Saturday I tried it and only made it halfway (*was hungover), then Sunday I did the full thing. Now I know I can do it, and it'll be fun to see when it gets easier. I'm thinking I'll spend 10 days on each level since there's 3 levels. The 14th-23rd (level one). The 24th-3rd (level two). The 4th-13th (level four).

I'm trying to do the TIU arms routine 3X a week.  No specifics about which days, but I look back at my week and check to see that I did it. I got off to a later start this month but I can continue on strong. I just do the killer buns and thighs workout when I cant make it to the gym. And I do Pilates a lot for morning bootycalls. It's really great. I finally feel like I'm getting into a good routine. I simply need to get this nailed down and continue hitting the gym. 

And lastly, since were halfway through the month already, I'd like to post an update on my April Goals so I don't lose track. 

UPDATE:
>> I am still struggling with booty calls. I do them like 2-3 times a week. Almost there!
>> I'm getting really good about not eating before bed. Maybe 1-2 a week I might have a really tiny snack within those 2 hours, like a single strawberry.
>> I am following really closely except a few nights this week I had sandwiches for dinner. I'd like to see myself steer clearer of carbs for dinner and stick to all leans and greens.
>> Failed my first attempt at 7DSD but will try again
>> Need to hit the gym a lot harder going forward!
>> I am doing good with my 30 min reflection time goal! Every Monday on right here!
>> Almost out of the 160's! Was at 163 last I checked!! :D
