March goal

March 25th is me and my husband's 5yr anniversary. We've been together 12 yrs, married for 5. I wanted to do something special because we never do anything. We're huge homebodies. And everytime I try to plan something I always end up going ah forget it because it never seems worth the money. But this year i wanted to do something special. I mean 5 yrs is a milestone and I wanted to have some nice memories. Plus its also a kind of celebration for all my hard work and kind of like a mini 2nd honeymoon.

So after trying lots of different things I finally settled on a weekend cruise. I'm kind of excited about it. We've been on cruises before but  never been on a Royal Caribbean cruise before. And now I have so much more energy so I'm really looking forward to enjoying it more this time. It will be a little bit of a challenge though. I eat so little and so frequently so i'm a little worried about what will be available. But I guess what I'm most worried about is getting all my waters in. I find that when I'm busy out and about I forget to drink my waters. And in the heat it will be REALLY crucial that I get all my waters in. So that will have to be something I stay on top of. I'm not worried about actual food selection because I can make healthy choices. They have tons of selection. Plus if I indulge it will only  be a little. I have to make sure that I don't, however, just eat french fries and pizza like i did last time i went on a cruise. And as good as I am at the way I eat, I have to admit that if someone puts a pizza in front of me I will eat it. Lol. So yeah there's gonna be a slice eaten here or there but I can't make those my regular meals. I'm bringing my banana cream pudding protein powder. Which is perfect! It tastes so tropical. I can picture myself drinking my shake on the pool deck with the wind in my hair. so lovely. I know i'm gonna splurge. But I also know its not gonna be over the top. But i'll report back and let you guys know.

I just bought a new bathing suit

And between that and the clothes my hubby got for me at old navy i'm all set! its so nice to have pants and shorts that aren't falling off all the time. I even got a skirt! did i show you guys? i don't even remember the last time i wore a skirt that wasn't to my ankles.

Anyway right now I weigh 182.5lbs. I feel like I'm a week behind because of that stall last week. Which bugs me. Because I set a new goal for myself. By March 25th (my anniversary and the day we leave for the cruise), I want to be 175lbs. I only have 5 weeks and who knows at this point if i'll be able to make it. i don't know if i'll stall or what. i know i'm not losing as quickly as before. my normal range of weightloss has always been .5lbs-2lbs. for a couple weeks there i was losing 2lbs per week which was awesome! but now last week it was .5 and this week it was 1.5. which i really shouldn't complain about because its still in that same range but i guess the more you lose the faster you want to keep losing. anyway i'm going to bust my ass to make it to my goal. i've been slacking with workouts lately. i eat so little that it really didn't matter, the weight was coming off anyway, but i wanna kick it up a notch. i got some new workout shorts (my other ones were falling off!) and finally some sports bras (sadly my old bras are way too big for me now) and i'm ready to get back into it. having new stuff kinda motivates you to do it more. in fact i woke up this morning (sunday) and threw on my new gym clothes and i'm sitting here drinking my banana cream shake and preparing for the gym.

gotta kick ass if i wanna make it to 175lbs by march 25th. thats my goal! i'm putting it out to the universe. let's make it happen.
