Thursday Morning Moment of Truth

Hey! I'm back!

So listen to what I did yesterday. Currently I am not in school for the summer, not working at my GA, and I don't have a regular job either so I am just chilling. Because of my lack of schedule it's easy to lose track of the days.Yesterday morning I got up and jumped on the scale, but not for my weigh-in. I had been weighing each day this week to keep myself on track after being out of town at a music festival all weekend and not tracking. The scale reads 148.8 and I am pleased with this, even thinking "by tomorrow I should be down at least another 0.2." I go on with my day until David comes home from work. We start talking and he makes a comment about how tomorrow is a half day. I get really confused because it's Wednesday and I don't understand why he would take a half day on a Thursday. After 3 minutes of intense arguing about what day it is, I find out it isn't Wednesday, it's THURSDAY. It's my weigh-in day and I had no picture! At this point it was already 12:30 so no weighing in now! So I apologize for my tardiness, I am an unemployed idiot.

So this morning I got up and weighed in again (since it's Thursday and all). Here ya go!

148 is an insane number for me! Kinda trippy
Beginning Weight: 162 lbs
Current Weight: 148.6
Total Weight Lost: 13.4 lbs

Pretty exciting to be at 148! Could have been a better weigh-in but with the Beale Street Music festival this past weekend I did pretty good to lose at all! So I am proud of myself. This past weekend showed me I could not track and still have control over what I eat and how much I eat and see some progress!  

The music festival was so much fun! Some of the bands I saw were Florence & the Machine, My Morning Jacket, 3 Six Mafia, The Civil Wars, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, NEEDTOBREATHE, Dr. Dog, Little Richard, and Michael Franti & Spearhead. We ate good food, and saw some awesome shoes and had a blast hanging out with some of great friends. Here are some pics. Memphis is a black hole for Verizon service, so my phone spent a lot of time searching for service and being dead, so I didn't get too many. 

The whole crew. Love these people
Ran into Annie 4 times at the festival! Weird, but I love and miss this girl. 
Did I mention we saw DJ Honey Badger? ha. 
Being safe and responsible by taking a cab... 10 people in a six passenger van. it.was.hot.
Our hostesses... Thanks guys!
Long lost friend Jenn! Love this lady, we did Bonnaroo together last year
The Civil Wars 
My Ladies! Jess, Me, Chelsea, and Whitney and big street beers (I still got the smallest one)
Can't wait till the next one, but for now, I'll be staying on program, no drinking, and working out everyday! Hopefully next week I can have a KILLER weigh-in! My goal is to be at or below 147 and for the first time in a LONG time be within my BMI weight range!

Send some good vibes my way if you get a chance. 
Love,

Saturday Fun Day

Saturday morning we slept in, and then went to breakfast at Aretha Frankenstein's. It is the most amazing restaurant in Chattanooga, and I completely dismissed my diet to go there, but sometimes you just have to give in. We took Jessica's daughter dog with us as pets can sit on the porch. Justice LOVES David, mostly because he gives her people food, but also because he likes to play and doesn't mind when she licks his feet. He carried slim jims in his pocket for her as treats, so he wins.

We planned on taking the day and just hanging out, Aretha's for brunch, and then some pet store shopping (David's plan), and hiking! That night we had plans to go to our friend Megan's engagement party, and then had tickets to see Iron and Wine!

Here's are some shots of the day.


This is how we started riding in the car
This is how we actually ride in the car for the rest of the day
Iron and Wine!!!!! Beautiful Bearded Angel
The Tivoli Theatre is gorgeous. The show was AMAZING

We hiked Rainbow Lake. it was a beautiful day and David and Justice went swimming under the waterfall. It was way to cold for me to get in so Jess and I just laid out in the sun and soaked up some Vitamin D. The engagement party was fun! A lot of people came and there was a SPREAD of food. I ate too much, but had a good time! 

We were so tired that night, and once we got back form the concert we were ready to crash. The party was still going on downstairs so we hung out for a bit and then went upstairs and watched a movie. 

Such a great day overall!

Friday Fun Day

I took the day off on Friday since I had really nothing to do at work and was over hours already for my GA. I slept in, cleaned the house, packed, and took my last final of the semester! David came home from work and we hit the road to Chattanooga!

That night we went to dinner at Urban Stack and I had the most amazing turkey burger ever! It wasn't on my plate long enough for a picture, but it was delicious. Then we headed to Track 29 for Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors opening for The Dirty Guv'Nahs.

This is the 6th? time I have seen The Dirty Guv's I think. They are from Knoxville and are such a fantastic show! I went with David, Jess, and Jessica's old roomie Erin! Erin is on a journey with Weight Watchers as well and has lost approx. 50.8 lbs!!!!! (Erin feel free to correct me if that's not exactly what you told me friday night). She has done so fantastic with the program and is continuing her journey as we speak!
