Bonnaroo Bound!

No weigh in this week folks, I am heading out to Manchester, TN today for the 4 day blow your mind music festival that is Bonnaroo.

For the next 4 days I will be camping with great friends, listening to some awesome music, drinking good beer and dancing the night away covered in glow sticks and face paint. I.CAN'T.WAIT

Bonnaroo is an experience all in its own. It is one of the best music festivals in the country and we wait patiently every year for Valentine's Day when they first announce the line-up, and the beginning of June when we can head back to the farm.

I'll be sure to take lots of pictures and have a full recap when I get back, but till then I'll be unplugged.

Some things I want to do this year:
1) silent disco (foster the people is going to dj one night!)
2) ferris wheel at night
3) stay up LATE at a dancing glow stick covered show
4) get in good with the Woodchuck people at the broo'ers fest, get some free stuff
5) eat dinner at the food truck oasis
6) meet new friends
7) do one class at the Academy
8) Talk to the Dirty Guv's (we have seen them almost 10 times already, now's the time for talking!)
9) Find one new band to love
10) Relax, be safe, and have fun with my best friend!

I'm off to the store to gather the last of my materials and finish packing. If anyone else is heading out to Bonnaroo BE SAFE. See ya there!!

BONNAROO

Peace & Love,

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,
