Change, now or never: Things are a-changin

Happy Monday! I meant to write this post over the weekend, but you know life happens! Between going to Medieval Times on friday to celebrate my birthday (that is tomorrow) and work.. it was a busy weekend! So , Friday we headed down to Arundel Mills Mall to Medieval Times to have dinner and watch the show. I have been working so hard, so I caved in a little on Friday and treated myself to a strawberry margarita and apple turnover. I know, such a rebel! I also bought myself a new outfit for the event, which consisted of a new skirt... that was size 10! It was a little snug around the thighs, but I am getting so far from where I was and so close to where I want to be. With my birthday approaching I knew I needed to give in to something to celebrate my birthday, and I figured an apple turnover was a better choice than birthday cake. I have been doing so well, and thought I deserved this! However I did end up working out on Saturday, because I felt so guilty from my indulges the night prior. Not to mention I created this goal of wanting to lose 26 lbs by 26... which is tomorrow! So I wanted to get some extra workouts in.

Saturday's workout consisted of some gym time, and then headed to the park to workout with a friend. My friend Sarah and I went to the Windsor Park to play some tennis and walk. While playing tennis I was getting so hot wearing my tshirt. I struggled with the idea of taking my shirt off and playing in just my sports bra. Ask Sarah, I fought with the idea for about 5minutes. I ended up giving in and taking my shirt off, mind you there were people on the other two tennis courts, and people down at the basketball court. I played the rest of the game and walked a mile with my shirt off in just my sports bra. I know it doesn't sound like much. But two months ago I would never even considered the idea. If you haven't seen any of the other posts or seen pictures, I am a heavy chested girl. So that along with the being a size 16/18 previously would have held me back from wearing just a sports bra and shorts. But I did it, and I felt good. I felt like the athlete I was turning into.

I will have a new post on either tuesday ( my birthday =)) ) or wednesday! Look out for that one to see if I made my goal! Until then check out the pictures and new food video!
