Rest Days Can Pay Off

I've been honest with y'all (and myself) that I haven't stuck to my diet like I should have, and so I haven't been losing like I could have been the last few weeks. Last week was marginally better as I've been balancing the beer/water/calories better on days that I go out. I did see a drop to 214 this morning though which puts me at 39 pounds down. It's funny that I saw such a drop considering yesterday was the laziest day I've had in MONTHS. It's been raining for two weeks now which puts a damper on riding and outside activities. My weekend plans got cancelled. So I gave myself a day to lay around and binge Netflix. (Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. was pretty good btw.) I drank lots of water and didn't snack much. It was a delightful day!

I'm way behind my initial goals- I think that a bit of a funk over my upcoming birthday and not being under 200 had a lot to do with that- but I'm at the very least maintaining, and feeling good. Last week I went to the gym 4 times- Sun, Tues, Wed (Yoga), and Sat (Yoga). It was a good week, and one that I hope I can repeat now that I'm not teaching as many classes over the summer. I like the yoga class... it's certainly a challenge, and it focuses on balance and flexibility, two things I've been concerned about.

I haven't eaten anything interesting lately, so no recipe. lol

I hope to really shape up and focus these next few weeks until my birthday. I gave my mother a family portrait session for Mother's Day and I'd like to look my best for them. We haven't taken a  picture as a family in YEARS- like since I was in high school. Both of my parents had weight loss surgery, and I won't lie... I don't like being the fattest person in my family. I'd like to at least fit in with them in the pictures.
