On Wednesdays We Wear Pink

Hello hello. A little book update -- I'm about halfway through #12: The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness, which is yet another young adult trilogy about a dystopia. I seriously love reading this stuff, but it definitely starts to creep into my life a bit. Every once in a while I feel like I'm going to get jumped by a zombie/soldier/crank/spackle (terms from my latest books) whenever I round the corner!

Last night I went to zumba after work and it was great once again! I can't say enough how happy I am that my Tues-night teacher has stepped it up. Also letting go of Thursday night classes has been such a relief. It really sucks to spend over an hour at the gym and feel like you've done nothing. So it will be 1 zumba class a week for now on. I must make it to that Saturday afternoon dance class this week!

After zumba I came home and had some breakfast for dinner: two over easy eggs with turkey bacon and toast.

I ate this while watching the Biggest Loser and sobbing at the end. Even though I never really liked him I was so proud of Jeremy!!!

Weight Loss Struggles 

I mentioned a few weeks ago that one of my struggles with weight loss was eating out. On a related note, I'm struggling to simply deal with the weekends. I feel like I almost perfectly follow my plan Monday-Friday night. I eat healthy, portioned, nutritious foods and exercise fairly hard. Then the weekend roles around and the shiz hits the fan. The last few weeks I have had some sort of event that has resulted in me drinking/eating A LOT. There's no excuses for this, these are things that I WANT to do. It sucks that I have to choose between losing weight and doing these types of things on the weekends but that's what it's coming down to. As summer approaches and my weekends are filling up I'm getting more anxious about how to deal with this. Do I just avoid it altogether or try to gather some willpower that will last?
