3 weeks left...really?"

I cannot believe that we only have three weeks left!

This last week I made strides to eat fresher foods. I didn't pop a lean cuisine in the microwave once. Although, I came to find that I simply cannot eat a salad at work everyday. After lunch on Friday I felt like a rabbit and scrambled for a mini milky way to cope. In that state a mind a fruit cup wouldn't do, I had to find something really junky. I figure now that I really have to switch it up! Or else I'll go crazy again and look for some thing to rebel with.

For the first week ever I'm looking forward to arms day! I feel like I've pretty far with my push ups! No more modified for me! I can't go down very far yet but this week I wanna really pay attention to the distance I go down so I can try to push myself and track my improvement. I do feel like my arms look better than they ever have! It make me a little impatient with my belly! Although, I should zip my lip b/c I am on track with my goal of loosing four inches around my belly button by the end of the 2 months. two inches down - two to go!!!


(The pic is me after my cold weather lacrosse game! It took me about 2 minutes to get comfortable in the 45 degree weather so I know my body was burning those calories!!)

This week I am focusing on my nutrition! I'm going to mix up my meals a bit so I don't OD. I'm looking to keep it as fresh as possible so I can help my belly shrink! And my goal is to take my Shakeology EVERY day. I've fallen off the wagon with that one.

Also, I reached one of my goals of being a size 8. YESSSSS!!! And now I want to be a size six!! It's interesting that this is my goal now b/c I've always considered that to be "skinny girl" size. I've always considered myself to be a big boned/thicker lady. But I'm getting out of that now. I feel very fit and getting down to a size 6 is fully possible b/c I have a ways to go with my belly and bit of back fat so I can get that to be better.

I've not said this so far in my blog so far but twice now my mom or dad have commented on my weight loss and insinuated that they have fear of me getting to skinny or even anorexic. Is this a cultural thing? Obviously the way I look now is a lot different then when I was a size FOURTEEN three years ago but I feel like I still look healthy. I definitely have more muscle than ever. Maybe since they may not see me eating like I used too they're worried. I realize that they are only looking out for me but I got VERY defensive to the comments. I know the concern comes from a place of love but I'm not sure how to react in those situations. Any advice?
