At last- spring!

Spring is officailly here. I cannot put into words how happy I am, so, I won't even try!

I had a wonderful weekend. I went on a sweet shopping spree at an outlet mall Friday. The weather was out of this world nice. So warm, I even broke out the flip flops! Saturday, I went to an aquarium, it was the coolest place I think I have ever been. So over all weekend wise, amazing! I did great with my food, and got in a lot of walking. Picture perfect to say the least :)

With all this warm weather and the arrival of spring, I remembered about all my summer clothes packed away in draws that I had forgotten about. I tried on everything today, and basically, I will be spending a lot of money on everything new for summer. NOTHING fits. Bathing suits are huge, shirts look like dresses, my sun dresses look like big blankets, and my pants just simply fall off. That is probably one of the best feelings I have had so far on this journey. Seeing all my hard work over winter pay off!

The new planet fitness opened too! I'm pretty sure it opened sometime last week, but I was so busy I didn't even find out till about 4:15 today, I was there working out by 4:30! I love it. It's all so new and exciting. It's only 10 minutes from my house. That is going to make going to the gym so much less time consuming.

With spring and the new gym here, I didn't think I could feel more motivated than I was after my last weigh in, but I am. Cannot wait to see my results on Thursday!

I really didn't eat enough today! When you eat healthy, it is so hard to eat the right amount of calories. It is so much food! Only because everything is so low calorie. That's why it is so important to journal, so you see exactly what you eat. Not eating enough can have the same effect as eating too much. You will gain weight.
