Sweet Summertime 7 Week 1 Check-Up

Happy Hump Day! I really need this week to fly by.

Today is Weigh-in Wednesday, as well as the official 1 week checkup for my Sweet Summertime 7! So here's how the 7 are coming along so far....


  1. Run a 5k: Haven't been ballsy enough to run yet with my toe, but I'm planning on it Thursday after work and before kickball.
  2. Get down to 165 lbs : Well, today I weighed 184 flat. That's down 1.2 pounds from last week. Considering what I've been eating this week and  how little I've worked out, I'll take it.
  3. Get down to a size 8-10 and Medium : Workin' on it.  
  4. Learn portion control: This is still a struggle for me.
  5. Do a fitness class every week : This week my work schedule has been all over the place and has not allowed for me to make a class that sounds appealing. But next week I have all late shifts (noon-830PM) so I plan on going to a morning class.
  6. Feel comfortable in a bikini in a picture without a cover-up :Workin' on it.
  7. Go on a hike at least once a month : Perhaps this Sunday?
So, as you can see, I haven't made a ton of progress. But it's only been a week. If you want to join me in setting goals for yourself this summer, please do!!!

Since I weighed in today, I also wanted to linkup for Weigh In Wednesday.


Pretty Strong Medicine

Like I said before, I've lost 1.2 pounds since last week. Which I'm perfectly happy with. I'm not morbidly obese considering my height and actual size/muscle mass, so I'm not over here trying to lose 6 pounds a week. That isn't healthy unless you're on a ranch with a little crazy lady screaming at you to move your ass and being monitored heavily by doctors. Just a friendly reminder :) 

Last night, I drug my butt to the gym after I got off work (at 830 at night, might I add). With my commute, I got there at 9. I attempted to get on the spinning bike, but my vajay-jay hurt like hell after a few minutes so I used it as my warmup and hopped onto an elliptical for another 20. I increased my resistance and incline a few times to vary my heart rate, and I feel like I got a decent workout in, considering. Then I randomly picked out a few weight machines and did a few free-weight exercises to get Jillian Michaels' arms (in my dreams), and then I tanned. Sue me.

And here's some pinspiration:




And this is a cool pin I found a while ago and actually used. I lace my shoes like in the picture, but there are tons of other ways depending on your feet shape/issue.



I hope everyone has a great Wednesday, and I can't wait to read everyone else's progress :)

  2. Thank you!! And yes, she has that power over me too!! It's amazing how much more motivated I feel when Biggest Loser is on TV and I can see her yelling at those people for real Lol.

  3. At first I didn't see the decimal point inbetween 1 and 2 and I thought it said 12 lbs down from last week!

    Awesome job on the loss! I want those shoes! The nice thing about working out is there are so many cute styles of shoes and clothes now!

  4. Hahaha I WISH I could lose 12 pounds in a week (in a healthy way , of course)!! And yesssss I'm much more likely to work out if I feel like I have cute clothes on :) I found a Victoria's Secret Pink sports bra (with actual cups in it) on SALE the other day and I'm obsessed.
