Day 44... Unplanned rest day :(

So late last night Ben informed me that he had to go into work today instead of working from home which he normally does on Fridays... that left me with watching Ava and no time to go to the gym today. I would have taken Ava for a walk but the way the sky looked it looked like it could rain any minute so I took today as my rest day. Don't get me wrong I had fun watching Sesame Street all day and cuddling with Ava but I am just bummed that I didn't get to try out my new workout shoes today I was really looking forward to breaking them in. They are all nice and cushy!!! Oh well I will just have to wait until tomorrow to try them out at the gym. It's crazy how missing one day at the gym can really make me miss it. I know that I need to give me rest days every now and then but still when it is unplanned it is hard. Next week will be hard to since if I want to go to the gym I will have to get up at 6 AM every morning. I will just have to push myself to do it... I'm so not a morning person.

My new workout shoes!!!

My appetite is slowly returning... unsure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. My cravings have gotten really bad... I haven't given into them yet but today it was real tempting to order Shrimp Alfredo for dinner... instead I will stick to my brown rice, peas and corn. I can't wait til this week is up and I can add flavor back into my diet. :) I'm starting to think Ava's taste buds are broken... she actually enjoys plain brown rice, peas and corn. Every night she has helped me finish my dinner. Crazy kid!

Today I bought a size 1X shirt and it actually fits... it's a little tight in the bust area but it still looks really good on me. I haven't bought a size 1X shirt in a long time. Also I need a belt for my size 16 jeans... they are baggy. Too bad my size 14 jeans are sooooo tight... I have a ways to go before I can fit into them... for now I will just have to get use to wearing a belt. :) All of these changes are really keeping me motivated. Plus all the kind and motivating words people keep saying to me... that really helps!

Let the lbs melt!!!
