18 days to go!!!

Wow, I cannot believe how fast time is flying! I've been so busy counting down to the wedding, I didn't realize that by the time the wedding was over and done with, we would be halfway through summer! So yes, the title is correct, there are 18 days to go!

I have to admit, I have slacked somewhat over the past week. I fit a few demi-bar pilates classes in, but didn't get to the gym like I had planned. I even took 3 whole days in a row off - just way too busy with other stuff, but I also think I needed that break. So I started back at it yesterday with a class in the evening, I'm doing two classes today, and I'll be doing as many double workouts as I can until the big day.

If anyone was wondering how the Trader Joe's Detox went, it was not great. I had to stop after 6 days. I truly think that I just wasn't getting enough nutrients because nothing was staying in my body long enough. I got a severe migraine that basically landed me in bed for three days, so I thought it was best to just stop. I wasn't a fan, but my friend didn't have any issues with it. The food restrictions are so frustrating though, that when it comes time to eat, you get so annoyed trying to figure out what to eat that you're not even hungry anymore. I did lose two more pounds after I was finished though!

Last week, my girlfriends and I went to the annual summer patio kickoff party at our favorite restaurant, Carlucci's.We had a blast, but the most fun part was interacting with the crowd. It was a very diverse crowd that night, and we were probably some of the youngest girls there (besides those super-skinny little models running around in bikinis). Out of nowhere, an older gentleman came up to me and said, "You have to have great legs to pull off an outfit like that.... and you do". Needless to say, I turned bright red in embarrassment. I really have no other reaction to that, other than, THANK YOU, demi-bar pilates!!!

Since I started this journey, I am officially down 10 pounds, and I have lost a total of 23.75 inches! I have lost a total of 15 inches since I started pilates in the beginning of May. So far it's been 3 months, and I'm pretty happy with the progress that I've made in this time. My clothes fit better, and some are even too big - isn't that the greatest feeling??

I'm taking off - time to get started on another busy day - and the bachelorette party is this weekend!!!
