Fourth Month Fitness Update

I'm happy to report that I signed myself up for 3 more months of Pilates! But I'm not-so-happy to report that in the three weeks since I last posted measurements, I haven't lost much for weight and measurements. I'm still going to Pilates or Spin and now I've added in Barre Fusion... but I've been sucking at eating healthy, so I'm not really seeing many changes anymore. In any case, I'm still going to show you pictures, so brace yourselves.

So really? In three weeks I've only lost three-quarters of an inch? Yikes. I need to step up my game and really crack down on my food intake. And beer and wine intake. This is going to require a lot of discipline given that we're heading into Eating and Drinking Season.

I guess I never mentioned that I got my period, thus crushing my hopes of becoming a parent in late May/early June. This also detracts from my healthy eating. "F'k you period! I'm gonna eat cookies, so there." As if my uterus is spited whenever I eat cookies... I digress. I may elaborate in another post about the period that made me want to hide under a rock and what our next step is, but for right now... eating. Eating better. MUST. Eat. Better. And probably stop drinking. Boo.
