Week 40 - If I'm being honest..

If I'm being honest, life gets in the way sometimes.  

As most of you know, I have two small children.  My girls take priority over everything.  With it being summer, they've wanted to be outside more.  Playing in the sprinkler, learning to ride bikes, eating outside, etc.  You know it outside and they want to do it.  I say this not as an excuse, but a reason of why I haven't blogged in a while.  To be able to sit down at the computer and write hasn't been a possibility recently.  

There's been some other things that have come up over the past couple months too.  But, this isn't the place for bitching.  

So...  onto the week's weigh-in  

 I'm up 1.4 pounds. 

For not writing down what I've been eating for the past month, I'm happy with a 1.4 pound gain.  I've been keeping track in my head of my macros and moving when I can.  I took 2 barre classes last weekend that I really liked.  Next week I'll be able to get back into my full time workout routine as well as tracking my macros.  In addition, I need to start practicing for when I become a spin instructor!  

All that said, I ask you to bare with me.  I haven't (and won't!) give up.  I'm so close to Onederland and am still determined to get there by the end of the summer!  

Onto non-scale victories...  

1.  I bought a BIKINI!  Now, it's a high-waisted bikini and I'm still getting comfortable in it, but I'm pretty proud of myself!  

2.  Today I'm wearing size 18 jeans that are WAY too big on me.  At the end of the day they'll be going in my donate pile.  

Fall is coming and I have NO fall/winter clothes that fit me.  I have to be frugal with my shopping but need some feedback on great stores to shop.  I adore Macy's so that will stay.  But, I would love to hear about your favorite place to shop!
