Ok, hello log! I am just about to go to sleep after a night of errands and chores but I wanted to show you what I did over the weekend! Then I will run tomorrow.

































Also unexpectedly went to the Hot Sulphur Springs and had to buy a swimsuit at Walmart. This was the only one they had that "fit" me...



So I did singlehandedly lift like a billion logs/trees, play baseball, hike for firewood, do some axe chopping, lift boulders, lift babies and shoot stuff. We didn't do an official hike but we did a fair bit of exploring and it was super fun. I'm really glad I got to go and it felt like a legit vacation.

I'm absolutely wiped out now. Going to go to bed super early tonight and get back on it tomorrow!

A little work e/n:

A coworker that hates me has been erasing poo poo off my whiteboard while I'm not around as a passive aggressive way to make me upset. He is one of the assistant Project Managers and everyone here dislikes him, yet I still don't understand what would make someone act so childish. I wrote him an email addressing the issue so I could get it documented and acknowledged, but I am still upset about it.

Other than that, having a good day. DYING to get back to the gym ffs.

While cleaning and doing chores last night I decided to try on my fairy princess dress again and to my surprise I could zip it all the way up on my own without the help of my boyfriend or without sucking in and pinching my skin in it!

Where do I weaaaaaaaaaaaaar it?!

I think I am really starting to not like my hair this blonde. I have spent so much time and energy turning it back that I feel stupid I don't like it... What should I do with it now?

I feel like lifting tonight but I probably should run. Wanna lift some burgers... to my mouth.

I also spent a ton of time/money/effort turning my hair blond and didn't like it. I dyed it back (which was another gently caress-all of a process), but I'm much happier with it not blond. vv ymmv.

Forgive me self for I have sinned. My boss bought me entrance into an all you can eat pie day at the bakery next door. NEEDLESS TO SAY, whatever I hadn't eaten on the list above I will probably skip now that I've fulfilled the day's calories (probably).

Here are the flavors I tried (only one bite, unless it was a pot pie or quiche):

New England Blueberry Cheese
Peach Struesel
Michigan Cherry Almond
Dutch Apple
Banana Cream
Boston Cream Pie
Swiss Chocolate Mousse
Keylime
New York Cheese Cake
Old Fashioned Pecan
Vermont Maple Pumpkin
Quiche Lorraine
Chicken Pot Pie
Beef Pot Pie (by far my favorite)

Gonna lift so hard tonight then probably throw up all the pie while deadlifting lookin' like that guy in Stand By Me:

Workout out felt good, and I felt strong. That poor little Gregory guy was there and he saw me when he walked in but I didn't acknowledge him. Before he could come up to talk to me (while I was mid deadlift) I saw him fail a bench with no spotter (I think it was like 165lbs?) and felt SO bad for him. I put the weight down but that hot chick came and curled the weight like it was nothing and he spent the rest of the day with her.

Gonna play some Diablo 3 and listen to Opeth!

Another hard run day. Did some excercises with some coworkers during the day, it's fun.

Is it normal after running to have the place behind your knees tingly like they fell asleep? Also I was very dizzy after this run. Biking home was pretty hard but the night air was finally starting to cool down and it felt nice.

I am really liking having the bf come to the gym with me... maybe he will... please get huge

Here are a couple more "Bri is drunk" camping pics, and also I lifted the poo poo out of this child multiple times:

So I have been really depressed lately about my weight hovering between 146 and 148, especially since I've been lower before. I know I shouldn't be worrying so much to the number on the scale anymore, but god damnit it bothers me.

I decided to take some measurements today, since I am impatient. I'll take more measurements 8 days from now when it has been an entire month, but here is todays:

7/18/12 ---> 08.10.12

Bust - 35.5" ---> Bust - 35.25"
Waist - 28.25" ---> Waist - 27.25
Hips - 38.5" ---> Hips - 37.75
Arms - 12.25" ---> Arms - 12"
Thigh - 19.25" ---> Thigh - 19"
Calf - 14" ---> Calf - no change

This makes me feel a little better but I still irrationally want to see the number on the scale go down.

I guess this means I am like a ~* beautiful diamond *~ ... getting... harder.

Really, you are thin enough now (and I get that this can be hard to "see" yourself, especially if you've been trying to lose weight for a long time) that the scale just won't budge as easily, and you're lucky in that recomp is happening on its own

You honestly look amazing and have even more amazingness ahead of you. Best part is you're super cool too so the universe is finally getting something right

Front squat form is pretty solid. Really make sure you keep your core braced so you don't fold at the bottom and try to catch a bounce to help you out of the hole. But they are nitpicks, for a (quite heavy!) PR that form's really good.
