I had wayyy too much sodium yesterday so my scale is very up. No regrets, but I'm chugging water today and tomorrow to flush out my system for weigh-in! How are we all feeling?

Well I won’t be making my DietBet goal weight at this point, but I’m still really proud of the progress I have made. Any progress is good progress and I’m proud of the decisions I’ve made over the past month, even the ones when I decided to enjoy dessert. I find being a part of these bets really motivating and encouraging, even if I don’t win.

I had a big day today—and it was such a good one.

My husband and I went to Star Western Wear so he could look for jeans. I wasn’t planning on getting anything for myself. Honestly, I haven’t bought myself clothes willingly in over a year. But something in me said to just try.

I picked out a really cute white blouse in a size medium, a dress in a large, and a few other pieces. When I went into the fitting room, I had to give myself a little pep talk: “It’s okay if it doesn’t fit.” Even trying things on felt like a big step. But then something unexpected happened the blouse fit. And not only did it fit, it looked good. The dress? It looked beautiful on me.

I didn’t even want to come out and show my husband at first. This moment felt personal. But I ended up buying the dress for a date night, and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t need anyone else’s opinion to decide. I knew how I felt in it. I felt confident. I felt beautiful.❤

This is a big non-scale win for me—and a reminder that progress isn’t always measured by numbers. Sometimes, it’s measured in moments like this.

Has anyone experienced going to bed with a certain weight, and waking up 3lbs heavier?

Y'all. I legit fell out of my swing at aerial yoga yesterday and started reassuring everyone I was fine before I'd even finished hitting the ground. I was not actually fine, and my knee is killing me today.

I'm still going back today for another round. The worst thing that could happen already happened, so I'm less scared today.

I'm doing something way outside my comfort zone this week. I have always been most insecure around yoga girlies- they are basically who I aspire to be but feel like an imposter when I try because I am SO bad at yoga. Well, I joined a local studio with a trial offer and signed up for a class everyday for the next week. I'm doing my first aerial yoga class today, targeted at very beginners, and I am so nervous and excited!! Anyone else trying new things to stay active? Any yoga tips?
