I was ridiculously good yesterday. I burned more than 800 calories (didn't wear my heart rate monitor for walk after I hit 879) and only ate 990. I guess that I ate too late in the day around 9pm and didn't get enough sleep - about 4-5 hours. Or, maybe my body is rebelling against the low number. But, I don't want to raise them yet not with Jamaica so close and a stupid weekend away with food temptations between now and then. Also, I weighed in at 5:30am which is way earlier than when I weigh on the weekend because that's when I sleep in. I think I might consider my Tuesday weights to be "official" since those come at the end of each of my challenge weeks. I am trying not to panic about it, and I am trying not to just give up and eat a box of donuts.
I had a pretty boring weekend to be honest. I did go shopping. I feel like I'm buying way to much crap for Jamaica. I don't really need more sundresses. I can't wear them to work, and with the BF out of town, it's not like I get to wear them on the weekends either. Also, except for a ridiculously hot week in May, it hasn't been a super warm summer here. The only good part is that I got a couple of sundresses in size Small at a store that is super cheap, so they're pretty skimpy on material and I usually have to buy a medium. One I am going to take back. I was just so stoked that it fit and I didn't look like a munchkin in it. I generally don't try on, much less buy, maxi-dresses because I am short. I need things to hit at my knee or above. But the print on this dress screamed Jamaica and when I put it on, it was a little bit form fitting (it was a small after all) but it made me feel SO sexy and not short at all. I hate to return it, (it only cost $17, but at a cheap store that's still kind of a lot) but, even so, if I'm never going to wear it again, what's the point? Sadly, I will probably enlist my mother's opinion before I decide for real.
I was so pissed yesterday I texted my BF and said, I am moving out before they come back to live here in the fall. (So yeah, my mom owns two houses. I live at one and she divides her time between the two. She meant to sell the one I am in, but then the market took a nosedive and she doesn't want to take a loss.) Anyway... She kept telling me that she understood why I didn't want to go out to eat with her and my brother, but then she'd pressure me to go. In the end I stood firm and said I am not going. Only to have her car break down. So my brother came over instead. I had hoped to be out of the house before he got there so that the "I have plans" excuse would look valid, but no such luck. So then my mom keeps asking, "wont' you come out with us." "can't we convince you" as if I had not already said to my brother I have other plans! I was infuriated. I still didn't go. I said, no I was heading out the door, I had plans and I'd be back later, probably after they finished. And then I went shopping : ) I got two dresses, (probably take that one back tho), a pair of flip flops, and cheap sunglasses for running (can't find my other pair) so I don't ruin my nice ones. All of it on clearance!
The other problem - I really want this bikini (even though it's just like my goal bikini but solid, and I have a white, and a blue bikini alread, and a black one piece) Just because I love the color!

I think you should keep the dress.. If you loved it and made you feel sexy then you already have 2 reasons to why you should keep it. :)
And that bikini is really cute! You should ttly get that one too... hehe.. You work hard and you deserve to have some fun with the shopping. :)
Nice exercise!
I love trying on small clothes and finding they fit :) at that price I think you might as well keep it if you feel good in it, even if you only wear it a couple of time :)

Try not to panic at the gain. Just stay steady. It will go down.
