But you know what though, I don't have a TON of weight to lose and 15 weeks is a sufficient amount of time to reach my goal. I'm not going to to CRAZY and undo the progress I've made/am making until the 1st, but I am going to enjoy the holidays, and my Christmas with the family this weekend, and my time with friends this week (girls night Thursday, although it's bittersweet as it's my friend Heather's going away party...boo!), and my New Years!
Btw, 2014 is going to be AMAZEBALLS (as Erika would say)! Steve's new job and extra income, not to mention the extra income from Advocare too! Kaleb is on the upward swing with the meds change and the new school! New schedule with the kiddos/my job so I can have my work weekends off with the whole family! Getting ready to refinance my house so it's officially ours! Hopefully pay my car off this year! And of course, my new body transformation!!! Oh my gosh, this is the first time I've thought of this all at the same time. I really can't wait to get this new year started!!!!!
I did log my food up until Monday I think, and it's on MFP, but I'm not going to bother logging right now. I will be keeping track of what I eat on paper, but not logging online for now. I'm reading a really good book right now, and between the info from that book, and from the sample meal plans I have from some previous show competitors, I'm working on creating my meal plan for January. I do think it will be achievable!! I just have to get more organized with my meal-and supplement planning!
Ok, so back up to last Friday. I love to meet my friend Emily for lunch on Fridays, so we tried out a new place, Upland Taphouse. Really good food, but need more dessert choices. ;) Check out my sandwich tho... as if they tenderloin slab isn't impressive enough, it also had BBQ pulled pork and bacon on it!
While we're on pics...let's do those first and then I'll go back and fill in my workouts!
Ok, so on Monday my friends Chrissy and Jess came over to lift at home with me. So Chrissy, although she is one of the most gorgeous people on this planet, I believe, she is not one of the tallest. We did tricep dips with a 30-lb sandbag on our lap, but between her slick pants and shorter legs, she was having difficulty keeping it up on her lap, so I told her to squeeze it between her thighs for an inner-thigh workout. I was TOTALLY joking, but next thing I know, here she is...
Tried taking some progress pics of my shoulders/back. Can def see more definition, but my crap-eating has left me bloated all over, maybe shouldn't take selfies on a rest day either! But here you go anyways.
I got our first shipment from Advocare today!!!! It was like early Christmas! All I took today was my "MNS Max 3" vitamin pack, a ThermoPlus (since it was rest day), and a Spark. Can't wait to start tomorrow (today technically) with my full regimen!! Yay Catalyst!!!! Can't wait to try the other ones that I haven't used yet!
So many more products I still want for next order too...and the 24-day challenge too of course!
(If you are interested in doing the challenge with me, email me at lesliehylton81@yahoo.com. You can check out more info, and all the products on my website here. )

REST DAY (what?!)
I know...sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day. I am planning on working one rest day a week into my new schedule though. I know I need it. It'll be good to have a low low carb day too, or maybe even a 24-hour fast here and there. We'll see...
Ok, long enough. Two more hours til bedtime!
HAPPY FRIDAY!
