Day 30 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. I stole my husband's Star Wars shirt in honor of May the Fourth.



Don't mind the horrible picture. I think it actually looked somewhat cute...

2. Done.

3. Done.

4. Done.

5. Done.

Also, as a side note: I accidentally brushed my hand against my bicep at work and was startled by the amount of muscle I felt without having flexed....so maybe that Sleek Arms stuff worked after all.

Day 29 of 30-Day Challenge

Soooooo...Dave and I went to Gatlinburg Saturday/Sunday to hang out with the Ennis' while they were on vacation there. Because of that (and because most of our time was spent in the car or walking), I chose to put the challenge on hiatus and continue once back. That being said, I am still counting those outfits.


This was Saturday. You can't see super well, but this skirt has pineapples, ice cream cones, watermelon, and palm frond/leafy things all over it.





















This was Sunday's, I always forget how much I like this dress until I wear it.



And also the guy. I like him a lot too. :D

So then also my computer is having lots of troubles and I haven't been able to post since I got back.

Mini wrap up:

Day 27
-All things accomplished.



Day 28
-All things accomplished...but I did have a cupcake and a piece of chocolate because of Vada's birthday at work. I did not take a picture because I forgot but I wore a dress that Renee wore a while back that has black and white stripes on top...whatever day that was.

Day 29 (being today)

I decided that I didn't want to wear the shirt normally because there's a pocket in front and it hits an awkard place, so I turned it backwards and I like it better this way. :D

All other things are accomplished except for the exercise stuff BECAUSE I was going to do them and I cut the back of my foot. So I am just going to do 36 squats. And see how my foot is doing tomorrow.

Day 26 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done.



2. Done.

3. Done.

4. Done.

5. Done.


Also, on an unrelated side note:

Dave got me lash boost (from Rodan + Fields) for my birthday!!!! And it came today!!!! So today also begins my lash boost journey. :D



Ignore the fact that I haven't washed my face yet and my eyebrows haven't been plucked in a couple of days.


So....this is before anything has been used on my lashes. We'll see in the next several weeks how things go! I'm going to try to post progress pictures on here like once a week.

Woooooooot WOOOOOOT!

Day 25 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. Broke out another Nicole. Obviously very simple, but SOOOO comfortable.



2. Done.

3. Done. AND clothes got put away.

4. Done.

5. DONE!

Day 24 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. Used up another of my favorite skirts and paired it with a new shirt and garage sale cardigan!



You can't see it in these pictures, but it's a purple skirt with little pink keys all over it.

2. Just about done with the 5th.

3. Done.

4. Done. And MAN, my arms are sooooo tired!

5. Done. Dave even tried to give me cookies and I said NO!

Day 23 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. Renee says I cheated because I pulled a dress out of my "to fix" pile and fixed it real quick before I wore it.



I think it still needs a little tweaking though.

2. Done.

3. Done.

4. Done.

5. No beef or sweets. But I did have pork again. I made mini eggplant and zucchini pizzas and had bought really good quality pepperoni to put on them. I was going to put turkey bacon on mine instead, but when I opened up the package, the bacon had gone bad. :( So rather than have nothing, I opted for pepperoni.

Day 22 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done.

2. Done.

3. Done.

4. Done.

5. Done! I resisted bacon and chocolate today!

What an exciting blog post.

Day 21 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. I wore one of my Nicole's today. So comfy. :)




2. Not even close. Only 2 bottles today. And I can feel the difference.

3. Done.

4. Finishing up the Sleek Arms as soon as I'm done posting. Will be adding the 30 pushups to tomorrow.

5. No beef. I had real bacon AND pizza with pepperoni and sausage. So probably too much pork. I did also have a brownie and a couple bites of cake at a birthday party. BUT I did refuse a milkshake yesterday AND today, so that's still a minor victory. I am going to see if I can make it two weeks with no sweets to make up for forgetting twice last week.

I'm also at a point where I think that no beef is definitely better for me. I feel like I have so much more energy than when I did Whole 30 and had quite a bit of it. I'm now pondering for May trying to eat paleo at least 5 days a week....I'm going to keep pondering.

Day 20 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. Ish? I wore the same black dress that I wore on Day 11 for the Maundy Thursday concert. We decided it was okay to do because I only wore it for that event (so about 5 hours) and then today I only wore it for about 5-6 hours.

I did not take pictures...because I forgot before I changed into pajamas...but there are plenty of pictures from Day 11.

2. Oof. Not good today. I've done 3 so far. I'll try to at least get the 4th in still.

3. Done.

4. Done.

5. No beef. I did have sausage today and a BITE of a brownie (because again, I forgot about the sweets!).

Day 19 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. Wore one of Dave's favorite dresses today.



Also, Renee wanted me to note that the previous days when she was not in the pictures, she was wearing my Lularoe maxi skirt with pineapples and watermelons and such on it.

2. I think I had 4 and one GIANT cup of tea. So I think that counts for hydration purposes.

3. Done.

4. Done.

5. No beef, no pork, no sweets. Although Renee offered me another one of those Snickers things. BUT I REFUSED!!

Day 18 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done.

It's not as frumpy looking as it is in this pic.




And somehow this happened...



2. Done.

3. Done.

4. Done. I think the total number of push-ups today was 73? Or thereabouts.

5. No beef. No pork. No sweets. Although I did remember today that yesterday I did have sweets and I completely forgot. Renee was swayed by the Shadow Organization and brought Snickers ice cream bars to work. :( (and it was my lunch)

Day 17 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. Used up one of my favorites today.

2. Done.

3. Done.

4. Did everything but the up-up down-downs. I'll add those in to tomorrow's.

5. Done.

Day 16 of 30-Day Challenge.

1. Done.



2. Done.

3. Done.

4. Will do right after I post.

5. No beef. No pork. No sweets.

Day 15 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. I also counted the outfits that I have left that I love and am trying to space out. I think it was 8?






Also, when I set down my phone with the selfie camera still turned on, I accidentally got kind of a fun shot of the light.



And then this happened.

That's my sister trying to be E.T.

2. At 4 right now. Will definitely finish another before bed.

3. Done.

4. Done. I caught up on all the up-up down-downs (not fun) and I'm at 45 push-ups for the day so far because I had to make up for a Rising Heroes challenge. I may end up doing another 24 tonight because I'm not done catching up... :(

5. No beef. No pork. No sweets. But yes Chick-fil-a. No regrets.

Day 14 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. With a lot of outfit changing. I'm definitely at the point where I'm angry at my clothes.... Today I wore one of Renee's dresses, mostly out of the practicality of needing to wear something Easter-y but with a belt because I sang on the worship team today.

Also, Thomas had to leave after church, so we took an actual cute picture before he left. :D



2. Done. And a mug of ginger tea.

3. Done. I tidied my dresser and then it got messy again...but I tidied it a second time!

4. Done. Again, ish. I didn't do the up-up-down-downs again, so I think I'll need to do a total of 18.

5. No beef. No pork. We did have some cheesecake as an Easter dessert, so I'm done for the week!

Looking forward to this week being less crazy than the previous couple weeks. For me, anyways. Dave and Renee both have rehearsals every day this week.

Day 13 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. But I have to admit, I got really angry at my clothes today.





Also, my family likes to take ridiculous pictures.

2. I think I got up to 3, so not as great. I'll try to get another in tonight.

3. Dresser is tidy. Sheets are currently being washed, so the bed will be made after :D

4. Done. Ish. I did not do the up-up-down-downs today, but will add them to either tomorrow or Monday.

5. No beef, no pork, no sweets. However, I did have some pizza crust and Chinese for dinner. :(

Day 12 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. And sadly, my make-up spurted all down the front of my dress. Again :( But I think it will come out. I hope.

2. Done.

3. Done.

4. Done. And I did yesterday's Sleek Arms Challenge. I think I had a total of 41 push-ups today. So I haven't made up from yesterday quite yet. I'll probably do that on Monday?

4. No beef. Dave did get me a bagel sandwich with bacon on it, so I ate that. And it was tasty. I think I might try to add sweets once a week to this also.

Day 11 of 30-Day Challenge

1. Done. Twice?

We had our Maundy Thursday event tonight, so I wore one outfit during the day and changed for the service.




So that's what I wore during the day.




Renee and I decided that both of these outfits could be worn again, but only for a couple of hours, since neither outfit was worn for the full day.

Also, THOMAS IS HERE VISITING!!

And we took these pictures.






So anyways.....

2. Done. And two mugs of homemade ginger tea.

3. Ummm...dresser is tidy...and I'll make the bed before I go to sleep...so done-ish?

4. Not done. Not even a bit. I didn't really have time today. But I'll do double tomorrow.

5. No beef. No pork. Almost had pepperoni pizza, but I opted for plain cheese instead.

Completely exhausted. Good, but long day.
