Well, I'm not really sure how I did it after my spectacular eating performance on Sunday when I was dead tired and high as shit, but apparently the rest of the week and the non-stop dancing at THON made up for my one bad day/night. Without further adieu (is that even right?) let's get to this week's total. I lost a solid 2.8 pounds!! This brings my total loss to 41.2 pounds!!! I'm LESS THAN TEN POUNDS from 50!! I can't believe it. I'm also about 7 pounds from the lowest I ever was with WW, making me hopefully the skinniest I've ever been before spring break.
Speaking of SB, we have 4 weigh-ins left until then and I'm preeeetty much on track to get to the 50 pounds right before then. And then I will need to get a new bathing suit...and at least a little bit of new warm weather clothing. However, I'm only going to get a few things in hopes that when June rolls around and it's actually summer, I'll have gotten down to my goal weight and the stuff that I buy in 4 weeks won't fit anymore.
In other news, THON was this weekend. And besides raising over 7.8 million dollars for Four Diamonds, I was able to see a ton of penn staters that I hadn't seen in ages. Think mostly the people that I don't really go out of my way to see when I go up to state for football. Every single person I saw was like "OMG! You look great!!!" and it FELT great! If anything, it's just motivating me more to look even more amazing in 8 weigh ins for blue/white weekend.

Sarah - Week 14
Weeeeee're Baaaaaaaack (on track)!
Welp, we survived the Blizzard(s) of 2010 and we definitely did a million times better during the second one than the first. My loss this week was a solid -3.4, bringing me back to a total loss of 38.4 pounds!! I can NOT believe that I'm only 11.6 pounds away from the big 5-0 and the technical goal of this blog!! Having that horrible week definitely was what I needed to get me back into the swing of things, diet and gym-wise, however, this larger weight loss after a mediumly bad weekend really solidifies to me the amount that being on the first day or so of your period affects your weigh in.
I'm so excited for THON this weekend, even if no one notices my ridiculous weight loss. It's been ages since I've been to State College and, as of now, they're not predicting any snow for the weekend. I can't wait to spend a lot of time with the people that I usually don't when I'm going up to school for games, etc.
In other news, Cati and I are officially GOING TO MIAMI for spring break to visit Erika. Our trip is in five weigh-ins so I'm hoping to be riiiight around that 50 pound goal when we're going. It's going to be awesome to feel so great about ourselves while we're tanning on the beach for five days! In LESS* than 10 pounds, I'm going to be officially "healthy weight" in BMI standards which is RIDICULOUS. I can't imagine the last time (11th grade) that I was at a healthy weight, and even then, I got just below that mark and then stopped losing.
Basically, I'm so happy to be back on track and motivated!
*Actually, I think I did the math wrong, or was consulting the wrong people because apparently my "healthy weight" and 50 pound goal and one and the same!! I would have to lose freaking NINTEY pounds to get into the "underweight" category, which I have NO intention of doing, so my 70 pound goal still sounds perfect!!

Sarah - Week 13
Well, I knew that at one point this would happen. Am I surprised that this happened this week? Abso-freaking-lutely not. We're in the middle of the freaking snowpocalypse and have been since last friday. I spent the entire weekend eating my feelings about not going to new york, not exercising, and drinking copious amounts of alcohol. It's also the first day of my period. Needless to say I gained 1.6 lbs, making my total weight loss and even 35 lbs. I was just so frustrated about so much so I just ate. And even though I didn't eat what I usually would have, I still made up for it when I was out for the super bowl and when I made brownies...and junk food. However, I do think that some of this does have to do with my period...so we'll just have to see.
Unfortunately, we're right back in the middle of this stupid blizzard, part two. The worst thing that I can do is eat and drink everything in sight. I'm just going to have a really good week and as good of a weekend as I can have when it's Jess's bday and (crossing my fingers) Amanda, Kyle, and Alex are coming down. I need to just get back on track, and have a great week so that I don't get discouraged. We have gotten SO FAR. I can't let this blizzard fuck up everything that I've worked so hard for. I just have to do my best and cross my fingers that next week will be better.
Fuck. This. Snow.

Sarah - Week 12
Woahhhh we're halfway there, woahhhhh livin on a prayer
This week was definitely a rough one, in life and in diet. Mostly, we've been doing this so long that I'm starting to get less motivated to go to the gym, etc, though we're still doing a great job eating right. We had a yummy dinner on monday night (that I made) of island soyaki marinated fish and garlicky backed brussel sprouts. Today, I'm feeling especially unmotivated due to the snow and obsessively waiting to hear back from grad school. Thankfully, I can dig out my car and go to work around 3 and attempt to not look at my phone for the entire 6 hours that I'm going to be there.
Enough about me, Let's get to the good stuff. Though I wasn't sure about this week, I ended up losing a solid 2.2 pounds, bringing me to a total of -36.6 pounds! I'm officially over halfway to my goal! Do I think that I'll be there in three months? No, because I know that it'll be tougher to lose weight as I get down and I know that I was losing it faster than I wanted for a while. Do I think I can be there in between 4 and 5? Absolutely. People are starting to count down to Blue/White weekend which is getting really exciting! It's a little over 11 weekends away and 11 weigh ins. Pretty exciting!
Cati and I are also going to Miami for spring break on March 29th. I'm excited for my new beach bod, even though it's not ready for a bikini just yet. Our trip is just over 7 weeks away, hopefully around 15 pounds away, and will be our celebration for reaching 50 pounds each!! Keep your fingers crossed for us and I'll keep you updated.
