Disney World

Tyler and I took a long awaited vacation this past week to sunny Lake Buena Vista, FL! We spent Sunday thru Wednesday at my parents timeshare and had so much fun at all four Disney parks. It was so nice to get away from Mobile, and have that quality mother-son bonding time. I even managed to lose 3 more pounds while i was there! How about them apples....I certainly didn't adhere to my diet regimen while away, so it was comforting to me to see the loss. : )

Another weigh in...

Well my weigh in this morning wasn't as successful as the others, but I did lose two pounds of fat. It is a loss and i will take it. We are switching to Weight Watchers to continue our weightloss journey. I am taking my 17 pound weightloss from Medi and using it as my springboard for success at WW. We still have all the tools, etc. from the last time my mom did it, so no huge expense is having to be put out and that is always nice. I bring my new found knowledge of portion sizes and reading labels to the table, as well as, my new love for exercise. I am confident that we are making the best choice at this point. Thank you momma for everything you are doing for me! The gift of health is worth more than anything. I love you!

Belle of the ball...

Just thought I would share a few pix of my mom and Gary heading out to the Inca's Ball tonight! I love Mardi Gras and going to the balls! Next year, I will be going back!

Day 21...15 pounds lost!!

I weighed in this morning and was happy to hear that i had lost another 6 pounds! That brings my current weightloss to 15 pounds in 3 weeks. Can you H-A-P-P-Y? I am so excited. I also had to look through my closet to see if i had any old pants that would fit me, so i could leave the house....i found a pair that were two sizes smaller and they fit perfectly! Yay!!! I will reach my goal in no time! Here is a picture from this morning...look at the difference in my big photo of me and tyler and me today! I love it...

Personal trainer.....hmm.....

Ok, so I had this idea that my personal trainer was actually going to "train" me tonight...wrong! He just sat there and talked to me about what I wanted to accomplish and then told me that i was already doing what he would tell me to do. The only thing different was that I dont need to do everything I am doing in one day...i need to do weights on Tuesdays/Thursdays and cardio on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Well...........ok! I was actually a little disappointed, because that only took like maybe 5 minutes. So I went and worked out by myself for an hour and a half. : ( he told me to check in with him in a month so he can check my progress. How are you going to check my progress, when you didn't weigh me or measure me, etc. Oh well.....i kicked my own tail tonight! Kind of goes back to the saying, "Who needs a man?" lol....

Exercising...my new passion? hmmm...

Ha ha, this is a funny thought to me. One, because i have always loathed it and two...i hated doing it in front of people. Today, after our morning doctors visit, we headed off to the gym and wound up working out for three hours! Whew....I worked up a good sweat. The lovely thing about Planet Fitness is that you can work with a personal trainer for free (unless you want one on one instruction at their cost). So I am taking advantage! Tomorrow night, from 7-8 pm, I will be working with Brad. (I think he is good looking) He is getting ready to graduate from South in Sports Medicine. He only works with groups of four at certain times, and designs a program based on what i want and need to happen with my body...so I am looking forward to this. I fully expect him to whip my tail into total hottness! ha ha...wish me luck!

Two weeks gone..and so is 9 pounds!

You read that headline right! As of this mornings weigh in, I am now 9 pounds lighter! i am so excited. I was really worried because i felt out of ketosis (according to the ketostix) about four days ago and can't seem to get back in; however, Kay assured me this morning that it is impossible to lose the weight and not be in ketosis. Not to worry...so we are going about our business and tackling another week. My mom lost 7.5 pounds this week and brings her total to 14 pounds in two weeks! I am so glad that we are doing this together...it makes it so much better. I will post pix tonight to show my progress..
