I can not believe I am in the 30's now! It's crazy to think that we are leaving in almost a month on our longest vacation ever! I'm getting super stoked to watch Ben in the Ironman, spend a week with the kids at Disney, spend another week with my BFF, and then visit family ( and the American Girl Store :-) in NYC! I almost don't want it to come, cause then it will be over in a blink of an eye...ever feel like that?
I just have to say, I feel like I won the lottery when I discovered the whole Trim Healthy Mama way of living. For once in my life, I don't wake up every morning DREADING that I have to "diet" that day! I LOVE not having to "count" anything and I love all the food I eat! I don't even have cravings for all the junk food, because there are so many recipes that will satisfy my cravings, and are good for me!
I was 194 today. It's not coming off super duper fast, but I feel amazing, and I feel skinnier. Sometimes I can hardly believe that I'm not in the 200's anymore. I was there for 3 years, besides a quick week or two that I went below, but then went back up. I'm so excited to keep going down and eventually hitting my goal weight of 170-175. I pray that I will be pregnant before that happens...haha...but I am planning on staying on THM even during a pregnancy, so maybe I just wouldn't gain as much as I did with my son. Right now I'm just happy to be losing, even if it's not super fast, and not feeling like I'm dieting in the process! 180's watch out...I'm coming for you! :-)

Day 59
Yup. It's official. I have won the award for "The worst blogger EVER." I just have to accept the fact that as much as I would love to be, I am just not cut out for the blogging world. Great intentions are always there, but rarely followed through with!
On a happier note, I am around 198 right now! I have been hovering around this number, give or take a pound either way, for a couple weeks now, but believe it or not, I'm fine with it! I had 2 small trips and a lot going on, and managed to pretty much stay on plan, with only a few small cheats. I ordered a new workout video which should arrive this week, and I'm super excited to get started with it. I only have a week and a half left of work, so it should be much easier to have time to work out after that. I would really love to be 185 when we go to Florida, but even if I was 190 and feeling trim from working out...I would be happy! I really feel confident that I can stay on plan for the vacation. Last night was the first night in 8 weeks that I really cheated. Like bread and butter, fried food, cheated. It was my husband's 30th birthday and my sister and husband took us out to eat. The place we went is known for their hot butter rolls with homemade cinnamon butter. I just decided that I was going to enjoy myself and get back on plan. Normally that doesn't happen for me. If I go off plan, it turns into a month off plan. I just love this new way of eating, that I knew I could jump right back on this morning without a problem. I was right. What I DIDN'T think of though, is how SICK the food would make me! I felt sick all night and crappy all day today! If anything, I am glad that I totally pigged out and felt sick, because it made me realize how much I don't want to go back to eating like that! I love how I feel eating the way I am now, even if the weight isn't always pouring off me! Lesson learned! :-)
It is the lovely time of month for me, so hopefully I can just hang in there and do my best this week and then start a nice workout regiment next week and start losing some inches. People say they usually gain some on this workout program, but lose inches, so I am prepared for the scale to go up a bit....just hoping not too much! :-) Have a great week everyone!
