I got in one last work out with Melissa before my Disneyland trip. I decided to weigh in just to track what goes on during my vacation, and pending trip to Virginia. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I had lost another 1lb. I was so thrilled to see the scale go down once again. That means I've lost 12 pounds so far. I ALMOST reached my goal of losing 15. Which, let's be honest, that was a pretty lofty goal to begin with. 12 lbs is AWESOME!!! I'm looking forward to losing another 12 pounds!! My long term goal, which is a year, is to lose another 34lbs. That would get me to where I feel is a healthy weight and easy to maintain.
Now, my goal from now until Mar. 27th is to not gain any weight. Of course it would be awesome to lose something while still vacationing. But I'm not going to expect that. I just want to maintain and kick it into high gear when I get back.
I'm not sure what I'm more excited about. My trip to The Happiest Place on Earth, or my weight loss. I think I am just over flowing with JOY!
My next small goal will be to try and lose 15 more lbs before our Stake's Trek. That is 5lbs a month. My medication runs out in the middle of April. Which makes me a little scared, and to be honest a lot anxious. I know that the main reason I'm having so much success is due to the meds suppressing my appetite. I just need to call my Dr. and find out what the next step is once I run out.
I know that eating tons of Fruits and Veggies is going to be key to my success. I keep writing this, thinking this, talking about this so I can instill this into my soul. And in the very near future, I will become a fruit and veggie eating machine.
Here's to a long needed vacation with the Husband.

Excietment Continues
Yesterday I tried on some clothes that I haven't been able to wear in a long time. They were just too tight and made me feel discouraged about myself. To my pleasant surprise, a few of them I could fit into again. I still have a long way to go. But I can't express enough how relieved I am that I am beginning to see results. To feel good about myself again. To see muscle again in my legs, to watch my arms get thinner. I know that I owe a lot of my success to my thyroid finally leveling out and to the phetramine. But i don't care. Like I've mentioned before, I'll take it. Seeing results is so ding dang exciting and makes me want to work even harder. And that is just what I have been doing. I've been running on the treadmill, and working out hard with Melissa. It is once again rewarding to work so hard. I love it when the sweat drips into my eyes, down my neck and in between my boobs. It's awesome and I know I am changing my body. I use to hate looking in the mirror. All I would do is focus on all the things that were wrong. Now, it's not so bad. Now I can see changes visibly too. My excitement for this year continues to grow and grow and grow. I get emotional when I think about what this year is going to bring for me. It's going to be amazing.
Well I worked my butt off to lose 15lbs before my trip to Disneyland with my husband. I got close to that goal. Now, my goal is to not gain any weight while I am away on my trips. It's a good thing that Disneyland is a destination where you are on the move all the time. I don't know what it's going to be like without the kids. Then again, I'm married to the hardest working tourist. That is how my Brother-in-law described Brent. And that would be a perfect description.
I do recognize that I need to re-double my efforts with food. And that will be my top priority when I get back from Vacation. I need to remember the guidance I've received from my loving Heavenly Father. The word of wisdom is how I am going to continue to heal my body from the inside out. how I am going to live a long healthy life. I read an article in the Ensign today and a sentence stuck out to, it actually screamed to my soul: Obtaining anything of great worth often requires great sacrifice. My health is of great worth to me. Am I sacrificing enough to get where I need to be? There is more I can and must do to make this a permanent change in my life! And more now, then ever I am ready to make that sacrifice.
Life is so good. I still face challenges, but they are easier to face now that I have a positive attitude about being me, about being a mother and a wife.
