Keeping busy.
I’ve been keeping busy here. We leave in a week for Atlanta! I’m SO excited! I get to see Jess, Greg’s sister Tina and her family and my brother David and his family.
It’s going to be great to see Tina and the whole family, been 5 years since we’ve seen her and her oldest daughter and we’ve never met her youngest daughter. She was pregnant with her the year Jess graduated high school, 2003. I don’t think her hubby came up to see the high school graduation, I cannot remember, but I think it was just her and her daughter. So it’s been longer since we’ve seen him!
We haven’t seen my brother and his family in years. I have, when I went down to Florida a few years ago, but, Greg hasn’t, so that will be good.
We haven’t seen Jess since mid-June and that was just for breakfast when she was in Northern Virginia for a wedding. We get to see her new apt. and meet her roomie and finally see all the places that she’s been talking about visiting but has been holding off until we get down there.
I have no idea what to pack. I haven’t even had a chance to think about it until today and we leave next Wednesday through Sunday night. I have to get a bathing suit this week and I plan on packing workout clothes as there’s a gym in our hotel. I don’t know what’s in it, but, I’m prepared to do whatever they have there! Read more
Week 3
All the hard work at the gym and eating right is showing, finally! I’m down 3.6 pounds lost since 7/28.
I’m so excited! I’m short, 4′ 10″ so all the weight shows on me. Everything shows.
I took out my tape measure yesterday morning and I’ve lost 2″ from my waist and from my abs. WOW! No wonder those pants were too big!
I went to the gym all of last week and I have plans to do that again this week. I cannot next week as we’ll be traveling on Wednesday, but, I the hotel we’re staying at has a gym in it, for Thursday and Friday and probably Saturday.
I bought some JC food yesterday, but, with the blessing of my counselor, I’m now eating multi-grain Cheerios some mornings this week. I also bought the Nabisco packs for snacks (100 calorie) from the store, that cut down a lot of the money I spent @ JC for food, almost half!
I started running again, in 10-15 minute runs. I don’t have to run, but some days I actually want to, weird! *LOL*
