As most of you know, I made it through the Thanksgiving weekend Florida trip in great shape. I actually lost a pound while on vacation. I went for a walk every morning that we were there and it was so nice that I was able to wear shorts and a tank top. I did the grocery shopping the first day we were there and made all of the right choices. My sister-in-law had also left some wonderful egg beater quiches for us in the freezer. As for Thanksgiving, I didn't eat any of the starches that usually accompany the traditional Thanksgiving meal. I did have one tiny spoonful of the sweet potatoes that my mom had made though. It really wasn't that hard! My wonderful sister-in-law made some South Beach deviled eggs for an appetizer and pumpkin mousse for dessert so that I wouldn't be tempted by the original pumpkin pie. Also, NO ALCOHOL THE WHOLE WEEKEND!
As of today, I have lost 23 pounds! 2 pounds left to my goal of 25 before Christmas. This time will include another trip to Florida and I found a fitness place near my mom's condo that offers drop-in classes, so I will probably go to some of those this trip too. As for the exercise, I am planning to take it up a notch this week. I have taped a Zumba class on TV and I am going to see if that is a good fit for me before I actually attend a class. I am also going to attempt "Hot Yoga" this week. I also need to use the weight machines at school this week as I am starting to see flab. WOW, this sounds tiring, maybe only one of those this week. I need to set reasonably achievable goals for myself.
I need to go see my Dr. this week for another issue and I am actually excited to go in. I hope he will be happy with my progress. Once again, thank you to all of my family and friends who have been supporting me through this process and life change. I can never tell you in words how grateful I have to have all of you in my life! Also, to date my mom has lost 13 pounds and Jim, well he didn't do too bad having spent the last 2 weeks in Florida. I won't throw him under the bus at this point.
