Ok, I think it's a fact that if one of us isn't blogging very much then we probably aren't working too hard on our goal. Right? Someone else once said that too. I think I was deflated after coming back from the cruise where I exercised each day and did fairly well with my food intake, but yet had gained some weight. Then I was in Utah for 5 days. Then I was out of town visiting family for a few days. Not to mention my goal is 130-135 lbs so when I hit 135.5 and was back into my pre-prego size it made me lazy. All of that threw me off course.
So, as I'm sitting her eating a bag of colored marshmallows that my 2 yr olds decided to take off the shelf at the grocery store tonight, I figured I better catch up on everyone's blogs and decide if I'm going to recommit to finishing my journey in our last month.
The main thing that bothers me is that I feel like I'm back to my old snacking habits. The kind that seem uncontrolable, like the marshmallows right now, and candy and desserts, etc. I don't want my old habits back!
So, ok, starting tomorrow....wait, starting now (she says as she closes the marshmallow bag), I'm back on the wagon. I'm not traveling hardly at all in May so I can commit to good eating and regular exercise. I'm so close to my goal, I have to finish this contest!!

Vacation Fun
I'm back from vacation. The cruise was awesome. We spent a couple of days in Mexico also. And a day in New Orleans. My husband and I had a great time. Ok, I have to let you know that I exercised everyday, except one day! Let me say that again. Every day, except one!! Now that was dedication! The water was really rough and the cruise ship was constantly rocking so it made it quite a challenge to obey Bob & Jillian's rule of not holding on while walking or running on the treadmill...especially when the treadmill also was at the very front of the boat and all you could see was water while exercising.
Anyway, I thought I was semi-disciplined in my eating. Most breakfasts were small. Most lunches were soup & sandwich. Dinners were "fancy" so the amount of food is always small. But I probably overdid it on the drinks & desserts. So, can you believe I gained 3.5 pounds since my weigh in before the cruise. Dang! Ironically I've lost exactly 3.5 pounds each of the 3 months of our competition. I can't believe I gained a whole month's worth of loss in one week...especially when I worked out each day! DANG!!! Guess I'm not to my goal now and it's back to work to get back to it!
Ok, so, these pictures were taken for you guys, and you guys only!! These pictures did not, and will not make it on any of my other blogs or for any one else to see. But I told hubby that I had to get a couple of pics for you guys so you could see that I dared to wear a bikini. I was comfortable in it too! I have to catch up on all your blogs now!

Bon Voyage
Well, I'm off to my all you can eat food frenzy, aka, a cruise in the Caribbean. The funny thing is that the one thing I'm looking forward to is working out on the ship! I guess that means exercising has become a habit and part of my normal lifestyle. I intend to splurge here and there on food, but I'm getting used to making good food choices too.
Most of my pre-pregnancy clothes all fit me again, 1 to 2 sizes smaller. It's almost like I suddenly realized that I actually lost my weight and have almost hit my goal. I guess we see ourselves everyday in the mirror maybe we don't realize quite how much our bodies really have changed. So I'm excited about the bikinis, clothes & little dresses that I'm bringing on the trip.
It's such a good feeling to be in control of eating and taking care of my body by eating healthy and exercising. And to realize the results and achieve the goals you set out for....it's an amazing feeling.
I just feel good. Ok, so maybe anyone would feel good the day they are leaving for a cruise. LOL. But really, I feel good about myself for the first time in awhile...both inside and outside. My goal was to weigh between 130-135 and I've been down to 135.5 the past few days.
