Measurements

Last Saturday my trainer was back from her European vacation and called me up and said come visit me. I went in and got measured and weighed. I have only lost 5 pounds and 4 percent body fat. It was disappointing, I ain't even gunna lie; however, I kept saying to myself, it's okay because this is a lifestyle change, not big fat loser. I wanted to know if there was something I could take to help boost my metabolism or some suggestions about my workouts. I bought some different vitamin complexes, and starting today, going to up my cardio workout 15 minutes -- now being an hour and 15 minutes. I'm going to try my way for another 7 weeks and if something hasn't happened in that time, I will have to hire her as I don't know what else to do. So for right now, there is no picture. You will have to wait at least until I reach 20 pounds lost, not just a measly 5.

Delay

So I know ya'll have been patiently waiting for the past 6-weeks reveal pictures, but I've lost my original picture when my computer crashed, which I thought was on my other computer, but I can't find it and I haven't had someone take a "today" picture. I haven't quite trained BoBo to focus in on me and press the button yet. So for right now I'm not going to post a picture. I'm not sure how much I've lost yet because the one trainer has been on vacation and I don't want to know until she comes back. So please hold......and after you're done holding, please hold some more......

Weigh-In Saturday

Well, Saturday I will weigh in at the gym to see how much weight I've lost so far. I will have been going for 5 weeks. I'm very excited to see the scale. I think I can see it in my face, but my clothes aren't fitting me really any different yet. I am going to post my before picture along with a 5-week picture and then every month after that. So be prepared, these pictures actually might be PG-13 rated because they are so horrific!

Mom & Me = Fun

Mom was able to come over for the 4th of July and hang out. We shopped at the mall with Jody on Monday, went to the bookstore and sports store, came home, had a barbecue with the Fair family having burgers, slaw, grapes, chocolate dipped strawberries, chips and topping it off with root beer floats. It was so fun. After Jody and the family left, mom and I settled down to watch the fireworks on TV. We were so tired that we just decided to watch them on TV. We started out watching the DC fireworks, the New York City fireworks and then ended with the Boston fireworks. We decided that we wanted to see the New York City fireworks show before we die. IT WAS HONESTLY THE BEST SHOW!! Then yesterday we shopped at a consignment clothing store and got some of the best bargains ever! Went to a quilting shop, stopped and got an ice cream cone at "Tasty Treats" (Fancy Freeze), came home to watch Casey Anthony's NOT GUILTY VERDICT (we won't discuss that), had a little nap, and then went to a movie. I mean, it was the best two days with mom ever. We had such a fun time! Thanks, Mom, for enjoying the 4th of July festivities with me!
