Girl-cation 2010!

I spend last weekend in Austin with some of the BEST girls ever!

Tina, Anna (& Levi), Heather, Me, & Amy

We all got a MUCH needed relaxing mini-vacation and what made it even better is that we got to do the things we LOVE! We went swimming, spent a morning at the Zoo, played pranks on people, and we ate A LOT! :)

I wonder where we will go next?!?!?

Happy 3 Year Anniversary Babe!

I Love You!

We are in it for Better or Worse

**notice I got 2 guns ;)

Little by Little . . .

. . . inch by inch

It feels like it is taking forever while I am in the moment of eating a Garden Burger, or Oatmeal, or meal replacement bar while everyone around me is eating Mac n Cheese, Pizza, Garlic Bread and on and on I can go but looking back it has gone by fast! Don't get me wrong I have had my moments of splurging but then I feel guilty and have to work out even longer that day :)

Since working out I have been able to do more like . . . . DRUM ROLL PLEASE . . . . . I jogged a WHOLE MILE last week and along with jogging I can also do a REAL sit-up now!

I'm not done yet, the competition at the gym end this coming Monday (the 17th) but I am actually starting to enjoy working out. :) This week while working out my awesome sister-in-law (who is in the competition with me) saw that her and I were both tied for 3rd place! It felt good to think I was doing well enough to make it on the board!

So here is where I'm at so far . . .

March 13th - 191 lbs. :(

March 22nd - 188lbs.

March 29th - 187lbs

April 5th - 183lbs

April 12th - 183lbs . . . I lost Nothing the whole dang week . . . ugh!

April 19th - 178lbs

April 26th - 177lbs

May 3rd - 176lbs

May 10th - 174lbs!!!!! - YAHOOOOO

I am so glad that I made this commitment though. It is so worth it!

The Common Factor!

Can anyone tell me what (or whom) is the common factor in each of these pictures . . .

Yep, you guessed it. Baxlyn in her pretty yellow dress!

I think she is going to be the ring leader!

Great Weekend!

I wasn't expecting to loose a lot this week because that is my pattern. I don't know why but it seems to work out that way. I loose 1lbs then I loose 3 or more.
So this week should be a good one!
I am only 12lbs away from my goal!

I also had an awesome week with my some of my friends from college!

Me, Bailey and Mandie!

I love these girls! We went out to dinner Friday night when they got here and stayed up and talked until 1 in the morning! The next day we headed out for some yummy Starbucks and Pedicures!

After we did some shopping we decieded while they were here we should get tattoos, so that's what we did! ;)

Mandie and I at the Tattoo Shop

Mandie and Myself getting our new tattoos!

Mandie got "LOVE HEALS" on her wrist and I got the Texas on my wrist!

We had so much fun catching up and hanging out! I love and miss these girl so much!

How low can you go?

March 13th - 191 lbs. :(
March 22nd - 188lbs.

March 29th - 187lbs
April 5th - 183lbs

April 12th - 183lbs . . . I lost Nothing the whole dang week . . . ugh!

April 19th - 178lbs - I can not remember the last

time my weight was below 180 . . . Whoop Whoop!!

They also took all our measurement again last night. I was not expecting that much i just figured a few centimeters here and there . . . I did better than I thought!

All the #'s are rounded off because I could not remember all the .5's, 3/4th's and all that other good stuff! :)

So how am I doing this . . .

Breakfast- most of time I eat a 1 1/2 cups of low calorie cereal with about 4oz of skim milk. Lunch - High Fiber Oatmeal with sugar free pudding or apple sauce Dinner - I honestly eat whatever is around I just read all the details about it and eat half of what I would usually eat! Snack - Fiber Plus bar and Fruit Drinks - I have a glass of V8 Fusion because I am not a fan of veggies and I drink LOTS of water with an occasional Diet Coke!

On average I workout about 4 times a week for about 1 1/2 hrs each time and combine cardio and weights! As long as this keeps workin' I'm going to stick with it!

Yesterday was a great Monday!

"Get on the Ball"

Well, last week I didnt get anywhere (weight wise) :( I stayed exactly the same . . . needless to say I'm working a little harder this week!

I just wanted to drop a quick line to say,

"HaPpY BiRtHdAy HeAtHeR!!! You are getting OLD ;)"

Heather, Me and Amy!

Here's a little joke to make you smile!

Once there was a golfer whose drive landed on an anthill. Rather than move
the ball, he decided to hit it where it lay. He gave a mighty swing. Clouds of dirt and
sand and ants exploded from the spot. Everything but the golf ball. It sat in the same
spot.
So he lined up and tried another shot. Clouds of dirt and sand and ants went flying
again. The golf ball didn't even wiggle. Two ants survived.

One dazed ant said to the other,

HaPpY FiRdAy!!
