Got back from our 5 day trip to San Diego on Thursday.  It is about an 8 hr drive.  The drive down was fine and Legoland, Sea World and the Wild Animal Park were great.  No naps and no meltdowns.  Best of all I came back having lost another 4 lbs.  Whew!  
I signed up for a mini challenge and only have 2 more lbs to lose by Friday.  I really think I can do it.  
Next goal will be bra shopping for my dresses for the reunion.  Need to get them girls wrangled a bit.

My husband and I both have our 20yr HS reunion this summer.  I was about a size 10 through HS so I have definetly changed throughout the years.  I have 5 weeks before the first one and I am feeling pretty good about where I will be by then.  My first goal was to get below 200 which I just did at my 3month mark.  So now my goal is 185 by the first reunion and maybe 180 (two weeks later) by the second.  I may even be lower, but I would rather foucs on healthy goals not speed to the finish line.  I will already be happy as I haven't seen those numbers for 15 years.  
I was so uncomfortable at my 10yr.  I was about 220 and took a boyfriend that although I ended up marrying him (my first husband) I think I deep down knew we shouldn't be together.
We leave for a week in San Diego on the 22nd and I am really looking forward to it!

I was weighing the same for the last week and just chalked it up to "there will be times that this happens, be patient."  But I was getting pretty aggravated.  So I get on the scale this morning and I've lost another 4 lbs.  I am really thinking I need a new scale!

I'm offically one month out and feeling pretty well.  I went back to work on the 23rd and have been fortunate enough to be able to continue taking naps everyday.  I work out of a home type office so I just head in the back with my blankie and doze off for my lunch hour.

The most noticeable weight loss has been in my feet, wrist and ring finger.  I have always purchased stretch type jeans and have a very flat butt so I haven't really NEEDED to buy any new pants.  Although I am going to Vegas May 2-3 and am really trying to wait until then to buy any new clothes.

My biggest challenge has been staying away from all of the Easter sweets, I so desparately hoped that I would be one of those that acquired an aversion to sweets, no luck.  Maybe I would if I indulged a coupla times and had the dreaded dumping syndrome.  

Oh well things are bright and sunny here today, I love having a big picture window right accross from my desk!
