Ben and Josh had to get ready and leave this past Monday on a week long Canoeing trip, Claudia was set up to start daycare this past week to hopefully curb her wanting to go out on her own to find new friends, and I helped my sister Tami go pick-up my niece. It took a lot of time away from me looking after me but I did the best I could. Even on our long trip we stopped at the Enchanted Forest and walked to forest and the nature hike. My favorite though was rowing the boat out on the lake with the water lilies. I also had to finish up Claudia's Book I started for her birthday but it seemed to take forever because of my limited time. But that is done and on it's way here now. Check it out.
I really love that I can complete projects with Heritage Makers and if your interested in doing your own just click on over to HERE
But that is not why I am posting today... I am doing my accountability to let everyone know how my weight loss journey is going.
When I last posted I was 304lbs.... well 2 weeks later and TONS of havoc I now weigh 295.8lbs!!!! That is right I am out of the 300 club and well on my way to a healthier me :D that means my weight loss for those past 2 weeks totals 8.2lbs and my total loss is 29.8lbs! I have never been able to get this far before! I was worried that the long road trip that started out with healthy food options and ended up with a TON of sugar junk was going to set me back. But the extras like the nature hike, I think are the reason I didn't gain. I do think I will plan better for the next trip though. We are headed out on our first family vacation in 3 years! On Sunday we are heading down to Vancouver for a week. The main reason is for Mike to take care of somethings at the US Embassy there, but the best reason is to visit all the family and friends we have and miss down there. Oh and a drive up to and camp a night in Squamish. Oh how I miss the lakes and mountains there. We will end the trip with going to the opening night of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in the IMax 3D.
For now though I am going to celebrate my weight loss with some frozen yogurt treats and taking the kids to the park so we can run :D
As for this Post, lets end it with a couple of pictures from the Enchanted Forest... Such an amazing place if you ever get the chance to go.
