Back from vacation!!!!
Well actually
We loved our trip! New Zealand was beautiful and fun but the weather really sucked.
Melbourne, Australia was wonderful....got very lucky with the weather there for the entire week!
I only lost 2 lbs in the 2 weeks but I have no idea how much I ate and I know I didn't drink nearly enough water BUT I walked all over Melbourne's downtown hills the 2nd week. I spent several days the first week recovering from a Cave Tubing excursion --every muscle in my body ached but I still got around!
We are looking into relocating to Melbourne after I complete school next summer. Keep your fingers crossed!
This week I started Clinical Rotations at the hospitals around Pittsburgh. I start at the Children's Hospital for 2 weeks on Monday. I think the walking around has helped my weight loss this week.
Scale has moved every day and I am PMSing.
I better be in PMS let's put it that way But vacation was FUN!
I am down 83 lbs as of this morning. Sitting at 166. Looking for approx 140 (I think). Wearing 16 Petites cause I am all hips and thighs so SHORT and WIDE. Got lots of compliments last night on how good I looked though!!!! So even though the size is higher than I would like...I think I look pretty good in the mirror! EVEN if I stopped now I would be pleased.
BUT I am not ready to stop!!!!!
My BMI is 28.95 so I am just OVERWEIGHT!!! YEAH for me!!!!
We haven't downloaded any of the pictures from our trip yet...but as soon as I do I will get my stuff updated! (of course we know that takes a while...but well worth it!)
I should get going....need to shower/get ready for the hospital.
Hope everyone has had a good 2 weeks.
Shannon,
I bet you had such a fabulous time on your vacation!! Isn't it nice to come home from vacation, get on the scale and see that you didn't gain almost 10 pounds? I used to gain every vacation...hopefully not anymore b/c I am very active now!
Congratulations on just being overweight!! You are doing so great!! I understand you on the hips and thighs thing...sometimes I have to buy a size bigger b/c of it and then the waist is huge and I have to cinch it with a belt....lol!
You are doing great!
