My reward trip! with pics :)
I just got back from my trip that I had planned for my reward to myself to meet my goal weight - I've always wanted to go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal but couldn't fit on the rides before. For me this was a once in a lifetime trip and it was amazing! My BFF and her husband met my DH and I there and we had an amazing time.
I literally teared up when I fit on the rides. I've been asked to get off roller coasters in the past due to not fitting because of my weight. And I'm a huge HP fan. I can't tell you how awesome this was for me! We headed to the beach afterwards and it was amazing. We also did Halloween Horror Nights - so much walking the last 5 days, holy crap, I couldn't have done ANY of this 19 months ago.
