I FINALLY did it!!!

[lvs_eeyore]

I stepped on the scale tonight and I am down a total of 20.5 pounds!!!!!!! I am so excited I am bouncing. We are leaving for the World tomorrow and I know this will give me all the more incentive to stay on program and exercise while I am there. Will have to do a little more excercise on Saturday since we are going to Ohana for dinner...I know I know bad bad but I love the place and its a tradition. If I say within program the rest of the time and get some exercise that dinner shouldnt hurt me at all. Im just sooooooo excited. I cant wait to put on my new clippie!!

That's AWESOME! I love your new clippie!!!!

Enjoy your trip, and your stay at the Polynesian. Concierge is wonderful!

You know what? I stayed Polynesian Concierge for a week in March. Ate at Ohana, Kona, Le Cellier... Dole Whips... nightly little desserts and cordials in the lounge... those sinful afternoon cookies...and I LOST A LITTLE WEIGHT.

You want to know what I think happened? Breakfast in the Concierge lounge each morning- I had Cheerios (a different brand name, though) with skim milk and a piece of fruit or yogurt for breakfast each day. Just enough to get me going, not a huge pig-out restaurant size meal. That saves lots of points for playing! Then I would grab a bottle of water to drink on the way to the parks. At lunch and dinner, I ate what I wanted, but stopped when I was full.

That coupled with all the walking you do, and I think you'll find you can enjoy your vacation, eat where and what you like, and not regret it when you come home!

Have a GREAT trip!!!!

Kathy this isnt our conceige trip but thank you so much for all the helpful tips for that trip. I will have to be VERY careful that week because by that time my wedding gown for our vow renewal will be altered and I wont be able to afford to gain any weight.

This trip is just a weekend trip to have fun and tie up some loose ends with the vow renewal. I still cant believe there is only 42 days until that trip. Yikes its coming up fast!! Still so much to do to get ready for it LOL.

 

[KathyTX]

LOL, sorry, Karen! Wait- no, I'm not sorry at all! You get to go twice in 6 weeks- WOO-HOO!!!!!

I saw the photo of your dress. Elegant, simple, and absolutely gorgeous. You will look like a princess in it.

I guess you can't do too much damage on a weekend trip! Enjoy Ohana, soak up the atmosphere, and have a great time finalizing the plans for your beautiful celebration!

Karen that is wonderful news!! Congratulations!! Way to go on a huge accomplishment!!

WOW!! How exciting- and the 20 looks SOOO very good on you- and I agree with Kathy- I think you'll surprise yourself on your trip. I've found I really do feel that "I'm full now, just better stop" more now that I've been losing weight as opposed to the "better finish my plate so I can have a whole dessert" voice! Enjoy yourself and have a wonderful trip- you deserve it!!!
