Weight Loss Wednesday

Weight Loss Wednesday: April 11, 2018

Greetings from Israel, where it is freezing cold and I don’t have anything warm with me! 🙂  We’ve stayed in multiple places since we arrived and I’m thrilled to tell you that the cabin we’re staying in currently has a scale.  I’m not sure how accurate it is, but it has me in the 220s, so I’m going to take it.

This trip has been absolutely amazing so far.  The flight to get here was ridiculously long, but all the kids were troopers.  Fred and I flew from Phoenix to Newark with the twins and we met Amina and Khrystyna in Newark.  We all flew from there to Tel Aviv.

The kids in Joffa

When we got to Tel Aviv, our friend Laurie (along with our tour guide Sonia and our bus driver Boaz) picked us up at the airport and we went to Joffa for a few hours while we waited for the rest of the family to arrive.  The picture above is the kiddos in Joffa.  After Joffa, we headed back to the airport to pick up the rest of the family, met up with some friends in Israel, and then had a late dinner at our hotel.

Our trip has been really fun so far, but we haven’t done a ton of walking. I’ve heard that as the trip progresses, there will be days that we walk a lot of miles. I’m hoping that’s the case as that could really help me shed some pounds. Here’s a random photo of me riding a donkey yesterday!

Ok…so I’m sure you didn’t come just to see photos of me in Israel (although maybe you did).  This week’s weight loss brought me down into the 220s.  I lost 2.1 pounds to weigh in at 228.8!

Last Week’s Weight:  230.9
Today’s Weight:  228.8
Weight Lost This Week:  2.1 
Total Weight Loss:  38.9

Also, I got a new Stitch Fix box right before I left.  It’s so fun to get new stuff.  Here’s one of the outfits from the box.  It’s totally wrinkled but quite cute.  It’s a pair of boyfriend jeans, a crepey blouse, and a fabulous pair of druzy earrings!  I didn’t have time to get any really great pictures, so there won’t be a post on this particular Stitch Fix box.  Sorry…I know how much you all like chiming in on what I should keep and what should go back!

That’s it for this week!  Hopefully I’ll be able to post again next Wednesday!

Weight Loss Wednesday: April 4, 2018

Happy April! I hope you had a fabulous Easter. Since we’ve been in real estate class so much, we decided to do a special fun “birthday weekend” away for the twins. We went to the Pointe Hilton at Squaw Peak for the weekend. It was a really fun weekend. We relaxed in the lazy river, played in the pool, hung out as a family, ate out at a variety of restaurants, went to church Saturday night, and just enjoyed our time together. It was relaxing and it was fun! It was nice to be able to just chill without having a million things on our plate. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that we ate quite a bit of Easter candy. 🙂

 I’m sure the eating out and Easter candy did not help with my weight loss. I made decent choices when we went out to dinner, but I probably ate more than what I needed to.  We went to a yummy Mexican restaurant Friday night and the amount of sour cream and guac I had on my fajitas was slightly obnoxious…and totally delicious!

I was really hoping to see the 220s this week, but it didn’t quite happen.  Oh well, there’s always next week. At least the scale is still heading in the right direction.

Last Week’s Weight:  231.8
Today’s Weight: 230.9
Weight Lost This Week:  .9
Total Weight Loss: 36.8

The rest of this week is shaping  up to be crazy.  We have 2 more days of real estate classes.  I also volunteered to drive for Shayna’s Sedona field trip on Friday and we have to leave the school at 6 am.  We have a bunch of stuff going on on Saturday and then on Sunday, we leave for Israel.  I’m not sure if I’ll be able to post while I’m there.  I’m not sure if I’ll have a scale and I’m not sure what the internet situation will be like, but if I can weigh myself, I’ll post! 🙂

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Today is James’ and Shayna’s birthday and they’re now 12.  We celebrated last night with pizookie at BJs.  If you’ve never had their Pizookie, you’re missing out.  It’s a delicious cookie that’s baked in a skillet and topped with ice cream.  They have some seriously amazing flavors…like Salted Caramel!  YUMMMMM!  Anyway, we usually let the kids choose where they want to go out for their birthday.  We have some things on our agenda tonight, so we opted for going out last night instead.  The kids wanted to eat at Olive Garden for dinner and BJs for dessert.  I ate more breadsticks than I wanted to and was sure that with the addition of the pizookie, I’d have a gain today.  I was pleasantly surprised to step on the scale this morning and have a loss…and it wasn’t a small loss either!

 I lost 2.6 pounds last week!!!  That’s pretty darn exciting.

I’ve also been eating more junk the last few days than what I normally eat.  My husband has decided to go back into selling real estate.  We both sold real estate in the past, but since he was taking the classes, I thought I’d join him. The classes are from 8-5:30 every day.  We have to leave early in the morning to get the twins dropped off at Before Care at school and it’s nearly 6 by the time we pick them up at night.  And the classes are long and somewhat tedious.  Some teachers are WAY better than others and make things interesting.  Some teachers bore you to tears.  It’s during those sessions that I find myself munching on junk to stay awake.  I really need to figure out how to manage this since I’ve got another week and a half of classes in front of me.

Last Week’s Weight:  234.4
Today’s Weight:  231.8
Weight Lost This Week:  2.6
Total Weight Loss: 35.9

Here’s hoping that I can keep my eating under control this next week and post another loss!

Weight Loss Wednesday: March 21, 2018

We’re back from Jamaica. We had an amazing trip!  We swam with the dolphins, took a boat through and swam in the “Glistening Waters”, went ziplining, and even did a ropes course.

 I failed partway through the ropes course and the poor guy had to come and save my life.  If there ever was a person who was thankful that I’ve lost weight, it was probably this guy since he had to literally lift all of my body weight to get me untangled from the ropes I got myself tangled in.  By the time we were almost done, my arms felt like spaghetti and I couldn’t hold myself up anymore which is how I ended up tangled in the ropes.  I really need to work on upper body strength.

The nice guy taking the picture is the same guy who rescued me. He’s seriously a gem!

Ziplining was one of the highlights of the trip for me.  I’d been nervous about ziplining on our other trips to Jamaica because I was afraid I’d be over the weight limit.  How horribly embarrassing would that be?!?  Anyway, I felt pretty good about myself and decided to just do it.  It was sooo fun and it was awesome making memories with my hubby and the twins.

While I kept my portions small while we were in Jamaica, I ate a lot of junkier stuff than I usually do.  The twins wanted to celebrate their birthday with my parents, so I made them an ice cream cake!  It was absolutely delicious and I ate more than my fair share.

Last Week’s Weight:  236.0
Today’s Weight: 234.4 
Weight Lost This Week:  1.6
Total Weight Loss:  31.7

I’m thrilled to say that I still lost weight.  I can’t believe I’ve lost more than 30 pounds. My mom also shared a really cool designer with me and I was thrilled to find that his clothes fit well.

Isn’t this the cutest?

If you’re looking for fabulous stuff, his name is Courtney Washington.  I’m loving the color and the awesome fabric.  I think this will look even more fabulous when I lose more weight!!!

Weight Loss Wednesday:  March 14, 2018

I’m writing this week’s Weight Loss Wednesday post in warm sunny Montego Bay, Jamaica! We’re super excited to be hanging out with my family this week for spring break. The weather is fabulous, the food has been amazing and we’re having a great time!

 I’m always unsure what my weigh-ins are going to look like when I’m on vacation.  I have no idea how close the scale I’ll weigh on will be to my scale at home.  Plus you add in the craziness of vacation and travel food, and you just don’t know what you’re going to get.  After last week’s lower loss, I was hoping for a big loss this week…and I got it, but now I’m not sure if I got it because I actually lost weight or because the scale is different from mine. Oh the uncertainty! 🙂

Last Week’s Weight: 239.6
Today’s Weight:  236.0
Weight Lost This Week:  3.6
Total Weight Loss:  31.7

I’m over the moon that I’ve cross the 30 pound mark!  And I’m down over 40 pounds from my highest weight.  It kinda makes me feel like a rockstar!!!

I wore a really cute outfit when I was traveling the other day.  I felt like it really showed off the differences in my body. Isn’t this seriously cute!?!

The jeggings and duster are from my sister’s Agnes & Dora shop.  You should join her group and check out all the cuteness!  Tell her I sent you! 🙂

A few random thoughts about my weight loss so far…

  • I fit into an airplane seat so much better
  • The seatbelt fit and I even had extra space
  • I’m so much more comfortable doing everyday stuff

We went to a bioluminescent bay the other night with the kids.  It’s one of my favorite things to do in Jamaica, but this was the first time the kids have gone.  It was really fun and I felt like I enjoyed it so much more this time around because I’m in better shape!
