Happy Anniversary to me!

Today is my 5yr wedding anniversary. My husband and i met 12 yrs ago and married 5yrs ago. He's the best thing that ever happened to me. We're leaving to go on a cruise in a few hours!  :) I'm going to enjoy this cruise 80lbs lighter than i was last time i went on a cruise. New bathing suit, new confidence, just me and him. We haven't taken a trip alone since our honeymoon. And I hope to rekindle some of that spark.

Today is weigh in day. I had a goal to be 175lbs by this trip. I'm 4lbs off from that goal. I also only  lost .5lbs from last week. but thats ok because i KNOW i've been building muscle. been pushing myself in the gym and i'm feeling a difference. my thighs are feeling tighter and muscular and my arms too. its awesome. 

i do have to say. your brain adjusts to the weight loss so fast that you get impatient. instead of saying wow i've lost 80lbs you think ok i have 20 more till i hit 100. why did i only lose 1/2 a lb this week? why doesn't my face look skinnier than last week? i'm more judgmental of my appearance now than i ever was. 

can't wait till i get to my goal (which i'm hoping will be by the one year mark in august) so i can have plastics (i'm hoping by oct/nov) so i  can start trying for a baby in jan!!! i can't wait!! this is what keeps me going during my workouts.

but for now i'm gonna sit back, get a nice tan, enjoy my husband, relax and live in the moment on this cruise.

have a nice weekend!
