Vacation day 3

Today we went to the hoover dam and took a tour. Do not get me started on security for entering. Put it this way they wouldn't let us bring in food. While were there.waiting to get through the picky security mackenzie decided that out was time to pee through her diaper. So I went and used the hand dryer to dry her pants the best I could. The tour was pretty interesting but it'll be a lot better when the kids get older. On the way back to the resort the girls fell asleep and we saw a lamborghini driving down the highway. (below is a picture). We relaxed for a bit, ate dinner than took a walk to the Belagio hotel to watch the water show than to the Mirage to watch the volcano.

Vacation day 2

Today we went to the old mormon fort and took a mini tour. It was pretty interesting.
We than went to lunch thend went back to the condo to relax and swim. Here is a picture of the soda machine at 5 guys that most restaurants are starting to get.

Vacation day 1

The girls slept later than usual. The car trip up must've been tiring. We took a short walk along the strip. went to excalibur to take the kids to the kid zone. Wer also relaxed in the swimming pool.

This Lifestyle Change

Well the last week or 2 I haven't really lost anything and I think I finally figured out why. I'm not eating enough calories to meet my goal. I joined MY Fitness Pal and realized today that I was under 805 calories. I'm like holy cow no wonder I'm feeling hungry, because if you eat less than 1200 calories you're basically starving your body. I'm definitely eating better tomorrow (not that what i was eating was bad). I'm still getting in my exercising which makes me feel better after I do it.

Makes me happy

As I was headed into church yesterday, I ran into a friend from the ward I had just left. She was teasing me and said that we didn't want 8 am church anymore, then she said that I was looking good. It makes me feel so good knowing that people are noticing my weight loss and it helps me continue. Encouragement is very helpful to me and helps me know that I can do it.

So Far

Well i guess i'll post my success so far. I took this about a week and a half ago but i'm about the same still. But i can tell a difference in my clothes at least :)

I still have about 80 more pounds to lose to get to my goal weight but it is at least a start.

Determined

I'm very determined to get to my ideal weight of 120 lbs. I'm working so very hard on this and I'm not going to let things stop me. I've lost 13 lbs and very excited about that. I'm already seeing the difference in my pants which is adding to the excitement. I've changed my eating habits which and have started an at home exercise video (which I believe I've already said). Kaylee makes sure I do the exercises everyday and she and Mackenzie even join in. Mackenzie usually ends up sitting on me during push-ups and crunches but it gives me more resistance. I'm thinking about posting before and after pictures. But the before picture is before I had cut my hair and before I was this determined. But lets see what happens.
