Yay, I did it!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because of my daughter's birthday party back in April and some financial worries that caused me to go off budget for our new diet, I gained back much of what I had lost. So I'm excited to say that this week, I lost another 6.25 inches!!

It's scary to think that after all those weeks of hard work and watching what I ate was ruined in ONLY 2 WEEKS. It's been so hard to get it back off, but now that it is, I plan on keeping it that way.

I'm getting to go down to California this summer, the last week of August it looks like. I have to double check on when school starts back up before finalizing everything with Bill's family that live down there. I'm getting to take the girls down to see Bill's dad and his dad's mom. It's been almost 2 years since they've seen Audrey and I'm sure they are really excited to meet baby Hayley. I'm worried that with being on the 'road' so to speak (we're taking good ol' Amtrak) that my eating habits will be messed up again. I hope not. Even though I fell off the wagon I don't want to pack back on those inches EVER again.......ever.

I'm excited for the trip. It looks like it's going to be set in stone over the next few days, then I can start to plan accordingly. I doubt I'll be bathing suit ready in time, but maybe at least short shorts ready. (I better get some sun on my pastey, dead looking legs then!) Audrey doesn't know about the trip yet, she only knows of it being a possiblility for in the spring, so I think it will be a nice surprise for her. And of course Hayley has no idea what's going on, but I'm sure she will love the train.

Well, wish me luck to continue to loose those 'icky-inches' and I will keep all my Cali-friends informed so we can possibly meet up while I'm down south.
