Keep on Moving!!

The scales are finally moving. I weighed this morning and they have finally dropped to 212lbs!! whoohooo I took some great advice from Mindy and started drinking a protein shake in the morning since I can't seem to eat that early. Seems to be okay drinking. I set a goal to lose 10lbs this month so I'm hoping that I will be able to achieve it. Fingers crossed!!

We have a new gym in town and my membership at another expires in a month. (Paid the year in full so I can't get out of it a month early) I went to the new one with my best friend and LOVED it! It's just like going to an upscale gym with a spa! What girl doesn't want to hang out at a spa?? Besides... I'm totally addicted to the treadmill right now. I really want to run a marathon or half and and going to make that a long term goal.

We are headed out of town this weekend with my best friend and her husband to Dallas. I got 4 awesome seats to the Dallas Mavericks and they are right behind the guys bench. (like 4 rows behind) and also a platinum parking pass... Gotta love the job b/c of all the perks!! I'm hoping that I won't give into the junk food @ the game or the margaritas before. I LOVE a cold beer so since surgery it's been so hard not having one. (b/c of the carbonation) and I'm so not a wine drinker!

Once again, as soon as I can get a decent pic, I will post some! Here's one of my hubby and me and Jenn and me a couple of weekends ago!

Wow! I can definatly see weight loss in your face from the picture in this post to the one on top of your blog. Fantastic!!!!

I too am going to stick with protein shakes throughout this journey. Not sure if my band will be tight or not, but I think it gives you a great start to the day.

Lori, you are a beautiful girl and I am happy the scale is moving for you. 10 pounds in one month is WOW. My goal this month is 6. Have fun at the game.
