PRU ~ Weeks 17-19

WEEK 19
June 7-12th
This has been one of the best weeks of this journey thus far. I got some much needed R&R as my hubby and I were in sunny Cabo San Lucas, Mexico!!! OMG!!! We had an absolute blast! There is something about tropical weather, the ocean, sun and being waited on that just does something for my spirits!!!

I am proud to say that I worked out three of five days while I was on vacation! The only reason we didn’t get in five, was because we were traveling. And “YES” if you must know … I did partake of some alcoholic beverages whilst I was on the vaca! And I don’t feel bad about it at all, it just means I’m going to have to work out hard to get the excess off.

I wanted to call Dre so many times to thank her! Why … can I just tell you that my first night there I put on a pair of pants I had not worn in years and they were FALLING OFF my backside!!! My hubby says, “Dang baby … you’re smaller than when I met you! How much weight have you lost?!!!! OH that made me feel so good! If that weren’t enough the swimsuits I bought without trying on – 2 sizes larger, cause you know black women & booties have issues with swimsuits – were also too big. No I didn’t break of any two-piece bikini’s that is … but I really think I should have purchased at least one!

Needless to say … it felt so great to actually SEE the fruits of my labor! It’s been a while since I’ve felt this beautiful and comfortable with my body. As always … don’t get it twisted … I’ve still got a ways to go on this journey … but I’m motivated like heaven to keep it moving …

WEEK 18
Monday, June 1, 2010
I’m not even going to lie … I had some drinks this weekend and some ribs! I did an hour and a half of Billy Blanks so hopefully that will offset some of those martinis (smile). I was afraid to drink my favorite … champagne … haven’t had any in a couple of months - I think. Surprisingly, I just wasn’t feeling it! You just don’t know … champagne was a “major” weak spot for me. This is MAJOR!

This week I have to get back on schedule and am committed to doing so. I’m headed to CABO next week, so you know I’ve got to get it poppin! I received so many compliments this weekend about my progress thus far, and I have to say I am beyond happy that I have stayed focused. The compliments give me even more motivation. Some days are harder than others, but when I commit to doing something, I do it.

Got my husband on board now and that is a GREAT feeling! I can’t wait until he starts really achieving the results he’s shooting for! Damn … somebody’s gonna have to get fixed over here (smile) … we can’t afford anymore children!!!

WEEK 17
Friday, May 28, 2010
The past few days have been rough. I’ve had little sleep as we try to make final preparations. Needless to say, I managed to squeeze in a short workout Wednesday and today. I’ve tried my best to stay on track with my eating … not eating as much this week, but trying to nourish my body every 3 hours. These are the times where the focus can get off, but I just keep telling myself to “do something” … even if it’s only 30 minutes.

Thanks Roz for reaching out! You’re the best!
