WEEK 11 & 12: Fat Burning Adventures!

Crazy, fun, and emotional.  Those are the words that describe my last couple of weeks.  I ended up not writing a blog last week because it was so hectic!  Because I didn't do last weeks blog, I am going to combine it in this weeks!!! Last week I had so much fun at the Wild Animal Park with Erika and her little one, Aubry!  We ended up walking for 2 and 1/2 hours.  I got a nasty blister in the first 20 minutes!  Thank God I packed some flip-flops...  Anyways, Erika is crazy.  We are walking up one of the steeper hills, and I am panting because I am way too heavy to carry up all them hills, and that girl starts to do LUNGES up it!  Of course I give it a try, and after 2 I decided I will wait to do that when I don't feel like I have 10 lbs dumb-bells strapped to each of my thighs. I have lots of pictures for this blog!!!  Here are some of us on our fun adventure!

So neat! The Lions were right there!

 Later in that week I was able to go to the park with Erika, Aubry, Alexis and her little ones, Raquel and James!  They had a very fun fountain to play in for the kids, and people like me!  I seriously wanted to jump the fountain, but I didn't want to scare the children. Eden had a blast just sitting in the water watching the big kids play!  I ended up satisfying my thirst for water by swimming laps when I got home. Oh yay!  More pictures!

Just chillin!

Thats Aubry in the back!

The Crew!

She was so tired on the way home!

 The next weekend I had a tea party to go to!  I felt so great being able to shop at one of those little girly girl stores to pick out a fun outfit for the tea!  I seriously have lost so much fat!  More to go! I got to see a lot of old friends, and I even got to spend some time with one of Bree's best friends, Sarah =).  That seriously made my day.  Sarah's mom decorated the table, and it was beautiful! More pictures!

This was my outfit!  

Beautiful table!

Sarah and me!

My mom and me!

The next day I went to a bridal shower!  It was so fun.  Rachelle (the bride to be) was so pretty!  I can't believe how time flies... I got to see Rachelle's sister, Becca as well!  She is another one of Bree's best friends!  It was such a blessing.  

That should cover both the fun and crazy part of the week!  It was really emotional for me because I was missing Bree so much.  All of these fun events were things I used to do with my little sis, and seeing all of those faces really brought back fun memories of her.  I just miss her so much.  I cannot wait to see her again.  It can be really tough sometimes... I just praise God that I WILL see her again. 

So... workout and eating!  I was feeling so discouraged a couple of weeks ago.  I hit a major plateau.  I changed things up a little bit this last week and started to do a lot more muscular workouts.  For example... instead of running in the neighborhood, I ran up the stairs in our house... 94 times!!!! That combined with planks, squats, push-ups, and many other workouts made this last week pretty successful!    Not only am I REALLY soar, but I am starting to lose weight again!  only  a couple of pounds, but that is awesome! 

 I have been making lots of stir-fries and salads, and I have been drinking lots of water.  Food, I am learning, is so important to get right.  As I go along, I am learning more and more from TLS.  Its the eating/exercise program that I am on.  They hold weekly webinars every Monday night at 6 pm.  I would HIGHLY recommend checking it out this Monday!  Free education! =) just go to http://www.meeton.com/ then sign up, then click on the TLS webinar. I will be watching as well. It is so educational! 

So that is it!  I hope you enjoyed this post!
