51 lbs!

Well I've lost 51 lbs so far! So excited that I'm almost to my goal weight. You can look at my before and now by clicking HERE. At the time I took my before picture, I thought, there is no way I'm going to show this to people. But I don't care anymore, that was the old me.

Well, I have 10 more lbs to reach my goal. But I already feel better than I've ever felt! I hope to reach my goal by my Birthday, August 14Th. Than I get to go shopping! because I do need a new wardrobe! I'm down to 2 pair of shorts and 1 pair of jeans, the jeans I bought about 5 years ago, and they are a little worn. My shorts are actually a little to big for me, but they aren't falling off yet so they'll work until I go shopping.

I only wish this program existed long ago. One thing that separates this from all the rest is that every thing is laid out for you. They have meal plans for every week of exactly what you need to eat. And its good simple food. They also teach you how to prep your meals. I prep all my meals on Saturday or Sunday, and the rest of the week I just have to pull it out of the fridge.

If you want to try it out go to kristiapproved.com and do the 7 day challenge. If you do it let me know how it goes! I lost 5 lbs in the first week. Oh they also have a work out plan that goes with the program. I used to work out before i did this program but was never as consistent as I am now.

And if you decide to do the 7 day challenge, watch these you tube videos from Kristi and Trish about meal prep.

Also, some of my other favorite things about the program is any time I had a question I emailed them and would get a response back within the hour. There where a couple times when I got really discouraged because maybe I didn't lose weight that week and they would call me and talk to me for a while. They also send you weekly news letters. Its just great because if for some reason somethings not working for you they are always there to help.

Also, they have seminars all the time, so if you want learn more about the program and you live in Utah, or are going to be here sometime let me know and I'll go with you. The next one is this Wednesday in Lindon, I'll be there so let me know if you want to go too.

Where a grown up can be a kid

Disney World!! In June me and Clint went to Disney world. It was a blast!
Yes, this is me getting an autograph, I told Clint that since I never did this as a child I wanted to get an autograph book and get autographs. Meeting the characters was one of my favorite parts.
One of the only times Clint will let me drive
while he's in the car.

We went to all the parks and one water park.

Clint got sick one day, good thing that was a designated pool day! This is him laying by the pool. He would rather have been laying in the hotel room, but we were switching hotel days and we were in between checking out of the old one and checking in to the new one.

I love how all the carters pose for the pictures on the rides!

We also went to sea world. Feeding the dolphins was my favorite part of the whole trip!
Well this was my first trip to Disney World, but I'm sure it won't be my last, this is Clint's favorite vacation spot. And his dream is actually to get a job for Disney when he graduates. We'll see if that works out.
