Three Things Thursday...

I know it's been a while since I've updated!  Not much has changed as far as my workouts go so I don't want to bore you all with posting the same things over and over!  I figured I'd just give you a quick update on what's been going on lately... Complete with pictures!

1.  March 15th marked the halfway point of my weight loss journey!  At that point I'd lost a total of 18lbs and Trainer Jeremy was down a total of 15lbs!  Here we are in our St. Patty's Day green ready for a night out...


Here's a before and after...
The before is Dec. 24th and the after is March 17th


2.  Jeremy took Lady K out for her Girl Scout Troop's annual Daddy/Daughter Dance, so I thought I'd show off some of my good looking family! 

Jeremy & Lady K before the dance...

They were the best looking couple there...
If I do say so myself!


3.  This week is spring break so we decided to get away for a few days!  We usually will spend a night or two at an indoor water park about 30 minutes from our home but this year we headed up to the Wisconsin Dells and spent a few nights at The Wilderness Waterpark Resort... and for the first time in over 10 years I rocked a bikini!  I'm not gonna lie.. at first it felt a little strange... almost like I was naked but after a while I just didn't care!  I worked hard for what I have... and darn it... I'm showing it off!

"We work out..."


My Babies...


So there you have it... just a little update on what's been going on!  Trainer Jeremy and I are still working hard 6 days a week at the gym and I still have a good 10-12 lbs left to lose!  My next goal is to really be able to rock a bikini come camping season!  We have a few big trips planned this year and for the first time in what seems like forever... I'm excited for summer and the warm weather!

Tuesday Tid-Bits

Today's post shall be done bullet point style...

  • Yes, I'm still alive... Duh!  And yes, I'm still trucking along on my weight loss journey!  I've been skipping Weigh In Wednesday's (well at least one of them) because I feel like they're all I do!  I'm still updating my ticker so if you're curious to see where I'm at... Just check it out.  14 lbs... that's right! 
  • Speaking of weight loss... do you remember that weight loss contest I told you I signed up for?  Well, by some sort of miracle I'm in second place... 2nd PLACE!  Ummmm.... I haven't been in the running this whole time and now all of a sudden... BAM (sorry Emeril for stealing your saying) I'm in second place.  And it's not like I'm far behind the first place person... they're at 4.3% body fat lost and me, I'm at 4.1%...  It's that close people!  Let me ask you this... do you know what happened when Trainer Jeremy saw the numbers?!?  Yep... My daily ass kickings workouts got a whole lot harder!  See, Trainer Jeremy, he's a bit competitive... ok not a bit... maybe extremely competitive is more like it so when he saw how close I was to winning his game (and mine) stepped up!  He says it's for me and the wonderful feeling I'll have when I win but really I think he just wants the prize that comes with winning... a 42" flat screen TV!  Can you blame him?!?
  • Yesterday I signed up for my first race of the season (and after the cost it might be my only race of the season)!  I'm so excited to do this run because it's not just a run, Ladies, no it's the Dirty Girl Mud Run!  Oh man am I excited!  It's a girls only mud run that raises money for breast cancer research.  My beautiful friends and I have formed a team and plan on KILLING it at this race!  I couldn't think of a better way to spend the last Saturday in June... Getting down and dirty with my favorite girls... and all for a good cause... HOLLA!
  • I'm coming up on the half way point of my weight loss journey... and number wise I'm about half way there as well!  Soon I'll be posting a new picture of me and Trainer Jeremy so you can see our hard work first hand!  It doesn't seem like it should be March already... Where is this year going?!?  How are all of you doing with your goals or resolutions you set for yourself back in January?
