I'm changing...Woo Hoo!!

I guess it's true..once you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!!  That has held true for me this last week and a half and I am uber excited about it!!  So here's my backstory:  Our summer vacation is coming up at the end of this month...and of course we're taking our lil monster back to Disney World (I'm really getting tired of seeing Mickey but he loves it!!).  I can't lie, I wasn't super excited about this trip when my husband first proposed it because we have been to DW every yr since we've been married (5yrs this May) and of course he had to include another part of his family to come along!!!  Now if you have read my previous post about our last trip to Florida with his parents, then you pretty much know how I'm feeling about this !!  This time it's his older brother and his family.   I must say that I feel a lil bit better (not great) about them coming along!  My BIL is a cool laid back guy and he can cook (always a plus)!  My SIL is nice also.  Now the kids may pose a headache for 5 days but at least I have someone to help keep the monster occupied!!  He loves being around his cousins!!  Trust me, I will post an entry about how it all went when we get back.  So stay tuned!!  Now on to the good stuff...I have lost 7 pounds.  YAY me!!!  WOO HOO!!!  This makes me so happy!!   The weight loss all came about after I realized that everytime I go on vacation I have to buy new clothes, all a size bigger than the last!!  I refused to do that this time and plus I'm so sick of looking like a bloated ragdoll!!  My tummy was starting to look like I was 6 months preggo and it didn't help when my 3 yr old came and grabbed one of my fat rolls and said "ooh mommy what's that?"!!  That did it...I decided then and there that I was gonna take action.  So now, every morning, I attempt to do exercises...mostly Zumba and the elliptical machine!!  I also have stopped drinking sodas and only drink water.  Sugar has also been axed from my diet!!  I can really see the difference...I've lost two fat rolls and my muffin top has shrunk down alot!!  My goal was to lose 10 pounds so I have 3 more to go!!  Can you say I'm so ready to rock my zebra print tankini swinsuit...lol!!  Not ready for that bikini yet but I'mma get there!!
