| I thought this jumping lady could express well my excitement, but she’s really just a creepy floating lady. |
I’ve really been on a roll with working out and eating right this week, so I couldn’t resist one last weigh-in before I went home for the holidays!
Quick Reminder: Last time I weighed in was last Friday… Just FIVE days ago!
Quick PSA to the State of Colorado: I’m about done with snow this year. If Mama Nature doesn’t cool her jets, I’m going to be packing up all the Fiestaware and heading West to live happily ever after in San Diego… Not joking. I detest heavy snow that leaves me stranded or gripping the steering wheel. Please discontinue this unpleasant (although seasonally appropriate) weather in the low country. Pretty Please!!!!
Back to our story…
What I initially heard was that we’d have 3-5 inches, and suddenly I’m told that the new snowfall is set at 10-15 inches (again!) As you can imagine, this Tennessee girl has no time for snow.
So, I pooled my resources and came up with THE BEST PLAN. I’m spending the night here:

| Imagine this place dark and covered with snow |
The Courtyard near the airport seemed like a brilliant idea. Free shuttle service to the airport in the morning and $20 to park for up to 10 days. PERFECTION! Also making this a perfect solution: I booked the room on Marriott points. One of the main perks to traveling 3 weeks a month!
My packing job: I wouldn’t call it perfect (not in a million), but it’s done.
My dinner: Pretty darn perfectly planned

I’m hoping the airport resembles the way it looked at Thanksgiving, but I’m not counting on it. Here’s to getting to Virginia today amidst all this snow.

I hate peas…I'm so with you on that! I've been tracking the weather as we are travelling through the great U.S.A. on our way to a sunny destination and WOW the rockies are getting hammered with that winter wonderland, NOT. Take care and I hope you make it to Virginia safe and sound…I love Virginia, such a pretty state. Marion
” I'm just eating right (not cheating) and working out sometimes… that's it!”
People appear to be a little disappointed when I tell them how I am losing weight. Which is exactly what you are doing. I have recorded 120 days in my food diary and been about 99.95% complete and honest, and exercising too.
It works.. and it really can't fail assuming you do not have a medical issue.
I'm so happy for you and your recent successes! Must feel incredible, especially around the holidays! You've inspired me and I'm trying to be really mindful of my choices
Obviously I'm behind but I hope you made it to VA okay.. but most importantly, congrats on that big loss this week! You're a huge inspiration to me Kelly, seriously. I'm so glad I found your blog
. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks, Hil! I need to catch up on your Christmas break tonight… Your blog's one of my faves too… We're going to get to goal! Gotta stick together!

@Marion – Hope you had a great Christmas! Thanks for the inspiration, as always
@Byzbee – Agreed. No secret breathing techniques or anything. Just eating well and exercising.
@Erin – I should be back on the scale by Friday. Will keep you posted on my progress in your challenge. Not expecting much this week….
