Back - Sort Of

Well, I have been MIA for a few weeks as I was on a little trip to the States for a wedding. I enjoyed my time in the States with family and friends and actually was there for a little longer than expected, due to the death of my grandmother. The Lord gave grace and I was able to rejoice over the life and example of my dear Granny as well as rejoice and congratulate my younger sister on her wedding day.

All that said, I did not lose any inches or pounds during my trip :( The truth is, I just didn't exercise at all, though I stuck to my eating plan. On the bright side, I didn't gain any weight or inches, so I will just pick up where I left off.

My sisters talked me into picking up the 30 Day Shred DVD, so I think my workout is about to get kicked up a notch or two - Ha!!! One of my sisters has gone on record as ¨daring¨ me to do this workout start to finish in the 30 day time period. Guess that means it has to happen huh?

My family were SSOOO surprised to see me when I stepped off the plane, so that was a great feeling. You see, they have only seen me at a size 12 or 14 (blush) for the past six years or so. I wore a very lovely sz. 8 dress to the wedding and felt wonderful because sz. 8's fit comfortably now without any sucking in or strange contortions to make it happen :) My next goal is to wear a 6 and since I have never been any smaller than that, hmmm, it might take a miracle. I am counting on Jillian and the gang-Ha!

Well, enough of my rambles. I should probably do my week as a belated Nix the Fix. Not for points, mind you, but just 'cause I need that little shove it always gives me to get headed in the right direction!
