Now that I'm living in Florida for 2 months, I get to spend time in the Disney theme parks and water parks more often. I spent the day with my friend roaming around Typhoon Lagoon where we finished everything in 3 hours. We ended right when the rain started, so our morning was very successful. We  were able to enjoy the rides with minimal wait times. One of my favorite memories of today was our "successful" landing after Crush 'n Gusher. Our tube went out from under us and my friend fell right in while I caught some air, haha. We came up from the water laughing hysterically with a wonderful photograph from the photographer to document that memory. The steps to walk up to the start of the ride was a MAJOR workout for our legs and arms. We rode multiple rides that required us to climb millions upon millions of stairs, too. With the amount of moving we did, I'm not surprised at the amount of calories I lost today (even if MyFitnessPal is not 100% accurate with this one). Something tells me I will be losing a lot of weight working and playing in the parks under the hot sun....

We got to swim with the sharks and stingrays, too!

5/22: Weight Loss!!

Hello everyone! I've been preparing for my trip out of state, so this will be a very short entry.

I weighed myself this morning before I started the day and saw that I've lost 2 pounds. I've lose a total of fourteen pounds since my weight loss journey began. I was so excited that I forgot to capture a photo to share with you guys! haha! My bridesmaid dress I purchased and have been unable to fit into it fits now! I will take photographs of myself sometime tomorrow morning to show guys. I am so happy at the progress I've seen and I owe it all to God for giving me the endurance to continue. Thank you guys for your continued support!

Injury Update

Hello folks!

I just updated my food diary entries and I noticed how terrible I did in the process. When my shin splints injury occurred, I slacked off with healthy eating and ate whatever I could. I'm surprised that even when I slacked off I stayed in my calorie range! Tomorrow will be my last Monday in Maryland, so I'm going to get back on course and strive to pull through this pain. No more excuses whatsoever for me anymore! I'm going to start walking on Tuesday to get my body used to it again. To prevent further pain, I will stretch before and after every workout to relax my muscles.

I'd appreciate it if I can have all of you keep me accountable. I'm starting to get lazy and I don't want to gain my weight back.

Thanks again for your constant support!
