Another Wedding....

This has been a rough couple of weeks for staying on track. This past weekend we went to another wedding. This wedding was in Minneapolis which mean spending time with family and college friends. It also meant it was really hard to stay on track. With delicious options such as fried cheese curds and Juicy Lucys!

A coworker asked me last week how much weight I had loss. She said she was noticing how my face looked thinner recently, compliments like that are a great boost of confidence. Especially when I don't think my weight loss has been that significant.

Before leaving for the wedding, I was carefully tracking my food and was putting in more time at the gym than usual. I made it 3 mornings last week, which can be tricky because I do love my sleep!
Andy and I flew out on Friday and were greeted by my sister and niece. My sister was great and had made soup for dinner, loaded with veggies and chicken, all power foods :). Saturday we ventured to a farmers market and the Stone Arch Bridge to show Andy the Mississippi River. Below are some of the pictures from our morning adventure.

Soon to be Uncle Andy with Adelaide and Theodore!

Saturday night was the wedding, which was a ton of fun! Then Sunday we had another outdoor day watching my brother in law play ultimate frisbee. Sunday night we went to introduce Andy to Jucy Lucy's and then Andy and I met some friends for drinks.

When we got home Monday, I quickly focused on making correct food choices this week. Loaded the fridge up with veggies and fruits. Tuesday was personal trainer day, and boy did he kick my butt!! I had jelly arms by the end of the session.

Wednesday was weigh in day. I wasn't expecting to lose given the trip to MN, so I kept debating if I should use my no weigh in pass this week. I don't think a weight gain will derail my lifestyle change, but it is so hard to tell how I will react emotionally. I decided to weigh in, and face my food choices, but I also decided it is time to take measurements again and did that after my WW meeting...but then couldn't find the tape measure :( Below are the results of my weigh in:

I felt a great sense of accomplishment that the extra effort I put in before and after the wedding paid off. My total weight loss is 5.4 lbs! Ready to tackle another week
