Home, Busy Life and Happy Bandiversary

What a whirlwind of a few days.  I decided to piggy back on my parents weekend away in Orlando and hit a few theme parks.  It was my parents, my 20 yr old nephew and my nana. 

I arrived Wednesday afternoon and we had dinner at Downtown Disney.  I ordered pretty well and didn't overeat at dinner.  Then we went to Ghiradelli and I ordered ice cream in a waffle bowl. It seemed like a good idea.  After about 3 bites, I gave it to my mom. I was over it. I went back to the hotel and hit the gym with my nephew. The gym sucked so I worked my arms and legs and then we left and walked the perimeter MANY laps.

Then on Friday, we went to Disney World - Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom on Saturday. 
I walked a little over 12 miles for the 2 days at the parks. I was so proud that I ate SO well. I brought protein bars, Greek yogurt and found salads there on site. Nothing fried and lots of water.

I departed on Sunday while they stayed to go to Hollywood Studios. I was a bit theme parked out by that point. I was however in a shopping mood and hit some of the best designer outlets.

I found 2 great summer dresses in XL which really made me ecstatic.  I then bought Zack some great new clothes for our upcoming Chicago trip from Banana Repub.  Everything was 40% off so I got some great new items.  2 new pairs of shoes managed to make it home with me as well. 

Sunday - I was exhausted. I am lucky if I walked 2000 steps all day. I went grocery shopping and that was it.

But a glorious thing occurred this morning when I woke up. The scale moved. About 3 pounds. I am not calling it official yet but will soon if it sticks.   It is apparent I am NOT moving enough.

I have a very sedentary job and even when I go walking at night, it's clearly not enough. I need to get my butt in gear.

2 big weeks up ahead and looking forward to some FUN!

This Thursday, A friends big birthday event at a private club.  Friday night - Erykah Badu concert. Saturday is my friends wedding and it's going to be incredible. Sunday - Easter with my family.

Next week - Chicago. 

I really need to move and keep the food in check this week (INCLUDING EASTER) so I can wear my new cute SMALLER clothes for Chicago next week :)

Oh and lastly - tomorrow is my 2 month bandiversary. Time flies!!
