Wow what a crazy month it has been. When I got back from NYC, I simply could not get back on the wagon. What’s with that? I lost the two pounds that I had gained in NYC and kept them off until this past Friday. I had a TON of sodium and too much alcohol this weekend and this morning I was up 4 lbs! Crap!!! So I can’t let this happen, today is lots of water and back to eating right.
I know I am not going to hit my 30 lb goal for the Slimmer this Summer challenge, but I think I can still hit 30 lbs lost from my start date which was one week before STS started. So I am happy with that!
Sorry for being such a loser and not posting, reading others progress and everything else. I’m back now!

Hello everyone! I am back from a very extended vacation and man is it good to be home! Hubby and I decided to start our vacation early and we left 3 days early and went to Atlantic City! Then we lost all of our money! haha… We journeyed on to NYC and wowza!!! I loved it! I could totally live there, we did SOOO much… well I did so much, but that’s another story! I have tons of pics and stuff I want to tell you all but that will wait for tomorrow.
Down to business:
Weigh In – I am a swollen monkey! I didn’t drink near enough water on my trip and while there was an awesome cafe across the street from our hotel that made kick ass salads, I also indulged in some yummy street food. My total GAIN for the past 2 weeks has been 2 lbs. I walked my rear off in NYC, so I think when I start up with my water again tomorrow, the weight will fall off!
Zumba tomorrow!!! AND my NYC stories!!!

Been crazy busy here. Been out of town and I promise I will do a longer post tomorrow. Mid week I had lost an additional 2 lbs then I BLEW it on the weekend and didn’t drink my water and was just a mess. So my official weigh in leaves me at 0 lbs. I’m just glad I didn’t gain.
More tomorrow!

Ok, so here are my comparison pics. I can tell a small difference, but not much. I think I am too distracted by how horrible I look without any makeup on, and my hair is wild and my sink is dirty… I could go on and on. Anyway, what do you think… can you tell a diff
erence? OH and that should say Diet Began Next Day… Day got cut off.

That’s right I am a flunky… My MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) status got “revoked” unless I pass a current Microsoft exam by TOMORROW. So I went today to take an exam I thought I could ACE… nope… FLUNKED it! To be fair, there were missing documents that caused me to lose a lot of time, but dang… I’ve never flunked a certification exam before! Anyway, I rescheduled my exam for tomorrow morning at 9:15AM, so we shall see.
It’s also been crazy at work. We got new servers and it’s been chaos! Printers don’t work, email doesn’t work, and I could go on and on…. but honestly, it doesn’t matter. Why? Because I am still riding my high from yesterday and being brain tumor free!!! I can’t even explain the difference in my mood, not that I had a bad one before but it was like there was always something there. I feel free again! Like I got my life back (my tumor was not life threatening), my happy back!
So here’s something new… I scheduled an acupuncture appointment a couple of months ago for tomorrow. I was wanting to try anything to get my hormone levels back in whack. Even though the tumor is gone, I am going to keep the appointment and see if there is anything to this stuff.
Food and diet are going AWESOME! I was down another 1.8 lbs this morning (from Monday). Tomorrow is my official one month mark and I wanted to shed 20 lbs, but I am just as happy with 19 lbs!
Hubby is in Cleavland the rest of the week, so little one and I have a standing date at the gym each night. I do Zumba and he goes in the play area or has swim lessons.
That about sums up my day!
OH!!! I took pics this morning when I had hit my 19 lbs down. I wore the same thing I did in my Memorial pic and I have to say it looks much better now! I’ll put it in a side by side tomorrow and post it.
On a side note, thank you to everyone who has given me tips and support. You have no idea what it means to me!

My tumor is GONE… That’s right COMPLETELY GONE!!! Holy crap! I don’t even know what to say! Here is a snapshot of my MRI results:
In addition my cholesterol went down 40 points, my glucose is in normal range which means no more pre-diabetes!
Bad news, I have a fatty liver and my testosterone is high (from the PCOS) so I have to continue to take the Metformin, but who cares!!! My tumor is gone!!!
I get to cut my medicine for my tumor down to 1/2 pill once a week for the next 6 months… if my levels are still normal then, I’ll be able to go off it! Doc also told me that he was extremely proud of me for losing the amount of weigh I have in the past month, which was nice. I am so happy right now!!!!
Hubby and I are going to New York City July 11-15, so I am READY to CELEBRATE!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I am on my way to my doctor’s office and I am dreading it. I am not nervous about the results of my mri… I and not nervous about my sugar levels… I am not nervous about my pcos… I am not nervous about my blood pressure or cholesterol levels. Instead I worry about what he’s going to say about my weight… how messed up is that???
