Just wanted to let you know that we made it to our first destination safe and sound. I'm downloading pictures right now and DH and DD went to grab us some yummy Mexican Food from across the street.

I'll have my first installment in a few!

SEPTEMBER 17th/ Day 1​

Well to start off I’d like to mention that I had a horrible nights sleep last night. My mind was racing with thoughts of my upcoming trip, and I think I finally passed out around 1:30 am or so. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem except my alarm went off at:

​

After showering, getting ready, and packing up the car, I woke up Sleeping beauty!

​

I was SOOOO HAPPY to finally be going. I needed to document my perma grin I had all morning.

We had the car packed up

And were on the Road by

​

After an hour of driving we pulled over in Greeley Colorado to fuel up and fill our belly’s with some greasy, fattening, burger king! ~~ For those of you who know me, you know that I haven’t eaten fast food in a very, very long time. But I knew ahead of time that it would be a factor in our trip, because it’s cheap and fast. I felt so horrible after eating it. I skipped the tater tots and picked off most of the bread on my breakfast sandwich and washed it down with bottled water. Ever since I’ve lost all that weight I definitely notice that my stomach has shrunk because it doesn’t take much to fill me up. I’m so nervous that I’m going to gain a bunch of weight on this trip. I don’t want to pig out and eat really bad food, but I want to eat what I want to eat. So I guess I just need to concentrate on my portion sizes?!?

You are incredibley cute!!

 

[mommaU4]

Deanna, you are off to a great start!! I hate waking up early. I can never sleep when I know I have to wake up early.

Your car looks almost as packed as ours usually does.

I know you've been doing fantastic on your diet. I've lost some too, not as much as you, and I also noticed it takes less to fill me up now. DH and I went out to lunch the other day and I barely touched my fries and only ate half my sandwich. That used to be unheard of for me!! LOL

I also started thinking about how I'm going to eat while at Disney and just decided I will order what ever I want but share it with the family if it's a snack food, or with DH if it's an entree. That way I can still have a taste of everything, without overeating. So maybe that will work for you as well.

Good luck and can't wait to hear more.

Well my goal for the trip is 1. To drink lots and lots of water 2. Not to snack ((just have breakfast, lunch, and dinner)) 3. Cut my serving size in half 4. Walk, Walk, Walk 5. Don't drink any soda 6. Stop eating when I'm full.

I didn't to nearly enough walking today and I forgot my tennis shoes. Otherwise I would have hit the gym tonight.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Yay! Glad to hear you arrived safely at your first destination! This live TR is going to be so fun!

I love the picture you took of yourself from this morning - you've got that bloodshot, glassy eyed look that comes from lack of sleep! I'm always like that the night before a trip, I can never sleep - my mind is just spinning - glad to see I'm not the only one!

 

[reyasmommy]

I'm about to post the 2nd installment of my first day. I just wanted to warn everyone that I will have lots and lots and lots of pictures during this trip report, so I hope your all prepared. It's only the first day and I have over 100 pictures. LOL! It's hard choosing which ones to leave out.
