Two more days!

At this time on Thursday morning, Steve will be driving me to the airport!  I am really excited about our weekend!  I just wish I was meeting up with Steph at the airport though, like last year :(  Oh well, I will have to wait a few more hours and I will be meeting up with Read and Linda at the airport on the other side!

I haven't started to pack yet but I think I have it figured out.  Suitcase is coming out today!  My dress is going to wrinkle and I am assuming that the hotel has some sort of dry cleaning service so I can have them iron it for me.  I'd do it myself but there are pleats involved!   I also have to remember to pack a separate bag for when I get home on Monday because we are heading straight to Disney for two nights with friends.

I am also excited that the weather is going to be on the cool/cold side.  We have not seen anything close to cold, or even cool, here in Florida.  I'm listening to the news now and its going to be 90 again today!  I am so over summer!

On the work front, I wrote a contract yesterday so lets hope that one, the bank accepts it and two, everything else can wait until next week when I get home!  I'd rather not have to worry about being on the phone all day on Friday negotiating or setting up inspections!  I know I probably just jinxed myself too.  The good thing is that Steve will be home and he is also a licensed agent so he can  handle most things that come up in my absence...he just would rather not have to!

On the weight front, I am still holding steady at 147-148...I am so happy that maintaining these last two months has really been easy.  I pray that will be the story for a very long time to come! I am still exercising 4-5 times on a good week and 3 on a bad one.  I know that for me, this is the key to losing the weight and now in maintaining it.  I plan on packing my exercise clothes and getting to the gym 2 times in Chicago and that will give me 4 visits this week.

I have to say that shopping for clothes has really become a pleasurable experience! I used to dread going clothes shopping and would get so discouraged about how I looked, assuming that I even found something that fit!  Now, the only frustrating part is not finding something that I absolutely love!  I am firmly into size 8's for jeans/pants (except for Levi's...size 10 there.  Damn Levi's!) and small/med shirts. My shoe size has even gone from a 7.5 to a 7 which baffles me because I've always had small feet but whatever.  I did buy a pair of boots in a 7.5 because I would be wearing heavier socks.

I was planning on going to the gym today but I'm fighting some thing in my throat/head and just don't feel up to it this morning.  I'm praying whatever it is, is gone or better by tomorrow.  I don't want to deal with flying with any congestion.  I will make sure I have plenty of decongestant meds though.  I ruptured my two ear drums on a plane once when I was sick....pain was worse than labor.

See you all soon!
