Time Off

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone!

I'm back from all my travels. My dad is at home now (he had

back surgery, in case anyone doesn't know) and is still getting

over the pneumonia, but he's going to be ok. Thank you to

everyone who sent well-wishes.

Jamaica was wonderful...came at a perfect time...at the end of

my first challenge, and right after a VERY stressful visit to Dallas.

I took my after pictures on the balcony of my suite w/the ocean

and palm trees in the background. Hope they come out ok! I

probably won't post any until after my SECOND challenge, which

I'm starting on Monday.

During my week off, I have been eating whatever I want, pretty

much. But I find myself getting full fast and not enjoying

" forbidden " foods as much. Cool! I also did an upper body

workout when I was in Jamaica...nothin like pushing a barbell

above your head while looking at the beach! Wow. I thanked

God every day I was there...I'm so thankful and lucky to do what I

do.

As far as final stats, really the only thing for sure is the scale,

which went from 164 to 158. Not much in the numbers, but my

body shape changed quite a bit.

I'm starting my next challenge on Monday, June 19, and hopefully

my girlfriend will be joining me. I'm really looking forward to

starting again.

Glad to hear of everyone's adventures, and I hope everyone's

having a great week!

Peace,

Jami
