My Final Day and Results

I'm so anxious and excited to see Justin and spend some time with him in Savannah! And then home to my home, kids, puppies and friends. Not necessarily in that order :)

Let me start with yesterday...

I had another slow day. First of all, I was so sore from the day before that I could barely walk when I got out of bed. I was anxious to be leaving here, and stressed out from all the people. There are so many now. The classes are over full, the dining room is loud, the computers are always busy... just a different atmosphere than last week. So needless to say, I did some self-nurturing. I did a little of the arch trainer, and a little of the Nu-step. I did a going home class about using the website, then after lunch I went home, read a little, took an hour nap then decided that I didn't want to go back for dinner. I headed out shopping looking for a new outfit to meet Justin in. (NO, not that kind of outfit... We'll be meeting at the main building.) LOL. I wasn't real excited about my choices, but I found a shirt. Then I went to the Bonefish bar, because that's were I felt comfortable ordering healthy. I had 1 glass of wine, 2 small pieces of bread and olive oil (OMG it was 'that' good. Can't remember when I had bread... white bread...) and for dinner I had a small piece of Chilean Sea Bass with sauce on the side (used dip and spear method) and steamed veggies. I was happy with my choices and it was yummy beyond belief.

Today I was back at it. Could not do the sunrise beach walk because I had my final blood work, weigh in and measure. Results below. I took the Hip Hop class then Boot Camp which was really hard but I'm glad I did it and I felt good when it was over. After snack I went to a great lecture about successful weight management.

I took a golf lesson which was fun. I'm now ready and excited to start golf season.

I took a Yoga class and then had a really yummy gourmet dinner with scallops cooked perfectly. I think it was the best meal since I've been here.

Ok, and now for my results... drum roll....

I lost 12 lbs and 19.25 inches. I do admit that they pulled the tape a bit tighter for the final measure, but still, I'm completely thrilled with those results. Best of all, I feel like I can do a lighter version of this at home and continue to lose. It will be slower but it will be livable.

Most of my blood work was good to begin with, but it did improve some more. My blood pressure was a bit high at 130/92 and went down to 110/78. I'm so happy with that!

My BMI went down 2% and everything improved a small amount.

I'm off to pack and get to bed at a decent hour, I still have half a day left tomorrow! Justin arrives around 2 pm. I plan on showing him around, introducing him to everyone then maybe see the island a little before heading to Savannah.
