Staying Motivated!! (Ten pounds!)

Okay, SO...

I Weighed myself this morning.

I am down 3 pounds. Holy crap. That means I have 7 pounds until I get to my 10 pound goal before the cruise. I'm so excited!! I'm feeling great, motivated, and I'm ready to kill it in the gym.

Yesterday we were looking up details for our cruise.

We're ready!

Flights paid for - check

Cruise paid for - check

Birth Certificates ready to prove our citizship - check

Bodies ready to tan - CHECK!!!

It's going to be such a nice trip, and after our cruise we come home and leave right away for Sturgis. That's more Kyles thing...but I'm along for the ride. For the ones who don't know, Sturgis is a HUGE biker rally in the Black Hills (In South Dakota). It's gorgeous there, and THOUSANDS of people gather for the rally. There are huge campsites, Drunk Buses that shuttle people back and forth, and fair food everywhere. Women dress in barely any clothing, and I act like I'm a biker girl for a few days. (We all know the truth.)

here are a few pictures from last year!

last year I was in shock...

I've never experienced anything like that. lol

A lot of Naked girls, pasteys, Foul language, thongs and booty shorts, biker gangs, and people dressed in barely nothing with their kids in tow. It's quite classy, really. Kyle, his parents, and his grandparents used to go all of the time. His grandpa passed a few years ago, so it's special for him to keep up the tradition. His grandpa was quite the character!! You should see some of HIS pictures...Hilarious.

It's a lot of fun, but i'm going to be so tired at the end of those two weeks! So much traveling, and being out in the sunshine! Not to mention, I'll be broke! lol I have a surprise for Kyle that I've been planning....I can't give details yet because I'm not sure if he'll read this. I know he loves surprises, and I've only given him one clue so far: It's tan. The possibilies are endless, but let's just say he wouldn't expect me to pull this off.

I can't wait to see his reaction!!

Sales are everywhere this weekend, So I'm going to check out the online shopping and see if I can cause some damage!! I hope everybody is having a great weekend, and hope you have great plans for your 4th! It's a day to celebrate!

I work 7 - 3, then we're heading to the lake (2 hours away) to go tubing, Gonna BBQ, Shoot out at the farm, and Head out to watch fireworks. : )

Lots of pictures to follow!

Until then,

xoxo

I need a tissue for my issue.

These days all I do is work and sit at home like a big ol' bum (and that's what I've given myself.) When I went back home to visit a few weeks ago, I went shopping and bought all of this ADORABLE stuff, just to come back home and realize I have nowhere to where that stuff. I've been kind of in a rut lately when it comes to my self confidence. Poor Kyle, that's got to be annoying. LOL

I plan on making a list and completing everything on that list every week. First things first: GYM TIME needs to be a priority, not an option. I am just not a fan of those moments before you get to the gym. Once I'm there, I'm fine...but jeez- getting myself to actually get dressed and GO? End of my world...or you would THINK so...haha. I have a weight loss goal of 25 pounds, and I plan on giving updates. I started a new eating plan (that's my way of saying a diet.) I am SO jealous of those people who can eat whatever they want and not gain a pound. I gain five pounds just looking at a hamburger or something full of deliciousness and calories.

Bring on the salads! *undoes top button of pants*



I've also come to realize Alyssa (yes I'm speaking in third person) has a shopping addiction. It gets so bad that I have to add things to my online shopping cart so I'll feel better. On forever21.com, they keep adding all of this cute spring clothes. I LOVE SPRING CLOTHES!! I love all of the pretty colors and floral patterns!

Let's take note that I have been living in negative degree weather for the first time in my life. The day I can get away with wearing sundresses and sandals, I will be!

Maybe I should clean out my jam-packed-FULL closet. Until then I'll admire it from afar....sighhhh
