Total inches lost- 14 inches…over a freakin foot.
Total weight lost- none. After the initial 3 pound loss which came back..I hung steady at my normal weight.
How do you manage to not lose any weight when you’ve lost over a foot of body size you ask? It’s easy….be Claire. Bear in mind that I am hypothyroid and had to have gastric bypass in order to lose significant weight. She has a newer program called Ripped in 30 which I plan on buying today and including diet modification, see what happens.
Onwards!
Christmas was wonderful! The kids were happy…we were all together…and for the first time in years Skip and I exchanged gifts. We usually donate the money we would spend on each other but for whatever reason…this year we didn’t. And on Christmas Eve..unable to contain their excitement..my family gave me my heart’s desire.
I call him Blu.
I cried…told them that they couldn’t buy me a kayak…and parked my ass right in it. I am SO happy and excited. Although it’s kind of like getting a bike for Christmas….here’s your present…you can use it in 6 months…HA! We have big plans Blu and I. I’ve wanted one since we rented them on vacation two years ago…and knowing I would never spend the money on myself…Skip did it for me…I love that man. I was so completely touched and amazed that the kids were able to keep it a secret.
Christmas Eve
She was part of the multitude..kind of ironic.

Happy New Year everyone!!
Oh wow! That is so COOL! :) Can't wait to see pics of Blue in action.
ReplyDeleteI'm on day 20 of the shred....I should be done by now, but every day isn't happening for me! :) I do like the abs and strength part of it. I plan on finishing over the next two weeks. Can't wait to hear how the ripped goes...I might be following along with you!
I may have to try the shred! Your kayak is awesome. I teared up because as moms we often won't do for ourselves. So touching when our family recognizes this and does it for us! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat an OUTSTANDING present! And to keep it a surprise? Just fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
