I’m back in Tennessee now. This week we drove from Memphis to North Carolina and back just to make our road trip a complete coast to coast road trip.
What started in Venice Beach, CA…
ended in Emerald Isle, NC.
It was a super fun two weeks traveling around the US with Kepa, but I’m more than excited to be done with it. I’ve been traveling for 3 full weeks now. I’m ready to stop. I’m glad to be doing nothing for the next three weeks until I move to NZ.
I like the video I made this week… it’s fun and shares my thoughts and weigh in, so make sure you watch it!
If you like my videos you can subscribe to my youtube page and see them first. ;)
Weight In:
Current Weight: 210.6 lbs
Previous Weight: 210.4 lbs
Weight loss: + 0.2 lbs
Weight loss Total: – 40.4 lbs
Starting Weight: 251
Last week’s goals:
1. Eat less sodium. Completed as best as I could considering I was still on the road and eating out often.
2. Drink more water. Did well on the majority of days. It’s actually only since I’ve been home the last day that I’ve not drank enough!
This week’s goals:
1. Workout three times.
2. Drink enough water each day.
3. Avoid the massive amount of bread we have in this house.
4. Eat more veggies and fruits. (easy since non were consumed lately)
Thoughts:
I’m glad that instead of going crazy this week I got to enjoy some things but still be healthy enough that I didn’t gain any weight. Now that I’m staying put and am at home I want to get back to losing weight. This week I will work out and drink my water and hopefully knock off the gains from the past three weeks. I have a bigger goal in mind but I’m not sure I want to reveal it at this moment. So I’m also going to be working toward that. It’s going to be an awesome week! ;)

I tried! Hopefully I did well enough that this will all come off quickly. ;)

It’s good to hear that you didn’t gain, I guess it’s one more reason to think of the past days and smile (as if you needed any more!). Good lcuk for your goals! :) It should be easier to have more veggies now.

Yes, having more veggies is much easier now. I love my fridge for keeping my veggies cool! :)
Even with making the best possible choices, it’s really difficult to maintain/lose weight with traveling and eating out. Great job!
I love the dress you’re wearing in the first photo :) You look beautiful!

Agreed. Even making good choices you are still usually consuming more sodium and other things you don’t normally eat. It’s hard.
Thanks. ;) It’s one of my favorites.
That bread stuff is a killer. Keep eating those fancy veggies.
Haha. Agreed. Bread in mass quantities is not what I need. But it’s yummy? LOL
I think what you are doing is fantastic and very inspirational (let’s not forget brave)! Keep up the great work Mary – you’ll get there (and inspire many along the way). I am adding you to my recommended sites on my teams blog (just launched).

Thank you very much CJ!
I need to put a road trip on my bucket list! Emerald Isle looks niiiice.

Oh you should! :) It’s probably harder with all your greedy kids, but I love road trips. ;)
Emerald Isle was nice!
Work it sister! Way to go one staying steady while on vacay! That’s always a rough time.

Wow you did so well on your road trip, great damage control and looks like you had a lovely trip. I’ve enjoyed reading both your blogs over the journey, some great photos too :-)

Aw, thanks D! The road trip was lovely and I’m so glad I got to do it. ;)
The beach looks lovely and I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and learning from your weight loss plan. One of the hardest things is eating right on vacation.
NC looks a lot nicer at the beacj than CA! :-) We are back to some pleasant weather here again! I love these 70′s in the summer when it normally is a lot hotter!
Hope your family situation allows you to accomplish your goals. I know that can get you upset so go take a walk when that happens! :-)

I know, right? You might expect the opposite. We were in Cali at the worst time (well the best for Disneyland) for a beach trip. But it was still fun.
I’m going to try to still accomplish my goals. Crush them, actually. ;)
Congrats! It’s definitely a bonus to complete an adventure without gaining too much. Enjoy your rest from the trip :)
Love your blog!!! Great that you have videos too! Check out my blog too, you might like some of my ideas for WW.
Wait Wait Wait! You’re MOVING? Here?! To NZ? Did I know this and just forget or did I miss it? Squee! Where in NZ will you be? How long for? We’ve been here a year now and loving it. It’s different to where we were in Canada (obviously) but we love it. And it’s starting to warm up.
You look so happy in those pictures! And gorgeous too!
