About Me

My photo
I started my weight loss journey at 19 years old weighing 274 pounds, wearing a Size 22-24. I lost 115 pounds over two years, and was wearing a size 8! I got married, let my determination fall and I slowly gained 50 pounds of that back. Then I got pregnant and added another 55 pounds onto what I had lost. I am down 35 pounds so far and 70 pounds away from my goal. Join me on this life long journey!

Chocolate Kingdom

On Tuesday I went shopping with Rylee and my sister-in-law Melanie. Sean's couzin Renee and her baby Jenna also met us too for a perfect girls day! 




Yesterday we went to Renee's parents place and went swimming before going to dinner at Outback Steakhouse.




Today we went to a chocolate factory to have a tour. It was actually really fun! It was an informative tour that including a few small samples of freshly made chocolate and at the end there was a make your own chocolate bar station. We decided to share one since they were large and we all picked a topping to go in. It ended up being SO good because it was really fresh.


An entire castle made of chocolate, complete with a flowing chocolate moat!

After that we came back to the house and Rylee and I went swimming in the tub -- it's a two person tub and I wanted her to get some nudy time in so it was a perfect chance! We had a little snuggle/nap afterwards before we headed to Applebee's for dinner.

Tomorrow is Ryan (Sean's brother) and Melanie's 5 year anniversary. They are going to celebrate by going to Sea World for the day. I am going to drop them off then go shopping again with Rylee to a different mall (I didn't really find anything I wanted at the first mall). 

Sean's parents are leaving on Saturday morning for a cruise so we need to pack all of our stuff tomorrow night so we can send it with them (we are avoiding paying for baggage on the flight). Today was our last full day here all together (since Mel and Ryan are doing their own thing tomorrow). 

Our time here (although not over) has been really great and I have really enjoyed being here. I am really excited for the day that Rylee is old enough to go to Disney. There is a book here at the house that I have been reading about the different parks and I am so excited to see her face someday.

Since Sean has family here in Florida we are going to try to come every few years so that we can see them and go to places with Rylee (and future children someday-- and no I am not pregnant!). Seeing Rylee's face light up at Sea World as Shamu leaps in the air, or at Disney when she gets to meet Cinderella...I think we should start saving now ;)

Anyways we still have a few days here that are full of fun things and family before heading home on Sunday. I am looking forward to seeing Sean again -- I know it's only been a few days but I miss him A LOT.
