1st roadtrip

Yesterday we have our very 1st road trip as a family. Technically the hubby and I haven't ever been on a road trip before either so I knew that this was going to be pretty interesting. Thankfully C is at the age where we can start doing more fun activities. Our mutual friends have two kids ages 2 and 5 and our kids are in complete love with each other, its quite cute. We decided to go to a kids museum thats a little over an hour away. The entire way the 5 year old and my husband took turns asking "Are we there yet." And the 2yr old was mad because her brother got to sit next to C and she wanted to. Funny trip to say the least.

Seeing as I started my period this morning I made out a plan if I got hungry I would have snacks ready and available. I knew we would make plenty of pit stops and I didn't want to get sucked into the gas station's greasy hot box selection, the delicious looking hostess, or the fountain drinks. I brought my lunchbox that had 2 apples, fat free pretzels, carrots, and 2 protein bars. And brought 74 oz of water in water bottles.
At one stop I did have the hubby go in and grab me a monster because I didn't sleep well the night before,  I'm out of my herbalife, and this mama needed some extra energy. But at least it was "absolutely zero".

We get to the museum we were all excited. C was chasing the other two kids around all the while trying to make friends with everyone who worked there. She is so outgoing and happy. I have never seen a baby like that. (pretty sure I've said that about a million times)

We stayed about 2 hours even though C was hungry and thirsty she just wouldn't stop playing to eat or drink anything. So we went to Cracker Barrel and everyone, including myself, acted as if we hadn't eaten in days. Running around the museum and chasing after 3 kids....[5 if you include our husbands ;)] wore us out!
I wanted to be healthy but I have only eaten there one other time and didn't know when we would have that opportunity again (we don't get out of our small town much if you can't tell). So I ate half of a cheeseburger, half of my fries, 1 roll, and 1 biscuit both with small amounts of butter with water.
So really I didn't do that bad.

We then headed to the mall and did a little shopping (by little I mean almost 4 hours).  I didn't buy much which is weird seeing as we don't go shopping or to a mall very often if at all. Since I have been with the hubs almost 3 years we have never been to a mall. Every time I have gone I have felt like I had to have everything in every store. I would do damage with my hard earned money but this time I grabbed a few things I needed/wanted and left satisfied. I thought about this later and realized in the past I was trying to fill a void an emptiness if you will. But not anymore! Also I didn't want to buy something that probably won't fit in 2 months.

I did have to go to the candy store. It's a tradition. This time I was smarter about how much I got. In the past I used to spend about $15-$20 on just candy?!?!? This time I spent $7. That's a huge difference!

After the mall It was time to head home.
We had a blast.
The kids had a blast.
We got some much needed time out of town.


I ended up staying hydrated all day and so busy that I didn't touch my snacks or even want anything to eat except for lunch.

When I got home there was a package waiting for me. It was my running bra I ordered online. I know that my boobs have shrank like crazy so I decided to order a B to see what size I really am. My bust measurement is about a 34 but I ordered a 38, just in case. But sadly I am a B and it fits pretty perfectly.
This has to be one of the hardest parts of losing weight. My boobs have been one of the biggest reasons why I haven't wanted to lose weight in the past. So going from a D to a B is really hard. The only thing I can compare it to is if a man got his balls removed. (or at least what I feel has happened to me.) Hopefully I will be getting some new girls once I hit my goal if not soon after.
