So many surprises, so little time

Tuesday morning I faced the scale after a long weekend in Vegas. I was so nervous walking into class!! I took my sneakers off, hopped on the scale and BOOM! 1.5lbs down in 4 days !!!! WHUT WHUT!!! That brings my grand total so far to 13.5 lbs!!! I am 6.5 lbs away from my goal. There is an end in site and I can’t wait to get there!!!!

To make my goal even more attainable, surprise number one came in the form of finding out that class has been extended to August 31^st. That means 2 extra weeks of food delivery and workouts with Leandro. Our final photos will take place on the 29^th  of August, just one day before my second trip to Vegas!!! I was so glad to hear this news because I was getting nervous I wouldn’t have enough time to reach my goal. Now, this works out perfectly… I kick butt all the way to the end of the summer and as a reward I get to spend my birthday weekend in Vegas with Alex (and my mom!!). I have already booked a massage, a facial, a hair appointment and reservations at Nobu for the 29^th! It’s going to be a celebratory day, with well deserved treats for yours truly… that is, of course, only if I make my goal!

The second surprise we got was the opportunity to do a Shakeology cleanse for 3 days this coming weekend. They gave this option to people who were looking to boost their weight loss. Sign me up! The way it works is as follows: Day 1- 3 shakes, 2 meals (veggies and protein), Day 2- 2 shakes, 3 meals/snacks (veggie/protein), Day 3- 2 shakes, 3 meals/snack (veggie/protein), no starch, no bars and no fruit. The shakes are so tasty, it'll be a nice break from 

The third surprise we got this week was Leandro had been planning to have a world class pole-dancing instructor teach class on Friday!!! We were all instructed to dress as “s*xy” as possible, with heels, make-up and booty shorts!!! It ended up being AWESOME! And let me tell you something, the moves were not easy. I give credit to these girls, they have to be in tip top shape to perform... it's like a workout on stage! Here is a picture from class!

This weekend Alex and I travel upstate to spend the weekend at a lake house that my mother has rented out for a week. I can’t wait to see everyone, especially my niece Emily! Stay tuned for pictures from our trip!
