Weight Loss Plan Part Duex

Last week we received word that one of Trevor's nephews, Aaron, is getting married.  We saw him last on Christmas (for about an hour) along with his girlfriend, now fiance.  Naturally we will be going to the wedding.  Upon hearing the details however, my stomach started twisting uncomfortably.

1.  The wedding is on July 7...peak tourist season and is considered the "Independence Day holiday weekend" so there will be a lot of people on vacation.
2.  The wedding will be held on the beach at North Myrtle Beach, SC.
3.  Did I mention that it is peak tourist season?

So started checking online for hotel deals.  We will of course be driving.  I am just sticking my head in the sand about that cost at this point because who knows what gas prices will be on the biggest summer vacation weekend of the year.  I found a hotel about 10 minutes from the beach.  A Super 8.  Not to bad of a price for 3 nights (Friday-Monday).

My husband was not excited about that deal.  I have never been to Myrtle Beach, but he went there almost every year as a kid and knows the strip.  He compared it to Gatlinburg (which I AM very familiar with) in terms of traffic, so that 10 minutes would be more like 40...in traffic.

So I found out where the wedding party will be staying and was directed to the Avista Resort.  Go ahead and google it.  Wow.  Long story short, found a one bedroom suite that we will be sharing with  my mother in law for the weekend for more than three times the price of the Super 8, but it has a kitchen and is right on the beach so hopefully less driving once we get there.

Once the reality that we are actually going set in, the panic built up that I am going to have to wear a swimsuit.  In Public!  !#%^!$%!@$%!

I have 2 months to lose enough weight that I don't cry at my reflection in a swimsuit.  Right now I about cry when I see a picture of myself fully clothed, so I have a long way to go!

I decided to try Visalus.  They have a 90 day challenge, which I will be 2/3 of the way through by July 6 when we leave for Myrtle Beach, so even if I am not at my weight loss goal of 45 pounds, I hope to be over halfway there which will make a huge difference.  When I talked to my step sister about it, I found out that it is not only for weight loss but for nutrients, blood sugar, and other health related issues.  And I found out that if 3 people buy it through me, I get my mix for free!  So if you are wanting to try something new to lose weight or get healthy, please call me!
