I'm melting, melting!

YAY!

The office has been a little weird lately. I showed up for my appointment last time and it was magically closed. There was a note on the door apologizing for any inconvenience but they closed due to an illness. Not that I was particularly heart broken, I was for sure I gained weight. According to my scale that week, I had put on about four pounds I'm sure of. That's why my New York trip was a wee bit scary, I was hoping that I'd lose it!

My wish came true! I lost the four pounds I put back on, no problem. I'm not really surprised. I made sure I was extra careful about what I ate, and I got tons of exercise in! I'm super happy about that! 

I feel like this whole experience has been a really positive one in my life. Things are finally starting to sink in totally, the lessons that I've been taught at the office. My life is definitely more enjoyable than it was before, because my comfort level has increased. I encourage everyone I talk to, to at least check Aviva out if they're interested. Cody even gave me a free shot this week of Lipotonix because I refer so many patients to the office! She also gave me a stack of cards to carry. They have a really great program for referrals. If you refer someone, it's $25 credit for you AND the new patient! Awesomeness!

This program is costly, however I don't mind paying for it one bit. You can't put a price on your health, and it's given me back so much of my life and then some. My confidence is slowly starting to increase, and I feel like I'm evolving into the person that I was meant to be all along. It's really great to have such encouraging support around me all the time, and I will continue to do my best! I'm determined to melt away another five pounds this week--so I'll be back in the 170 range! That's a huge feat for me, considering I haven't weighed anywhere in the 170's since my last year of high school! Super excited for that!

Nerdilicious

Techilicious, they all make me go loco!

I NABBED IT! First one in my local Verizon store to get my paws on a Galaxy Nexus! Ohhh the satisfaction! I can't even tell you all how bad I needed a new phone! I am a huge fan of Android and Google. It all makes my life so much easier! Not knocking or talking down to Apple users (unlike LOTS of techies out there), but I really think that everyone should get a phone that works for them--whatever preference that may be!

It feels good to lose 10lbs, and to gain a super gadget!

I'm all about positive reinforcement. Not that we don't all deserve things sometime, but it feels so rewarding and so much better when you work to earn it. I've always considered myself an extremely hard worker. If I ever wanted anything, I would find out how to get it and then work my butt off until I did! Losing 10lbs is AMAZINGLY HARD WORK, but baby it was worth it! 

I'm even more excited in picking out something else for my next reward! I'm thinking by 20lbs, I should reward myself and go on a  super fun vacation. I don't really need to lose another 10lbs to do that, but I'll definitely go all out just because it will be an entirely different experience. 20lbs lighter, and ready and able to have so much more fun on trips---it's hard to believe more fun is possible!

This week has been incredibly amazing and rewarding. My best friend Marissa is heading home from Italy tomorrow, FINALLY! I can't wait to see her, and hear all of her crazy and amazing stories. I'd like to go on a European tour vacation, once my health is at it's peak. I'd like to venture out, go hiking, site seeing and knock some countries off my bucket lists. Rhonda is also making her way home soon, and I'm super excited about that! Rhonda has been on her own journey, I'm glad to have a friend that knows and truly understands what I'm going through. Over all, this week has been one of the best! Lost 10lbs, got a new phone, and all my favorite people are coming home to share the holidays!

Happy 10 to me!

My first reward!

Not that losing 10lbs ins't rewarding enough, I decided a long time ago that I'd get myself a new schnazzy phone! Wouldn't you know I'm just in luck?! I've been keeping my eye on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus forever it seems like. This new kick butt phone is rocking the brand spankin' new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich! Ice Cream Sandwich is the new upgraded interface for Android. For all my Droidies out there, this is the mother load of all mother loads! My HTC Incredible is running 2.3 Gingerbread. I fell in love with Android ever since I picked up this phone. It's super user friendly, and because it's powered by Google all my accounts are instantly synced and has super fun advantages.

My inner geek is unleashing. I'm drooling at just the thought of getting my paws on this phone! The only thing I'm a little worried about is the size. My Incredible is very comparable in size to the iPhone 4, just a wee bit slimmer. The Nexus has a much larger crisp face and a slight curve to the screen. We'll see how well the conversion goes. It was rumored to be released in November, then early December, last week and now Verizon has officially confirmed it goes on sale tomorrow! Shrieks of excitement over here! 

I'm all for finding phones that suite the owners. Unlike super nerdy nerds, I don't discriminate against iPhone or BB users. Who cares. I'm just saying that everyone should find things that work for them. I would lose it, if I didn't have a smart phone. Literally go bat shit crazy. I use my phone for everything. I like to think of it as my "muggle wand". Ha ha, super nerdilicious entry tonight! My local Verizon store opens up tomorrow at 9am, and guess who will be anxiously waiting in her car? That store better be ready, because I am bound and determined to get my hands on one!

Let's just hope that all the research I've been doing has paid off, and the thing actually does come out tomorrow. If all else fails and it doesn't, I can go Christmas shopping instead!
