Yay, my cousin called me yesterday and she won a trip to Cancun. She was top sales and gets to go to Cancun for the awards ceremony and wanted to know if I wanted to be her guest. No charge, completely FREE. uhhh, let me think about this, Free trip, all you can eat and drink, on the beach resort, uhhh, hell yes! So, I leave for all inclusive trip to Cancun for 4 days on April 23rd! Yay!

This gives me some motivation to keep exercising and lose more weight. I think I can lose 5 more pounds by then. Its a little over 5 weeks away I think. I might be able to lose more, but I'll take 5!

The resort we're staying at is called the Cancun palace and its a 5 star resort with all the luxeries you can imagine. I'm getting a seaside massage, under an open-air palapa! Thats what I call WONDERFUL! All drinks and food are included. And they have a state of the art gym, so I'm telling myself now, just because I'm on vacation, no reason not to exercise! So, I'm planning on exercising while i'm there too.

Anyhow, I'm excited, can you tell? My cousin first asked her mother to go, but her mother has no desire to go, then she asked her husband, but he recently had surgery on his shoulder and he hates the sun. So even though I was her third choice (lol), I am totally pumped over it!

Now, on the exercise note, I set the alarm this moring, and I could've gotten up, but my body was just worn down. I have not been getting in bed until after 11, and getting up 3 or 4 in the morning. I could feel how worn out it was, so I decided to go back to sleep. I tell you, its just what I needed. I feel so much better today and so much more energy this morning that I haven't had in a long time. So I'm glad I didn't get up this morning. I plan on going to the gym after work, and I will get back up tomorrow morning, but for today, I needed the rest, so no guilt about sleeping in.

I stayed off the scales, but will probably weigh tomorrow morning. I put on my size 10 jeans and they are actually a little loose. hmmmm. Maybe inches are melting?

Last night, we had our meeting at church, came home, and I had recorded the Biggest Loser, my friend came over (she lives around the corner) so she could watch the Biggest Loser. So we were very mad at the end of the show when it said "To be continued...." Grrrrrr.

Next week, I think I'm going to have her come over on Wednesday nights and we'll watch it then. Getting home at 9:30 on Tuesday nights,then trying to watch the show, puts me in bed toooooo late.

Well, looks like I'm a chatter box today, but I'm just so excited, Cancuun, my clothes feeling loser, I feel skinnier, and I have energy today!

Gotta get to work......
