Rumrunners in Roatan

I was so surprised to step on the scale this morning and see that I have lost over 16 lbs since starting Medifast 2 months ago!

You can go here to read more about my journey to lost 30 before I turn 30 next month.  I don't think I'm going to lose all 30 lbs by early May, but at least the scale is becoming more friendly and not grimacing with pain each time I have to step on it. :)

In celebration of reaching my 1/2 way goal, I ordered a saucy little bikini for our vacation this summer.

My abs may not be in Victoria's Secret model shape (but, then, let's be honest, it never has been), but I'm going to get a tummy tan if it the last thing I do!

We are going scuba-diving in Roatan in July, and I am so looking forward to getting to relax with the sun, sand, and crystal-clear waters. 

I started taking scuba-diving lessons this week through the Dive Shop in Memphis, and I should be certified to dive by early next month. 

The Knight is already certified, and has been diving since he was 15, so it is fair to say that my "dive buddy" is a tad bit more experienced than me.  That is just fine with me, though - I am prone to panic, and if we see a shark, I will definitely want the Knight in the water with me!
We are going to stay at Anthony's Key Resort. 

I have poked around a little on their website, and it looks wonderful!  We are going to stay in little huts with no a/c, so that should be interesting with a baby, but the Knight says it will be just fine, and he has been there before, so I consider him a good authority on the subject. :)  I'm just glad that they have hairdryers and hot water!

I'm sure I will have a ton of vacation prep shopping to do in the months to come, but I am excited (and motivated) by the pending arrival of my teeny bikini!  I just cannot wait to spend the week relaxing with my precious family and soaking up sun and sunsets like this!
