Savvy with Abbie

From the time we left Utah the early morning on October 15, 2015, I had major anxiety. I had a few cases of bad luck (car accident last week and someone stealing my card information) leading up to this trip, which was a free trip from my work (Thank you SH!) but honestly, once I got on the plane, I was so excited.

On Monday August 24, I went to the doctor and she said the scale cannot go up. I have been working hard at losing weight. I weighed in at 153lbs at the doctors office. Mid-October I will be going to New York and for my birthday in December, I will be going to Hawaii. I want to look good and feel good by the time those days come.
