My wild and Crazy Vacation that I a set a new goal for!!!

I have a wonderful friend that lives in Washington DC.  My friend from high school and I are going to Washington DC to visit the 2nd weekend in June.  The gay pride festival is going on.  We have been told that we will be on a float in the parade and at several parties over the weekend.  Wouldn't know that the float has a beach theme.  Swimsuits!!  First off, I will not wear the current suit that I have now, I call it my moomoo skirt suit!  Second off, I am not wearing a swimsuit in front of that many people!  My luck I will end up on the news on in the newspaper.  So, I set a new goal: 50lbs in 3 1/2 months.  I don't want to set an unrealistic goal, so I talked to one of the personal trainers today.  She said that I can do it but it wont be done the healthy way, and I will be miserable.  I was also told that realistically I should loose 2 lbs a week.  She suggested  a goal of 25lbs.  I will need to spend at least an hour in the gym every day.   That is not a big deal, I am usually there for two hours.  Today I bumped it up to three hours.  Two in the pool, finning, running, and working my upper and lower body.  I then did an hour of Zumba.  It's time to step my work outs up a notch!!!
Third round of injection was on Tuesday.  My right knee aches a little bit from my Monday's work out but other than that: I am doing fabulous!!!!!  I am doing so good that they start the injections on my left knee March 1st.
Over all I feel fantastic!  With a new goal in place I really have something to work forward to.
111 days until vacation!!!

Round 2

I had my second injection this week. I have very little pain in my right knee. I have some aching but nothing intolerable.  It could also be that I was able to do Zumba twice this week.  My left knee now hurts more than my right.  Yay!  I did get my hopes crushed a little!  I was hoping the stiffness that effects some of my mobility would go away with these injections but the Dr. said that it wouldn't.  I am hoping with working out and losing weight will help with that.  I am also thinking about trying yoga and stretching it out.
I have been doing awesome at the gym.  I am almost up to working out every day.  Monday I did an hour of Zumba and an hour of finning.  Tuesday I did an hour of Zumba.  Thursday an hour of finning and an hour of aqua power. 
I have been feeling great, I have had more energy, not sleeping as much.  I even put on a pair of jeans that were tight and they ended up being enough that I needed a belt to hold them up.  What a wonderful feeling!!!!!
Total -10lbs

Round 1

Tuesday was my first injection!  I was soo nervous, I had talked to someone at aqua power that said that it would hurt for the first couple of minuets and then I would be fine.  I did hurt for a minuet, it was a burning pain.  I was able to walk out with no problem.  My knee felt weird for the next couple of hours.  It was squishy.  I was really bummed when they told me that I would feel the full effect of the injections until I have received all 3.  I was hoping for instant relief.
I made it to finning on Monday and Tuesday night.  I stayed and did aqua power on Thursday.  I am back out to the gym on Monday night again for Finning.
I have a made a promise to myself.  When these injections take away my pain, I WILL BE AT THE GYM EVERY DAY!
