  Hi guys!! I have missed you!
  
  I’ve been so busy lately with vacationing I’ve missed my BB’ers!
  
  So I went to Oregon for a week and stayed 20mins away from Monkeybun and didn’t get to meet her for some unfortunate events occured. SIGH. I was so close to abducting Smudge ….maybe next time.
  
  Now I’ve been on my summerly visit to my grandparents where of course Sailing and Flying have occured. Plus I have an insane tan!!! Mom stayed behind to care for my bunnies!
  
  I don’t know if I told you guys but….I released Rufio my crow I raised. Thank goodness….he was so noisy!
  
  The bunnies are doing great…I don’t know if I told you guys but I was able to trio bond the stinky bink bro’s – Lion and Bagheera to my plushy Velvet! Thanks to Lash giving me that cleaning solution Velvy stopped sneezing and all has been well and they are enjoying their large space together.
  
  Bun has escaped several times into my room with Bee and Indy…there were no injuries it was strange. I walked into my room and she was stretched out under my desk and I was like how the heck did you get out!! So I don’t know if she pulled the door open or if Bumbee or Indy pushed it open. There was some tufts of hair but I guess they were trying to bond without me being there? So that’s my project now. I’m not sure at all why I have put it off…I think I am just selfish and want her to myself. She’s so darn cute I love little Bun and those ears! *swoon*
  
  I guess the most exciting thing though that has happened to me is that I’ve been dieting since March and have lost 30 lbs now. I am 5’9” and didn’t know I had so much to lose to be thin again but I feel so much better and can be in my bikini and feel confident and pretty again. My boyfriend helped a lot by introducing me to kettle bells but it was time to make it happen! It’s really weird seeing my collar bones now and when I look in the mirror how much smaller my face is. I have 10 more lbs to go, I want to get to 130lbs!!! I haven’t been working out while on vacation but it’s time to hit it hard again —vacation is over!!!

  really leaning over to the side here, I was bracing myself lol

  Welcome back! I’m so proud of you for almost having two trios. Yay! I guess Bun got so used to those two that she figured “ehh, what the heck! time to make friends”
  
  I’m also ridiculously proud of you for losing all of that weight! I’ve been trying to get 15lbs off for years now and I’m so horrible at it. Your success is really inspiring for me! I’m about an inch taller than you and I’d die if I ever got to 130lbs – I’d be super happy just to be back at 140lbs. Only 10 to go! What was your eating secret? Did you just eat smaller portions? Or did you try a set “diet”?

  Smaller portions, if I ever was hungry between meals I would drink a glass of soy milk. I basically cut all my meals in half and the weight was just falling off. And the kettle bells works all your muscles over. Check out workouts on youtube “kettle bell workouts for women” they are AWESOME!
  
  -no fast food
  
  -if I go out to eat…I’m ordering salad with light dressing – if they don’t have light then I ask for it on the side so I can control how much I want
  
  -no red meat
  
  -soy milk to take the edge off if I am hungry before a meal
  
  -basically buying anything that can be light or fat free (fat free mayo, fat free cottage cheese, light soy milk, etc)
  
  -special kay cereal
  
  – lots of veggies
  
  Best tip ever for me was…when you are eating…ask yourself “Am I full???” And 99.9% of the time you will be full and you only are continuing eating because it tastes good or people around you are still eating.

  I do really well with breakfast and lunch – I eat small healthy portions, mostly because I eat exactly the same thing every day. I fall off the wagon with dinners and drinking alcohol with dinner. I need some of your motivation! I always say I’m going to eat until I’m full, but so often that goes out the window. You’ve inspired me to keep trying though 🙂

  By the way, tell us more about your sailing and flying! Both look sooooo cool. I’m jealous. Do you have pics of the whole boat?

  Congrats on your double successes of bonding and losing weight. There’s nothing better than self-confidence. You are a very beautiful girl.
  
  Looks like gorgeous scenery there. I adore the sea.

  Thanks everyone!!
  
  I have video from last year when we brought it out of the water and repainted the bottom…holy crud was that a job because of the special paint!!
  
  The plane is actually my grandma’s but she doesn’t fly anymore or sail. She had back surgery and it actually made her worse

  I remember a flying video you posted one time. What a great way to vacation! You look like you had a blast. And you look great too!
  
  Bun! Bun! I love her. It’s funny, I was thinking of Bun before I saw this thread. I was wanting to ask if you noticed any changes in her after the spay? She was over a year old wasn’t she? I forget her age.
