New York-New York!!!

As some of you know I took a trip to New York in late September.  It was AMAZING!!!  I got to spend lots of quality time with my NY family especially my 2 cousins Samantha and Brenda.  Samantha is just about to graduate from Vegan Culinary School and I had the honor of attending one of her dinners.  The food was amazing!!  I didn't even notice that there was no meat or dairy products in the food.  Then her brother Josh got married a few days later.  The ceremony was beautiful!!  I again got to spend some time chatting with cousins and meet family members that I had never met before.  It was a whirl wind trip with a tour of Central Park, a Broadway show with  my mom, a marathon shopping trip with Sam and Brenda and of course a trip to an outlet mall on top of all the great family gatherings.  Oh and as the icing on the cake to this great month I jumped on the scale this morning and found that I am down 70 pounds!  According to my diet ticker I'm 19 pounds away from my goal weight.  I'm thinking of adjusting my goal weight from165 to 150.  I'm just getting into a size 14 which I am just thrilled with!  (I tried on a stretchy size 12 dress yesterday and it fit but I know that's because its stretchy.)  Anyway!  That's my life in a nutshell for now!  I'm feeling great and am just trying to get back in to my exercise routine.  Thinking of joining a gym this month.  I'm not sure I can convince myself to run when there is a fresh snow fall.  Here are a few pics from NY trip.

Big final shot from "That's How You Know!" from the movie Enchanted filmed right behind me.
