I didn’t post last week as I had no scale and was pretty sure the number wasn’t going to be so pretty…  I like to eat, that’s probably not a surprise and I really enjoy food with my family.  So, vacations with family and food are a tricky place to stay on a diet.  It […]

    I am still on cloud nine that I pushed through and met my first baby goal of hitting 179 before the beach.  To treat myself I splurged in a not so splurgy way and got a spray tan that I mentioned a few weeks ago.  Many of you said to go for it, and then […]

      This week I finally hit the big 20!  Excuse me while I take a second and do a little dance… For years I would always think, “Man it would be great to lose weight before ____” but the weeks would go on and I’d make a bunch of excuses with no progress at all.  This […]

        These past few weeks have gotten me out of my routines and today on the scale that shows.  I’m up 1.5 lbs, and while I’d like to blame it on other things (you know the excuses we all use) I need to just suck it up and accept that I haven’t exercised as much or […]

          While I’m still losing, this week I’ve been struggling with still not being content where I am.  Sometimes it’s really easy to look in the mirror and not like what it shows but forget the big picture of what it once was.  Mirrors just aren’t that encouraging.  Mirrors in a department store… even worse. We […]

            It feels like it was just Monday, this week has flown by.  I was only at home for one day this past week, so I’ve only checked in on the scale once.  It didn’t show any changes from the previous week and I’m not too surprised since I’ve been eating on the go a lot.  […]

              Remember all those folks who insisted you need to eat breakfast before a test, or even better all the Total cereal commercials of the 1980’s?  I have been realizing lately just how right they all were.  My day can be made or broken just based on how breakfast went.  Skipping breakfast isn’t a problem I’ve […]

                I feel like doing a dance every time the scale goes down.  Yes, I get a little excited even about 1/3 lb and yes I may track it every time.  This week the scale started moving again and I think that’s entirely to my not stopping moving all week.  My big girls and I ran […]

                  While I won’t say I fell off the wagon this week, I will admit that it was a hard week.  I gave in a few times and had treats with the kids that probably I should have passed on, and with traveling a portion of the week for workshop classes I missed exercising numerous days. […]
