Now that summer is over and school is back in I now most of us feel like we can get back into a normal routine.  Honestly for me nothing changes from one week to the next as we homeschool year round and don’t take a summer break, but… I feel everyone else’s sigh of relief […]

Coming home from the conference last week I immediately got sick.  That’s how things work for me after going full steam to get things done.  So this week after not working out much at all I’m excited to say the scale hasn’t budged an inch, in any direction!  You have to rejoice in the little […]

I’m happy to say that I didn’t gain weight this week.  It is always tough when you are outside of your normal routine and eating out more than normal.  Being away for set-up and during the Becoming Conference we had a lot of “off diet” meals like pizza, subs and many other quick things to […]

I confess half way through the week I didn’t know if I was going to have good news to share… This past week my husband and I went away for two days alone.  Not having kids to get up in the morning meant I also didn’t get up and exercise.  So two days off from […]

This past week I worked my tail off on trying to exercise and watch what I ate.  It was a banner week.  I even got up Saturday morning and worked out in the garage (I can’t tell you the last time I did that).  I had 5 good days of exercise and was great about […]

For the last 6 weeks I have been hovering at the same point.  Losing a pound or two then gaining it back, fluctuating back and forth every few weeks.  While I guess I should be glad for the maintaining and not gaining, I’m not to a point where I want to stop losing.  So… I’ve […]

I skipped sharing last week since it was July 4th, but for the last two weeks I did manage to squeak out a 1 lb loss.  I feel like things have slowed significantly from the speed I was losing at the beginning, and the crawling pace tends to lead to discouragement and ice cream.  Lots […]

I seem to have hit a plateau over the past few weeks.  I broke 180 once and after the beach (now 3 weeks ago) I can’t see to get back under it again.  Technically Friday night the scale showed me under at 179.6 however that was after 24 hours with a rough stomach bug so […]
