Weight loss
And then, just like that, reality slaps me in the face
Important note: Yesterday I was all braggy about how I’ve lost 35 pounds since January 1st and I’ve been exercising, blah blah. Apparently this is my punishment for being boastful. Last night was the dress rehearsal for my daughter’s dance recital. Somehow, one of my cousins suckered me into being a “parent-helper” with her. Basically, the 2 [...]

{source} Kate Moss may have been onto something when she says, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”. Don’t get me wrong, I still love nomming on some delicious treats but since I’ve lost 35 pounds (Whoop whoop!!) since January 1, these are the things I’ve been called: You are positively twiggy ZOMG!!! You. Are. TINY!!!!! [...]

This coming Sunday (April 1st) will officially be 3 months since I started working on eating better in an attempt to lose weight. Naturally, I hit a plateau so I added exercise into the mix. I did a post a few weeks ago about my progress and, at 7 weeks in, I had lost 20 [...]

I am not, nor will I possibly ever be an avid runner. But I know that I need to up the amount of cardio that I do (which, as of a few weeks ago was about the level of “My heartbeat speeds up when I watch a scary movie.”) and ever since I made the decision [...]

When I wrote this post about getting healthy and losing weight, I had some thoughts but was having trouble verbalizing. I really want to get to the point where I am healthy. I would love to love my body. I’m hoping that I get there but that is a toughie. I’m not going to point the finger [...]

Last week after what seemed like 2-3 endless weeks of non-stop nomming on all kinds of deliciousness with work carry-ins, Christmas candy that my talented grandmothers made, Pioneer Woman’s cinnamon rolls on more than one occasion, huge breakfasts of biscuits and gravy, bacon, pancakes, casseroles & hash browns . . .

This week I had a goal of 1 pound, drink at least 2 liters of water everyday and to exercise twice. I did really well with the water. And I actually used it to listen to my body. When I was sitting at my desk and I felt “hungry”, I would chug a bunch of [...]
