not "into" posting this morning...will do so this afternoon... After 3 months of waiting, I don't suppose a couple more hours makes a difference.

I'm still here...........just not where I used to be. Alot of things have changed.  I'm going through a minor illness right now that in 6-8 weeks will be settled (again) for another 6 months.  It's a recurring issue that seems to be worse each time.  But that's only another reason for me to have control over my health again.... I'll be back again soon and write more.  For now, I'm just here.

I'll admit it, I feel like I'm in a freefall situation here….Right now work is heavy, the kids are gearing up to gear down for end of school and start of swimming, I'm the computer rep for the Swim Team as well as a Board member, and well, I'm just making excuses…Making excuses to have reckless behavior….I know it, I admit it, and am doing absolutely nothing about it.Each morning I resolve, "NOT

Last night I ran C25K Week 5 Day 2…AGAIN.I ran it originally about a year ago…for the very first time. I remember the elation and then I remember the dread. Dread that the very next run would be a steady 20minutes. The max I had done until then (in my LIFE) was 8 minutes. I think I was worried for the rest of that evening and all the rest day. Then it came time to "do" it. And you know what

I’m bouncing around the same numbers….on the scale that is.  I wouldn’t say I’ve been a failure. I’ve succeeded in doing absolutely nothing….Nothing to harm myself any further.  But I won’t go as far as to say it’s a success right now either. Work is crazy right now.  We’ve got a HUGE tradeshow coming up in 21 days from now.  We do it every two years.  I age 10 for each one I think.  I hate

so let's make it 101 times. Holding steady this week.....173lb.  But not bad for no exercise except for this past Saturday (and I weigh on Sunday). Hoping to get more in this week but work has RAMPED up! Til next time.

It makes me Get Even. After Monday's post, I was obviously feeling sorry for myself.  But holding myself accountable also.Since then I have been to the gym every evening and monitored my food intake and journaled it all.  I've also consciously counted and increased my water intake.  Results?= HECK YEAH!And at this point in time, I needed results.  No matter what they were, just needed them.  What

So if you read my blog yesterday, you noticed that I was a little upset….at the scale, at myself, at no progress.I just wanted to drop a quick note and let you know I took that anger and turned it into determination. I ate well yesterday and went to the gym last night, even though I still feel that it is doing no good……but I refuse to give up. One way or the other, I will do this.Started with

There… I said it. Today I am choosing to wallow. Wallow in self-pity, frustration, anger, failure, and just about any other negative emotion you can think of, I've got. No one can talk me out of it. No one can bring me out of it. Today I want to mumble under my breath, I want to hate everything, I want to be dark and foreboding and think that NOTHING can make it better……………okay, so for the

I can't believe today is March 30th. Where has the month gone? Where is the 10lb loss I was working towards? I'm stuck in a zone and I can't move down. Albeit, I haven't moved up either. So I guess I won't complain. It is hard though, staying motivated when I know I'm working so hard and being so "good" with my eating and food journaling. So I did a difficult thing for me to do last

That's why I haven't posted in a couple days. Instead of just writing about what I want to change about my lifestyle, about me…….I've actually been DOING it! The weekend started off wonderfully! Friday night my SIL came and spent the night with us as she had an EARLY flight Saturday morning. She lives on the other side of town and we live about 10 minutes from the airport, although you'd

I've been reading New Rules of Lifting for Women…..it's "motto" is Lift Like a Man….Look Like a Goddess. My only comment…….only if that Goddess is Venus de Milo (you know the one WITHOUT any arms). Because right now, after putting down the "barbiebells" and picking up the manly weights, I'm ready to just about cut off my arms. But then again, that would require LIFTING something. Something

It took forever to write today. Not because I couldn't think of anything. But rather, I couldn't focus on one thing.This weekend was … there are so many words that I wanted to use… horrid, awful, depressing, disheartening…. Take your pick.But then I decided that's exactly what I've done in the past. Concentrated on the hard part and not the long term. I did my last daily weigh in Sunday. And

As you can tell, all my posts don't deal with losing weight exclusively. And sometimes different topics are unilaterally applicable to various things. Right now, I'm in a holding pattern.With my weight loss, which while is evident from the way my clothes fit (and having to get smaller jeans) and the way I look (everyone has said something) that my best friend and worst enemy, all at the same

FOOD Pizza -Just about any kind from anywhere. Pizza is was my all time favorite food. I wouldn't scarf down a whole one or anything but I could eat close to half if allowed to. Pizza Hut Pepperoni Lovers Thin Crust was my weapon of choice but there's a grocery store around town here that makes an amazing Veggie Pie also. I have since given up the PH pizza and found that the veggie pizza

I saw this over at Tyler's blog and thought it'd be fun. Here's some random useless facts about me.had a job since I was old enough to get a work permit and work—15 years old.bought my first car myself.It was a 1969 Mustang Grande. Blue. Beautiful.The girl around the street loved it too. She paid me 2.5 times what I paid for it one week after I bought it.Took the money and bought a 1969

After a 2 hour marathon cardio session at the gym last night, I was wiped out! My original plans were to do a quick 15 min. warm up; 45-60 min. worth of upper body weight work, 30 minutes of C25K running (week4 day1) running, and a nice long interval bike ride to get the miles up for my previously mentioned Ironman Triathalon Challenge………………so much for plans.Carpooled to campus again with DH.

Headed out of work Friday afternoon with BIG plans…….a good cardio workout and weight training for Friday night. My kids went to a basketball game with a friend (double header actually) and my husband was at work but when he got off, needed to do some studying. So I headed to the gym. First off, I did pat myself on the back a little bit. I would have normally just hunkered down at home with

Dear friends, as you may have noticed, I never cease to entertain myself. In my head, I am a primo comedian. I am constantly chuckling all day at the stupid funny things I come up with. So how come they are never as funny when I put them into writing? I mean, jeessshhhhh, what's with you people? How come you just aren't as tickled as I am? Obviously you are missing your funny bone.

Yep, this morning I am basking in the glow of self-accomplishment friends. Last night I continued my trek by completing the Day 1 workout of Body for Life. I completed the entire Day 1 PLUS 30 minutes running program (week 3 day 1) of Couch to 5K AND 30 minute random interval training on the CrossTrainer.Thoughts on the workout – I don't think I started with enough weights. I did mostly cabled

She wonderfully helps me with any questions I have about eating, working out, weights, cardio….whatever. I should also mention she has been a workout instructor in her "spare" time and for "fun" for many, many, many years. And she does this in a way that is so helpful and non-threatening that I feel

I'm truly disgusted with the lack of common decency between the member of the human race. If your mother, daughter, brother, etc… were starving, needed a ride, wanted a pick-me-up…you'd do it

So I had every intention of getting to the gym lat night by 7pm and getting in about 2.5 hours of good cardio and weights…..Come to find out, my twins started feeling better and DIDN'T want to skip their basketball practice. When I had made my plans, they weren't going, so I had the night at the gym. At 5pm, I had to take a step back and reconfigure the evening. So the kids showed up with dear

Sore throat today….don't feel a lot like blogging..Quickly—this weekend was good. Had plans Friday night, no workout, but ate well for the day. Saturday, busy too, no workout, but ate okay—boredom set in and I let it get me but didn't go over 1500 calories thus the "okay", Sunday was great-hour of cardio and weight training (upper body) with my hubby while kids swam, ate well to boot. I do

So yesterday I detailed my freak out over yogurt. Yoplait Original Strawberry to be exact. I was cool with the 170 calories … after a few minutes of deep breathing … but then when I entered it into my caloriecount account, it told me 15 g of fat! That broke me. I eat a very low fat diet for a variety of reasons. I try to stay around 20 g. per day but ALWAYS stay under 30. So the fat I do

Can I tell you how easily excitable I am? Perfect example...I learned how to post pics in my blog! I'm so proud of myself....too proud.Here's a photo of my hubby and I in Hawaii on the mudbug tour. Everyone else was sitting on the thing, side by side, smiling taking a picture...how Vanilla! LOL.... so hubby and I decided to change it up a little bit.When we got back (2 hours later) and much

No, not this post…….FOOD LABELS!Case in point…this morning as I was leaving the house, I proudly and responsibly picked out my breakfast and snacks for today. The only reason I didn't grab lunch…well, there was a Snow emergency yesterday, thus yesterday's lunch was still safely in the fridge at work…..but anyways…… So I grab me a Breakstones Low Fat Cottage Cheese and fruit Double (apple

If you watch the news, read the paper, listen to the radio…you've heard that the East Coast has recently been pummeled by snow storms. I live in Richmond, VA in the heart of the pummeling zone. Yesterday morning my kids got in their carpool vehicle and proceeded carefully to school (on the OTHER side of town), a light snow was falling, but no accumulation was expected. Uh-huh. On the way to

That would be how I describe myself when it comes down to it. I'm either all in or all out. I probably wouldn't be a great gambler, so it's a good thing I've never been to Vegas. If I'm your friend, then through and through, I'm there. If not, WATCH OUT! I'm loyal to a tee, but give me reason to see you are not, and I'm outta there.That said, I tend to be that way when trying to lose weight.
