You probably already guessed that 17 is the number of school days left in the year. My colleague tried to argue with me today that it was better to add in the weekend days also because it's more realistic. Um....what? Who would even think that that makes any sense...like...at...all....

It was a good day today overall and that's about it. I thought excessively all day about wanting to wake up every morning and not have regret from the day before for overeating or drinking or whatever.…

I'm taking a class on the website Craftsy on fitting clothes for plus sized women. In the second lesson, it was recommended that we have a dressmaker's dummy or dress form to help with the fitting. We had a couple of options, a messy one that involved craft tape, water, a tight-fitting tee shirt and a willing friend, or take our existing double and pad it. I picked Option #2, because I have a dress form. No, it doesn't fit me anymore, but I figured with padding it would.

I started by…

So this feels life the first day of the rest of my life!  I ate breakfast the only real difference being that I had to add 2 more egg whites to the mix.  It also says unlimited veggies at breakfast, but I also had 1/2 a banana and that's not on the list.  I could have egg whites & veggies but then what starch?  I'm not sure if it is a problem that I don't typically have veggies at breakfast....thoughts and ideas of what other Life Fitters are planning on doing?  I'm sorta confused…

Quick post before work!

Still no diagnosis on the car trouble. I'll be taking another car today since it's available. I'm SO hoping it's a cheap fix.

 

Yesterday turned into "get prepared for Live Fit" day! I printed out all the documents I'll need for phase 1, organized a binder with the recipes from the site, and put in the "approved list" of things to have. I plan on following this exactly; at least in the beginning. I know this is a plan for the masses and…

Leaning Tower of Pizza



The hardest part of a diet is when you are faced with the challenge of being around others who aren't and get to eat pretty much whatever they want. I faced my challenge last night. Wanna know if I passed? Well read on and find out.



I had a meeting and my good friend stopped by being accompanied not only by her husband but my best friend Little Caesars. In their hands they carried 2 boxes of pizza, one thick crust drenched in the best smelling cheese… Continue

Well today is our weigh-in day at work for our biggest loser contest and I finally had a decent loss I am down 2lbs!  I feel pretty good about it, I have stepped up my activity and workouts but know I can push myself much harder.  I am a little worried because I am at the number again that I just can't seem to get past, I don't know if it's self sabatoge or my body doesn't want to get any lower but everytime I see 165 on a scale it's just for a day or so and then it's back up again : (  .  I…
