Today was just insane. I slept in because I worked out so late, but I had so much to do, homework, studying, cleaning, laundry, ect. I just never really slowed down. Around 7 my son jumped off the couch and landed on his chin on the hard wood floor. He split it open. =( I took him to the ER and waited for about 1.5 hours and then he was seen. 2 hours and 5 stitches later he was all better. My poor baby, but he was so brave. We finally got home and it was late so bedtime was messed up and now…

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  The husband rushed home yesterday to get a couple of days home before taking off again on Tuesday!  Of course, it's been less then 24 hours since he's been home and the formerly clutter free house is all cluttered up!  Ahhh, I'm fighting a losing battle against clutter with The Husband on the clutter side.

Did good this weekend; went for a run yesterday & took the dog (& whole family) for a walk.  Did pretty good on the food front,…

I’m glad I decided to wait and post tonight. If I had written this earlier this morning you would have read a completely negative pissed off post. So here goes…today was WI day. I ate all my servings of fruits and veggies each day as well as met my water goals, I monitored what I ate all week skipping pizza night, movie theater popcorn (twice) yummy crispy on the outside soft and chewy on the inside rolls (twice) AND I went to the gym 5 days this week. So needless to say I was expecting a…

Today was my rest day on the exercise schedule. They say those are important, or your muscles don't have a chance to recover and rebuild. I don't know if only one rest day a week is enough, but I don't do cardio every day and I don't do weights every day, so it's probably fine.

The problem with rest days is that you can't also take a rest day from dieting. In fact, since I didn't really burn any extra calories, I should have eaten more healthfully. But did I? No. I'm around 300…

It's been awhile since I updated anything on here, I occasionally pop up and check on things but finding the time to post has been difficult.  I wanted to update everyone that 2 weeks after I started with my personal trainer I weighed in and I was down 12lbs of fat, gained 2lbs of weight and lost 4% body fat which is AMAZING!! my trainer almost didn't believe it, he had to jump on the scale to make sure that everything was right, he was in complete shock he kept saying wow over and over…

I was 188.6 at the beginning of the week.  I did well through the whole week from Monday-Friday afternoon.  Friday evening I drove to my parents.  Then I ate there all weekend.  I weighed in on Saturday at 187.5!  A loss of 1.1 lbs.  It's fantastic.  Tomorrow I'm going to start back on track with my eating again.  Like I said before I'm just going to try to count everyday I'm on track as a victory instead of everyday in a row. 

Hey everybody!

We all need to support each other.

I weighed in this morning and I have dropped another 1.5 pds. I am happy with that. I went skating for the 1st time in 6 yrs yesterday and it was a lot of fun. I think I may start doing that a couple times a month it was definatly a leg workout. i am off to watch a movie with the hubby. My daughter is making supper which is nice. So I am off to relax. Have a good day everyone.

I have never talked about how much I weighed in the beginning of my journey-My journey started 3 years ago-I felt like my life was over-I was way over my head -I felt like I could not lose weight no matter what I did-I gathered up all my courge and joined a hospital program-and for one year I cried-I lift weights -I talked to the people there and I lost at the end of one year 10lbs and something like 80 inches-I felt better and looked alot better-but I was not ready to "give up my addiction…
