So yesterday was our 13 year wedding Anniversary!  We stayed home and grilled tuna steaks and had stir fry veggies and brown rice.  Our older daughter decided to surprise us with brownies and chocolate dipped strawberries.  I passed on the brownies and had 2 dipped berries instead.  Yummy! 

I'm all geared up for 12 weeks of Live Fit.  I don't have a gym membership and I'd prefer to keep it that way, for now.  We do live close to a Planet Fitness which is pretty cheap,so I could afford…

Greatttt morning everyone!!! I say great because that's just how I feel today. Although the thunderstorms and pouring rain have hit sunny Miami in a major way, I did not allow it to stop my now morning crunch workout.



So last night I tried my first, REAL, Crossfit class. Five words, "I can't believe I survived!" Whoever created the word intense workout was a slacker because the proper wordage to describe Crossfit would be rigorous. Wanna know what being drenched in sweat while… Continue

I have not made that Dr appointment. Actually I have only been to a Dr once in the last 2 years. I was not raised to go regularly and frankly I don't really want to face that scale number. Isn't that insane? I know what it is, but it feels like if I go, my weight gain isn't my own dirty little secret. That I am a failure. That the Doc will think it is simply a case of overeating not something more serious. I wonder if I could go to…

Well, its been a bumpy road back in the saddle.  All intentions of restarting May 1 fell by the wayside with the unexpected death of my step-father and the crazy aftermath with step-siblings.  Soooo crazy.  But behind me know.

Was suppose to start back walking yesterday, but the rain and a sinus infection pushed us to today.

Still have the sinus infection, can't breath - but I was determined to go walk with my walking buddy who has been patiently waiting for me.  Even though…

Another week down. Another 0.2 pounds gone. Nothing to write home about, but considering that I thought I might gain this week, I'll take it. I had way more important things than the scale going on this week :)

Things I am proud of this week:

1. I ran my first ever 5k!

2. I saw several pictures of myself this week with no double chin! I have always had (and will probably always have) a…

Day three of blogtolose. 

Went for a walk with my sister this morning before it got too hot outside. We went to starbucks and picked up some ice tea and had a nice chat on the way back home. Gym tonight after work! Yay upper body day! Also, had to put new posts up on Rachel Rebelling.  2 blogs are a lot to keep up with. It's a good thing that I have a sassy mouth and a lot to say.

I'm seriously struggling with the eating part of this. All I want is some mother…

This weekend was CRAZY! It was good, but busy and this is the first time I'm getting to get on the computer since Friday. Friday night I went to A.J.'s, then we headed to my parent's house for my sister's birthday. Sunday morning we went on a 5 mile hike on a trail near us. Very tiring! Good exercise though. :) Later that afternoon we went to the winery my sister wanted to go to for her birthday. I love winery atmospheres. It's like the world just slows down a little. So peaceful! After the…

I am going to try to make this far from dramatic and tearful as I do not seek pity nor will I sit here and play the victim. Growing up I was extremely athletic attending competitive cheerleading and gymnastic practices literally 6 days a week for about 2-3 hours each day. Having been able to eat literally whatever I wanted and constantly saying “I don’t understand why people struggle with weight. I eat how I please and stay fit” I found myself in that youthful teenage girl state where my one…

Ok I look in the mirror and am happy with what I see but while out fishing my husband took a picture of me and I was horrified when I saw it. My butt looked huge in my shorts and I looked like I had a fat roll over the top of my shorts. I am so horrified that I almost went to a crash diet. How can I look so different? However that being said last week I said I had lost my drive well I just found it again. My sons graduation this week and swimsuit season is here so I am back on track with my… Continue
