This morning, I waved goodbye to the 60s with another 1 lb. loss. I was so excited, I almost threw my arms around the WW meeting facilitator who weighed me in. For the first time in a very long time, I'm pumped and ready to catapult (ever so slowly) down to my goal weight.

I was feeling good about WI this week and rightfully so - I was down a full pound! Woo hoo! I'm still in the 60s, but only by the hair of chinny-chin-chin (.3). I'll be back in the 50s again next week for sure.

Week one of my weight loss reboot is behind me.

This week I maintained the increase in my WW daily points from 26 to 29. I  added in more intense workouts - specifically the Les Mills Combat workout. Love throwing those punches and kicks! I'm 

sweating like mad at the end of the 2 minute warm…

If you follow me on Twitter (@WorkoutMuzkDiva), then you know yesterday was an absolutely crazy day! It started off pretty "deep," and then went to melt-down status in less than 30 minutes. When I was writing yesterday's blog entry in the mid…

I must be serious. I rejoined the Y at the beginning of the month, and have upped the exercise. Yesterday, I rejoined Weight Watchers. As a lifetime member, and a former leader, I have avoided the meetings like the plague. However, I like the online program and interface, and can access it from my phone. My first goal, set by Weight Watchers, is to lose 5% of my starting weight, so I'm off and running. My weigh-in day is Friday, and I'll stick with that. I'm used to counting points, love the…

Hi, it’s me again…

I am still on my diet, but I haven’t lost a pound! I guess that’s pretty much OK, because I’ve just started and I should not expect too much. Yesterday I’ve read about Phentermine online.That’s the suppressant I am taking now. All reviews are positive, so I believe I’ll see the results soon, as well.

As for now I am on a low-fat diet. Every day I…

There were times, when I hated myself for being overweight. How is that possible? I don’t eat much, there are no obese people in my family and I move, move and move. Then I realized that the problem was not when or how I ate, but mainly what I ate. And this was just the beginning.

Losing weight is hard. That’s the only thing I can tell for sure, and the only thing that comes to my mind. The problem was I…

Greetings and salutations, e-fam. Here I am, just shy of my two week anniversary, and I’m feeling good. This is proving to be the easiest weight loss method I have ever tried, even if it is as old as time - I only allow myself to eat when I am truly hungry and I’m still paying close attention to portion sizes. As a result, I have lost another 6.2 pounds. While I’ll never know how much I weighed when I began my journey, the good news is now I can accurately track my progress.

Today I…

I always felt discomfort because of my excess weight. The only thing I kept dreaming of was to get healthier and thinner, of course. Especially, after I heard about the pills like Adipex. Many people say they are very effective and pretty safe, if taken according to the prescription. I guess, if my diet doesn’t work…

I know it's Martin Luther King Jr. Day today and I'm Black (West Indian-American, if you want to be technical), but I'm feeling rather Italian and Christopher Columbus right now because I "discovered" the secret to weight loss! 

Ok, so it's not really a "secret," it's just more like a seemingly counter intuitive truth that was hard to believe until I actually tried it and "discovered" it to be true.  Take a look at this video I made last Tuesday and then let's…

I woke up on the couch about 20 minutes ago, groggy.

My tongue was extra clingy on the roof of my mouth and felt swollen.

Consciousness and clarity bum-rushed my brain.  Remembrance of my sins the day and night before flooded my mind.

Immediately, I flew off the couch and ran to the toilet.

After expelling fluids that could negatively influence what I was about to do next, I reluctantly dragged out the scale and stepped…

I can not resist a banquet.  I love deserts.  I plan to avoid most of these this season but I had to go to the RRR one last night.  I was looking forward to it all year! Well seriously for the day I used 79 points!  If I want to maintain my loosing streak I am going to have to work really hard this week! Thankfully the debacle was on a Sunday (my weigh in day) so I have all week to get back on track.  My friend is still not talking to me and now its over 4 weeks in a row that with no contact…

I've been studying for my next exam on Monday and it has been truly depressing as I have come to the realisation that I just don't understand a lot of the work, and it is very possible that I will fail. Had a really hard time on Wednesday, just feeling down, not understanding the work and generally feeling sorry for myself. Also did not gym that day which did not help my mood. So yesterday I decided, enough is enough, I must just try keep my spirits up by playing good background music,…

I have a goal… my goal is to lose a dress size before my 30th birthday. This gives me 1 and a half months. It’s ambitious but I hope I can make it happen! So far I have gone to gym 3 times last week and 5 times this week.

My plan is to go to gym every week day, and rest on the weekends (unless I feel super-energetic, in which case I can play it by ear). I am busy writing exams…

I knew my folly at mile two by mile 6 I told a friend to go on without me lol Norm stayed with me but my foot was KILLING me by the end. I am currently ice rolling it. Looks like 1 week off is not enough and maybe my runs will have to be 3 miles or less for a while which makes me really sad. It was WONDERFUL to see so many coyotes (trail running friends) out today seeing your friends makes everything better! The new shoes helped but this injury I think will take a while. I am afraid if I…

Well I have been mia for months!  School has been really time consuming!  I just finished one summer course and I have one that still has a few weeks left.  My family & I just returned from our annual beach-camping trip & upon our return I made up my mind that I was going to get back into this seriously this time!  I know I have been eating whatever I want lately & I'm not happy with the fact that nothing fits!  I need clothes so badly but I'm stuck in the dilemma of not wanting…

The Paleo Diet is working great. I enjoy the natural foods and the easy cooking.

Sometimes it’s so easy to grow weary in the journey. Making great choices daily is tiring. life gets in the way and our ourside committments of work, family, kids, social activities get the best of us and we don’t stop for a second and rest.

God gave us the Sabbath as a day of rest but for many of us, it’s a day to stuff more errands, get more things done. Have you had weeks of non stop activity? How do you feel at the end of those weeks? For  me I become weary, My sleep is normally…

Truth be known, I don’t own a pair of “skinny jeans”.  And by “skinny jeans”  I don’t mean the super tight, second skin versions, I mean the jeans a size or  two smaller than  I what wear regularly and make me feel skinny and confident when I put them on.  Really looking at the size of the waistband on my pants I think it would just be misleading to say there is anything “skinny” about any of them.  But that’s ok, I’ve accepted that, and I’m changing it.  I will be able to wear pants that I…
