I feel SOOO much better getting back to eating healthy. Always makes you wonder why it is so hard sometimes to do it. I can definitely tell a difference in my clothes, and I just feel better moving around. Last week I did 3 days of my C25K program and one day of a power walk with hubby. It is a challenge getting the running in due to the time frames I have to work with. It seems to still be a little dark in the morning and gets dark pretty quickly when I get home. If I leave work … [Read more...]

Ok so the new year is just about upon us and this is the time when so many of us make that New Year's Resolution to eat healthy, get in shape, and lose weight. Well guess what folks? I'm right there with you. If you have been following me for some time you will know that since April 2010 I've lost 40 lbs, which was/is a great start but I'm not yet finished. I took a break starting in November to maintain my weight and jump back on after the holidays. I didn't do so well with the … [Read more...]

In my attempt to maintain my current weight loss over all it hasn't gone terrible. I'm definitely having a harder time then I expected to have. My goal was to maintain around 160 through the holidays. I currently at 162, which as I said is not too bad. However though the weight is not showing on the scale it is definitely showing in my figure and clothes.So I've decided to kick back into weight loss mode and see what I can get off before Christmas.

An extremely busy week leaves for a tired mommy. I've exercised when I can and ate to try to maintain, of which I'm very happy with.

October 26, 2010
Another not so stellar week. I believe I'm having a little trouble with the whole run the kids around and stick to your healthy eating habits. However half of the solution is recognizing the problem. As I reflect back on my previous progress I realize that things slowed down and I started having a harder time when the kids began school and the sports started back up. A light bulb went on yesterday as to another major problem I'm having and something I know better not to do. Which … [Read more...]

This week is the dawn of a new me. I am back and 100% committed to the new lifestyle I created. If you were here last week you will remember it was not a great week.Well if you thought I talked about falling off last week then you have no idea about this past week. I don't think I ate a healthy piece of food the entire week, McDonald's, Taco Bell, KFC, you name it I probably ate it at least once. I have no idea where this came from but I can tell you I'm totally sick of it. … [Read more...]

Had such a great week until Saturday evening. I'm not sure what came over me but I had intense cravings for ice cream and chips. Ended up eating chips and skipped the ice cream. Unfortunate for me I didn't do so well Sunday and Monday either. As I always say it is what it is and today is another day. I know I've gained some weight due to not drinking any water, but that will come right back off. I'm terrible when I don't eat well I drink soda instead of water.I didn't feel … [Read more...]

Just in time to shed some pounds before the candy begins a flowing (a total weakness of mine). Had an awesome week with my healthy eating efforts not yet back on the exercise train but with the nice weather we are now having in the mornings and evenings here in South Florida I can hear the faint train whistle. My plan is to … [Read more...]

I thought I was pretty much back on track but boy was I wrong. I did for the most part decent during the week but had another pig out fest over the weekend. So Monday I decided to try to analyze what I think the problem is so I can pinpoint it and fix it. I believe I have two issues they are tied to each other.1. My time management.2. PreparationI think this began when the boys started in with the sports. If you read my post from yesterday you will see I have sports this week … [Read more...]
