Oh my. There was a glow party at my school last Friday. It replaced the beloved Sock Hop- since the people who hopped in socks are now the grandparents, the sick hop was confusing. It was funny to watch the little second graders dressed up in their tie dye and hippie skirts or neon workout … [Read more…]
It’s kind of fun to look at my numbers a different way. Today I was watching The Biggest Loser and they were talking about total percentage of weight lost. I got to wondering- would I be a contender? Turns out that I wouldn’t have won anything, but 38% definitely would have put me in the … [Read more…]
It’s been quite the weekend. The rain, OH the rain, how it fell. The wind blew a lot, so we went to the park to fly kites during the few moments the sun peeked through… Despite that I still managed to get out to run in it twice, to do the hill twice. In fact, … [Read more…]
It is the four day weekend and I am loving it. It’s so fun to arrive to Sunday night and not have to do ANYTHING to get ready for a work week. *my daughter thinks wearing a sports bra and capris is a super cool exercise look and begged me to don this number so … [Read more…]
Just a taste of my Valentines’ Day. The pictures were my valentines to my kids- they each got a Valentine themed lunch or snack, which they were both nuts about, and coupons intended to let us spend a few moments together. My son immediately got the foot rub taken care of. He loves coupons like … [Read more…]
Today I came home to see that I finally broke past 210. I feel like it’s been ages, after the Christmas debacle, but I’m back on track! Yeah for warrior week! I’m feeling much better. I slept like a person in surgery last night- ridiculously deep. I used the meditations as I crashed out and … [Read more…]
I’ve been struggling over the past couple of days with anxiety. It’s so silly, thoughts will grab ahold of my brain and just hold me hostage. Something will happen- a conversation or interaction of some kind and I can’t get it out of my head. I once saw a meme that said something like: “Remember … [Read more…]
I don’t know about you, but when I work out on stationary exercise machines, I like to allow myself to watch pretty much anything I might like through netflix, amazon or hulu. And I mean anything. I’m talking the extreme guilty pleasure stuff stuff that I would hate to watch with anyone else, like American … [Read more…]
I’m so happy to report that this morning I awoke to find myself weighing in at 210.8! I’m finally back at the weight I saw on December 24th. You would think I would have learned my lesson in 2012 when I gained 20-something pounds and had to spend the next several weeks burning it off. … [Read more…]
What is ‘this?’ When the scale starts to trend in the right direction. A few days ago I was freaking out because I weighed 217- a full two pounds higher than my diet bet weigh in! Back at 212 though. Phew. That feels better! Now to continue the trend… Maybe this time I can make … [Read more…]
