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’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…]
I am staying within my goals. I have worked out every day this week and I’ve been making smart food choices. Guess who weighed in at 213 today? Uh huh! Oh yeah! Tam-ah-RAH! That’s four pounds gone since I started diet bet. Sigh… It feels so nice to work hard and see results like that. … [Read more…]
