I will be 40 in just over 12 months. I always thought, believed, hoped I would be in better shape and thinner by now. But the truth is I’m not. For the three of you who have been reading my blog for a substantial period of time know that weight has always been an issue [...]
It is no secret around these parts that I struggle with weight and want to lost weight. There is this one problem–I absolutely love food. All food. I enjoy it and I love flavors and textures, etc. I love it all. I have worked hard at “dieting” and counting calories and exercising but have yet [...]
Well, this past week had been much better–weight was dropping off pretty good–but then I met Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Caramels and ate the entire box as I sat on the couch the night before my LASIK surgery. But, I am still down about 6 pounds and well on my way to my goal of [...]
Well, I am a couple pounds closer to wearing a bikini in Hawaii on May 20th. It was a pretty good food week. I worked out 5 days this week and overall, did well with food. My big victory–if one could call it that–was my meal at The Cheesecake Factory on Tuesday. I ate good [...]
So, at the office on Tuesday someone came in to talk to the Dean of the Graduate School (who is my boss) about a doc student who plagiarized their comprehensive exams. This lead into a long discussion about how stupid that was to work so hard for something and then cheat. It just doesn’t make [...]
I am officially down 22. 2lbs in just over 4 months. Working out with my trainer 2 days a week and working hard at eating healthy and watching my calorie intake has also helped. I hate to post about it, as I have done in the past. Because I continually have failed in the past [...]
I am really out of practice these days interms of posting here and in terms of what to even write about. I love my kids, but can only write about them so much. I have been too busy these days to watch the news or keep up on what is going on in the world. [...]
So, I have started another attempt to shed the extra 100lbs I am carrying around. I know, I know. Enough already. But here it goes. I have tried many differet programs and have only half-heartedly followed them for a few weeks here and there. The problem was that none of them forced me to make [...]
At least it is gorgeous weather today–just over 60. It was nice to get outside with the kids and to get some sun on my pale face. Our days around here have been pretty boring–the kids and I go to the gym in the am, we come home for lunch and naps and hang out. [...]
for my iphone. It helped me lose 4.4lbs last week. I am so happy an amazed. I spent the entire month of January exercising and didn’t lose a pound. In 8 days of setting a calorie goal, charting every bite and exercises, I have shed 4.4lbs. I am loving life. While I was happy just [...]
