I saw this article and thought many here would find it interesting. I agree completely with the protesting parents. Sending the message to little kids that unfilling, processed convenience foods are superior to homemade foods is shameful at best. What do these kids learn ot… Continue

I had such a great run today. I didn't think so at first because I was feeling tired, and not really feeling well today. But I only get to run outside on the weekend and I really wanted to go. I'm so glad I did. I managed 5K and averaged 10.52 per mile. So proud of myself. :-) I used to do a mile in 16 minutes or more so this is huge for me. I'm happy with my progress and happy with where I'm at with running for right now.

My two main goals for this week are:

1. to exercise at least 30 minutes a day. I want to wake up early in the morning to do this whether I go for a jog or I go to the gym

2. stop nibbling or eating mindlessly. Those nibbles add up eventually.

Two goals that have been really hard for me to accomplish. This week is my time to shine...I see a bright future ahead of me if I can commit to these goals. I can do this...no more excuses Ideanna.

Week #11, Day #7(Day 80 of 365 – gained .2 lb) Total loss 10.6 lbs, 41.4 to go! I can't seem to stop banging my head against the wall. I am not where I want to be with my weight today, but I know I can get there. I am preaching to myself this mo

I've started reading Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribole, M.X., R.D. and Elyse Resch, M.S., R.D., F.A.D.A. Right now finding time to read it is the hardest thing. I was going to finish the book and then launch into the journey. Partly because I wanted to know what I was doing before I started doing it but mostly because I was hoping to be at my goal weight. As I was reading I was also sitting in McDonalds. The book was just saying that I couldn't keep putting my faith into one l

Alright so I guess I'm back but it isnt day one, it's day day 7! thats right I've been doing it for seven days already and I really feel like this is my time. I'm going to be 22 in April and I really cant stand being this weight; I havent had soda in a week and I dont even miss it, I've been drinking LOTS of water and its a good thing that I LOVE water. I havent been like obsessively counting my calories just kind of keeping track, which is usually around 1500-1700 a day. But I've been doing rea… Continue

Well, it's Sunday, so that means time to weigh in! 241 now, with a 2 pound loss this week and a total of 42 pounds gone. Whoopee!! I'm heading for the 50 pound mark now :-)

I was right about that number on the scale being a wee bit inflated yesterday. This morning I weighed at 170.2, down 2.6 pounds since yesterday. Right now I'm starting day 2 of the detox/spring cleaning/re-energizing of healthy habits and that means I'm on day 2 of a KILLER headache, but that's to be expected. I always have pretty rough sugar withdrawal symptoms and I think it'll be gone by tomorrow. Since you're not really supposed to take over-the-counter meds on the detox, I'll just have to w… Continue
