Profile Information

About Me:
I am 37 year old mom of a wonderful 6 year old son! I am 5'3" and am the definition of a yo-yo dieter. I just realized at 35 that I can not be on a diet. I have to try to have some type of control over my eating, make healthy choices and exercise for the rest of my life. I have done almost every weight loss plan known to man: nutri-system, the grapefruit diet, low carb, hypnotherapy, weight watchers, etc. Weight Watchers is my go to plan of choice but I sure wish I had all of that money back!!! I do like to exercise. I love boot camp and interval training. I have completed 18 half marathons and 1 full marathon. I do not love running but I do love the feeling of finishing and having an amazing meal. My greatest goal is to stop this game of losing 10-20 pounds and gaining 10-20 pounds every few months. I want to learn to maintain. I so look forward to sharing ideas and getting inspiration. Weight loss can be such a lonely journey and I look forward to making connections, offering support and learning to be the best I can be.
Plan of Choice:
Weight Watchers

Holding Pattern

It is the end of a pretty busy week that started with a holiday weekend full of indulgence. I am pleased to say I only gained .4 - if you can ever use pleased and gain in the same sentence. However, I am now the same weight I was on June 17. I have only fluctuated .8 of a pound in 4 weeks -again if I was in maintenance this would be awesome but I still need to be losing. BUT, I am not going to sweat it or over obsess. I have too much going on in the next 2 weeks and I can't afford to go into a t… Continue

Learning to go with it...

It seems like forever since I left a post between the holiday weekend and crazy work schedule. I had a great 4th with beautiful weather, yummy food, good times, and I am proud to say 3 vacation mornings in a row of at least 30 minutes of running/walking.


Now I am back at work with a VERY crazy 2 weeks ahead of me. I was heading home on Monday and I started to get so anxious about all that is going on with travel, presentations and meetings.


I am heading

Up and Down and All Around

That is how my thoughts have been lately. I had a busy weekend with friends from out of town. I went overboard on food but got myself back on track Monday. The only issue the past 2 days has been afternoon/pre-dinner snacking. I was in a 2 day retreat for work and I brought my snack and lunch. I did great but then kinda blew it with snacking when I got home. I am still glad I was prepared and brought my own food.


My teeter totter of thoughts are:

Power of Positive Thinking

Yesterday was a pretty good day until the afternoon. I did not go too crazy but it was that get home late, hungry, don't want what I fixed, who cares about my weight, let me shove in some goldfish crackers, a piece of cheese and glass of wine moment. Still grilled the tenderloin and asparagus. The asparagus was yummy - it was the really super thin stalks and I had

Hi Heather! It's been forever! The site disabled my page for some reason and they just recently fixed the problem to enable my page. I hope you are doing well. As for me, still on the weight loss/gain roller coaster. Hanging in there. :-D
