About Me:

"Yesterday I dared to struggle. Today I dare to win." (Bernadette Devlin)

What you need to know, want to know, and some stuff you probably don’t care to know!

Hello! My name is Jacki and I live in Central VA. I grew up outside of our Nations capital but because Washington, DC has always been my backyard I tend to take it for granted. For Ex: I have lived here FOREVER and never been in the Washington monument?? Go figure.

I am a 29 year old mother of 2 beautiful girls. A preteen and a 5 year old. I have been married to my high school sweet heart for 5 years and he absolutely ROCKS! I work full time outside of my home, and have a part time job that I tend to neglect. Needless to say I have ZERO spare time. When I am not working, I am cooking, cleaning, checking homework, carpooling to music and dance lessons, and playing preschool teacher to the youngest so she will be prepared for Kindergarten. I absolutely love to read so when I do get a spare moment you will catch me curled up with a book.

I have been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember. I
don’t ever remember feeling comfortable in my skin, or with
myself. Looking back at pictures of myself when I was younger I wasn’t
fat at all, but I was always stocky, and I probably always will be. I
had my first child young (too young) and eventually Stocky turned into
Obese. This blog is about changing the way I look at food, changing bad habits, and bettering myself.

If I pick up a few new friends along the way, well that will be nice too!

Whew. Busy busy last couple of days!

First. I want to thank all of you that commented on my last blog post. I was feeling overwhelmed that day and your support and kind words helped.

Friday the youngest DD was sick. She had hives from head to toe, her throat was swollen and so were her hands and feet. Turns out she had a bad case of strep. So the last few days have been spent at home taking care of her and spending time with my family.

I weighed myself yesterday and am down 4.4 lbs this week! YAY! Only 4 lbs away from ONEderland!… Continue

some good, mostly bad

yesterday sucked. plain and simple. work was crazy from the moment i arrived here at 5am until i was able to sneak out at 3:30. I was able to eat my planned breakfast of YUMMY fiber one cereal and skim milk. and then the next thing I know its 3:30 i am running out the door to go home and I am STARVING! The kind of starving where you have a headache, you are nauseous, and you are so consumed with finding something to shove in your mouth.

That's when I start making justifications and excuses to m… Continue

Anyone gotta match??

Success isn’t a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire. ~Arnold H. Glasow

I was thinking about what goals to set for myself this week. This is what I came up with:

1) Plan my menu for the remainder of the week

2) Journal EVERY day

3) Drink 8 cups of water a day AT LEAST

4) Exercise twice

I am setting the bar pretty high for myself. This may not seem like a lot to you, but for me… miss willy nilly, fly by the seat of my pants, it’s a lot to commit to. Here’s… Continue

Blogged and lost!

YAY! I weighed in yesterday at 207.7 that’s down 4.3 lbs! This is totally what I needed to stay motivated this week. I didn’t do much tracking over the weekend, but I kept it under control. I still get the sense that had I tracked I may have lost more but I will take what I got. No complaints here. I need to set some goals for the week. I will be back in a few to post them once I figure out what they are.

I am pleased to say that last weeks goal was met. I planned my meals last week Breakfast t… Continue

I don't have a goal weight yet. I think I'll make my next blog post about why exactly that is :)
