Sounds like you had a great time yesterday. I like your healthy thinking and moving forward with a great week ahead of you!

It's okay that it's up because that isn't going to derail me from continuing with a healthier lifestyle. But living healthier isn't going to deter me from living life and having a good time either. Sounds like you found the balance. :) I love the r…

A Little Bit About Me




I am a well rounded person that loves people, most especially family and friends. I am easy going, fun to be around. I am very sensitive. I have learned to try and put "me" first, that took me a long time to learn as the needs of others often came before my own. This enables me to be a happier person and in turn I am able to take care of my family and friends. I am a wife and a mother of three beautiful children; a boy and two girls.

I have been trying to lose weight since my late twenties, after the birth of my first two kids. I have been yo-yo dieting ever since trying everything under the sun. I had successes, but not too long afterwards the weight would eventually creep back on.

I started my weight loss journey in January of 2006. At that time I had 46 pounds to lose. I lost 29 of those 46. I was so ecstatic as I had not been under 150 pounds in I can't tell you how long, and I actually made it to 140 pounds. Because I was feeling so good, I wasn't as careful or as on plan as I should have been so I put back on 17 of the 29 pounds I lost after a year. So here I am in June of 2009 (that's when I started again) ready to get back to my lifestyle change because Weight Watchers really works as long as you stay on plan. I don't know why I veered off into the wrong direction because I never felt hungry or deprived while following the plan. But I'm back, and it's okay that I fell off the wagon because I'm on it again.

I look forward to getting to know many of you, and as always, thanks for stopping by. :-)

Chocolate Affair (147.8)

The scale is up today, but this is a gain I can live with because in this case I KNOW why it's up. And that's okay! It's okay that it's up because that isn't going to derail me from continuing with a healthier lifestyle. But living healthier isn't going to deter me from living life and having a good time either.



I went with my mother and my daughter's to a local event called the Chocolate Affair. And I'm sorry, you don't go to the Chocolate Affair (or any fair I suppose) to fin

I'm on fire! LOL! (146.6)

I went running again this morning with my cousin and ran 3.8 miles! Woohoo! I walked about 5 minutes of it for warm up and cool down - but ran the majority of the trail. God that felt so good. I have a 5K coming up on the 20th and I'm gearing up for it. The Nike + put me at an average of a 12.08 pace per mile, and that includes the walking portion.



There is a Chocolate Affair today in Downtown and I'm going with the family. Luckily for me I like chocolate, but I don't LOVE choc

Outside Run - Glorious (146.6)

I went running at the park this morning with my cousin. It was so great. LOVE, love, love being outside. My cousin hasn't been running long either, and she did awesome. And she was so impressed with me - made me feel good. I'm fourteen years older than her; she has youth on her side and I managed to stay ahead of her. :-D



The Nike + voice came on and said it's the first work out where I burned the most calories - 208 for 2.12 miles.



My cousin wanted to go to brea

Feeling BLAH

(148)



I am so unmotivated right now - I just can't even begin to tell you. I was supposed to run last night, and skipped it. Just wasn't in me and I figured why bother because it would have been a crappy run anyway.



The tracking, eating and water are still on track. That's a good thing.



I'm looking forward to the weekend so that I can run outside - I really enjoy that

I'm UP (148.4)

Today is my official weigh in day. Up 1.2 pounds - not sure why. As per my post yesterday I've been maintaining a fluctuation of 1-3 pounds for months now. And even though I wanted to be in loss mode, I was happy I was at least maintaining. And now, here I am, doing what I'm supposed to be doing and I saw what I call a "true" gain. A true gain because I haven't seen 148 anything in quite a while. So I'm bummed out.

I'm bummed out because I feel like here I am making the effort and no reward. At… Continue

Thanks for the comment Jeannie! I think sometimes we just don't like to come to the logical/right decision by ourselves and need to hear it from someone else. :-)

Thank you! It was a great run, I impressed myself! :) I had a Zune but invested in an iPod Nano just so I could get Nike+, it was totally worth it for me. I love it! I found an inexpensive refurbished Nano on amazon.com.

Hi Jeannie! Thanks for your support. I bet you are going to have a great WI on Sunday as well. Just go in there and let that scale know who is in charge! So much easier said then done. Have a GREAT weekend and I will look forward to hearing how you made out on Sunday.
