About Me:
For as long as I can remember my weight has been an issue for me. As the years have gone by and the weight has packed on it has actually affected the way that I live my life and the things that I do. Which, the more I think about it, is pretty sad on a lot of levels.

About two years ago I lost a significant amount of weight by following the Weight Watchers Momentum plan. Although I loved the way I looked and felt I began to form some pretty unhealthy habits as a means to eat way too much but still see a loss at the scale each week. It took me over a year to accept that this just wasn't going to work that way and that it was time to move on from that craziness. I ended up swearing off Weight Watchers and searching for a new program that would give me the same successes I had while working the Weight Watchers program. I had no luck and I just kept on gaining weight. One Friday afternoon my officemate asked me to attend a Weight Watchers meeting with her and just as quick as that I was back on track and loving it.

I think I just needed a break. :)

Looking Forward To 3 PM

Since that is when my work week will officially end. :)
And let me tell you ~ I am ready for the weekend!!!

I've been thinking of some ways to make smaller changes in my daily routine to help with adding in the healthier food, less take out, and more exercise. Part of my problem is that I always try to change everything all at once and then quit when I can't keep it up. Maybe changing a little bit here and there I will have more success.

Not Quite The Super Week I Was Planning On

Eating-wise that is. I've eaten out a lot more than I have wanted to. Basically I've eaten breakfast out once, lunch out every day at work, and dinner out once so far. I already know that I'll be eating out at least once (maybe twice) on Saturday. That's too much! All that eating out while only managing to get one lonely mile workout in.

The rest of the kid free week has been pretty darn good ~ although I am anxiously awaiting their return! This morning when I talked to the girl child… Continue

Looking Forward To Having A Great Week This Week

It's really kind of funny, but for some reason I woke up this morning looking forward to having a great week this week. It should be an easier week for me because the kiddos are away at the lake with their grandparents for the week ~ which I love and hate at the same time ~ I mean who wouldn't love the opportunity to be kid free for a week ~ BUT at the same time I really do hate when they are away from me. And they really are away. Like two hours away. Here's hoping the girl child doesn't get

Does Ice Cream Count As Take Out?

If it doesn't, then I didn't have take out yesterday.


If it does, then I did.



I am pretty proud of myself either way because I avoided take out at lunch (mostly because my office mate was out for the day and I wanted to leave early). I also avoided take out at dinner even though the husband wanted to go out and then refused to eat what I cooked for dinner in protest! Can you believe that? It's true. He also started in with the let's order pizza chant around 8 p.m. but I

I did use Weight Watchers the whole time, experimented with some low carb while still doing points, but it made me punchy... I love me some carbs! Thanks & Cheers to you~

Hey Lynn! Thanks for your enthusiasm on my new project to cut food expenses! I'm on vacation right now and I actually can't wait to get back so I can get started. Super Target is like a Target with a grocery store attached. It is the absolute bomb for one stop shopping. They seem to be getting more and more traction so maybe there will be one near you soon!

Hey Lynn! About the counting calories, I only eat 1500 calories or less. Thats what people I know have done and its working for me. But a lo of it is portions, and that was one of the main reasons why I gained weight..so it is really working out for me. I might go down to 1200 calories but they say women shouldn't go any lower than that. And the way I keep track is if its packaged I look at the serving and then write it down just like WW only write down the calories. And I also got a calorie counting book at Walmart, or the website calorieking.com. Hope that was helpful:)

Hey Lynn! Thanks for welcoming me back! It's good to be back. Now I'm going to catch up on your blog and see what you've been up to these past 45 days! :-)

Hi Lynn. It will get easier with each passing day. That's what I finally am learning. It is hard. I hate when I get on the scale and don't see what I want to. But getting on there & seeing where I am gives me a plan. I re-focus. Let me tell you, that first bit of time when nothing was happening was so damn hard. But I told myself give it 90 days, 90 days and if I see nothing I quit! And things did turn around. So you just keep it up. One day at a time.

Thanks for the comment! I also lost a lot of weight on WW a while back but managed to stop once I reached my goal. Now I'm trying it again. I think one of my biggest mistakes was not keeping up with my journal. I'm a number person, it's the only way I saw how e/thing was adding up %) Keep on the good fight!

Lynn I'm not sure what time I was the other evening - it's 21.55 here now so maybe you are behind.
