Profile Information

About Me:
I have been a member of Blog to Lose since October 2008 and a follower of Roni's Weigh since July 2008. I started my weight loss 'journey' the summer of 2008. This year has brought great change: weight loss & healthy choices, as well as I just got married (July 11, 2009). My aim is to maintain the healthy changes I have made and continue exercising.

This lifestyle change has made it possible for me to realize that I am a strong and powerful person. !

News Years' Resolution Goal: 155lbs

Currently.....pregnant! Yay, I am due January 8th and plan on getting back to where I was when I got married last summer.

Believe It, Be It


Height: 5'10
Age: 25
Starting Weight: 225.6 (heaviest)



Things are now on hold....because I am pregnant!

pregnancy
Plan of Choice:
Low Fat, Weight Watchers
Workout Philosophy:
I'm a Running Fanatic

A newbie, but no so new

Blog to Lose here I come!

My body image has been distorted for many years. I have never been satisfied with the way I looked. Now, as I look back at pictures of me when I was in high school, it seems crazy to think that I felt so big.

However, this last July(08), I had a reason for feeling not so good. When I stepped on that Weight Watchers scale ,the numbers 225.6 were looking back at me. I felt sick. Especially knowing that 20 pounds of that I had gained in the last year.

I still have a ways to go - but now I feel like I can achieve it, I will achieve it!

For all of you out there working hard - give yourself a pat on the back.

Gone, but not forgotten!

Yes...I have been 'gone' but I have definitely been lurking. ;)

My weight loss goals have been put on hold. However, I have made a New Years' Resolution. Yup, I thought I was done with those....but I am pregnant! This is our first child so it is uncharted territory. I plan on getting back on the bandwagon in the new year after baby is born (January 8th). I know it is so easy to say....but I have done it - the weight loss - with weight watchers and that is exactly how I plan on doing it… Continue

Just truckin' along

As usual....just truckin' along doing my thing. Which at the moment is healthy eating but limited exercise. The weather is great and I have been wanting to go for a run...but I lack motivation at the moment.

I have not posted for a while....I have been lurking around, but find I don't have much to blog about in regards to weight loss and exercise.

A friend who joined me on the weight watcher's band wagon stopped over the other night....she brought me flowers. She hit her 50lb… Continue

Merry Migraine II

That was me last night. I was at my ultimate frisbee game with a pounding migraine...the florescent lights were not nice. I played the game and went home directly after the game.

Today I felt just find. Went into the school...got some work done. Came home and went for a run. The rest of the day is now mine! Going to make a healthy Asian inspired noodle bowl for supper and then watch the Oscars (or at least the important stuff) with my husband. Early to bed. The plan for tomorrow is to b… Continue

Merry Migraine

I am sure that is what my migraine is thinking. I on the other hand....not so much. My was suppose to be productive....it has ended up being a bust. Laying in bed most of the day. I am starting to feel better now though....hence I am blogging. I have frisbee tonight....exciting. We had a 5:45am practice on Friday - I am not a morning person by the way but it left me feeling refreshed and with extra time in the morning. I am going to try to get up a little earlier for work...I liked the extra tim… Continue

FantaStic!

I love pumpkin pie or anything flavoured with a cinnamon and nutmeg combination. Starbucks and I are on the outs because their Pumpkin Scone is not flattering for my butt...yes...we have decided not to see each other anymore.

SO my new fix - vanilla pudding (the 60 calorie cups) with pumpkin spice mixed in....fantastic! Love it!

I was also thinking....the chocolate cups would be great with a couple of pretzels crushed up....you'd have to eat it right away because no one like soggy pretzels....… Continue

Hi!!! How are things with you? Everything is just fine over here.

I forget to read my little ticker :~) I think I felt the baby this morning, but not sure.

Wait, aren't you moving??? You are talking abotu the new place, I guess.

Henry has a nursery (it is light green), but we ended up co-sleeping with him and putting his crib in our room so we only use it to store his clothes and change him... and a room downstairs turned into a nursery so that I did not have to go upstairs during the day when I was on maternity leave. Too funny. Once he gets a little older and shows us more of his personality we may further decorate his room (and fully move him in there). Just want to wait to see if he likes animals, sports, things with wheels, etc.

hope all is well!

Hi! I have sort of found my groove... but I keep stumbling cause there are some potholes and uneven pavement along the way?! :~)

We were dealing with colds/ear infections, stomach flu, and then Jim's grandma died (she was 93 and we expected it). But, all is well now. We had 75 degree weather this weekend. Made me so happy! We were outside a ton yesterday. Henry seemed to really like it.

I have been reading a couple of intuitive eating-like books, and lots of light bulbs are coming on. (When Food is Love and Nice Girls Finish Fat) Trying to work on my emotional eating instead of "dieting"--I think things are clicking, sort of. Lately I am noticing that I intentionally ignore my physical cues (thirst, hunger)--not sure why I do that?! I can't make myself break away from my desk, etc. to take care of my physical needs.

Anyway, I hear ya about teaching. I was a professor before my current job and during the school year, I could never find a good balance. It was SO hard. Felt like I would give and give, and by the time I had a moment to take care of my needs, I was depleted! Do you feel the same way?

Hi! Same here. I am around, but only posting to a couple of the Groups. Can't wait for Spring. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed!

All is well over here. Henry is a cutie!! Starting to be lots of fun. He is sitting on his own and eating some solid food. Playing lots, etc. oh, and sleeping through the night!!

Hi! Just checking in. Hope all is well!

oh, nice. It must have been fun to be away. We are going to Fl next month--St Pete/Tampa area--to visit my grandma. I am looking forward to some warm weather. We had a crazy couple of storms last week--dropped over 40 inches on us--everything pretty much shut down for 9 days?! It was nice to be off work, and have time with Henry! He is eating some solid foods now--mashed fruit and veggies. Crazy how fast they grow up?! No time to really catch your breath!!

Oh we are checking things out. I am thinking we will do a bassinet/play pen type deal....with a crib in the baby room. It is all so much fun! We have our ultrasound on Wednesday but are going to go the surprise route. ;)

I am doing pretty good. I am 18 weeks on Saturday. We have a wedding this weekend. I wish I was showing more (I am sure I won't feel this way once I am) because right now I just feel chunky. I am going shopping with a friend today and I think I am…
