Vacation.........from calorie counting AND work! :)

Two weeks ago, I hit my lowest weight since starting this adventure and I'm down a total of 24.4 pounds. We went on vacation all last week to Port Aransas and I did not take my scale to weigh in. I've gotten pretty good at knowing how to maintain and not have big fluctuation weeks, but I want to continue to see the scale going down. I was really looking forward to going to Fit 4 Life this week after my big 4.4 pound loss two weeks ago (I haven't been in two weeks b/c 1) the toddler was sick one… Continue

I am still alive...really

Wow..I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted. I just re-read my post from May 28th when I was still trying to reach my 20 pound goal. Well, I made it and actually hit 22 pounds but now I've stalled out and even gained 3-4 pounds. I'm not sure what all to attribute it to....several things are probably factors. I have been laxed in recording my food and caloried intake which probably means I'm eating more than my 1700 a day alottment. I also laxed some on my water intake, but thanks to… Continue

UGH! 0.4 away from 20........

I'm frustrated with myself. I haven't been journaling my food and I can tell a difference plus I haven't been eating as well. I need to get my butt back on track and in great. I KNOW I CAN DO THIS! I'm 0.4 pounds away from hitting 20 pounds. I did meet my short term 10 pound goal this week so that's a positive. I started a new goal of 29 pounds.....when that's met I will finally be under 200. I cannot express how much that will mean and how long I've waited for that!

So close, yet so far

This week has been a good week. I lost another 1.2 pounds which brings my total to 18.8 pounds! I am so close to my 20 pound mark, yet I feel so far! :) My clothes are fitting great, some are even too big now and I either need to get some new ones, or get them altered. I wore some capri pants this past weekend that I haven't been able to wear in 3 years...they are a size 16. I know that it still big, but when you've been a solid 20 for the last 3-4 years, to be able to wear a 16 is great! My goa… Continue

New Cookbook

Today at lunch I bought the Biggest Loser Cookbook. I need some new ideas for meals. I sat down at Barnes and Noble and looked through it. I saw a lot of recipes that looked really good!

Has anyone else out there used this cookbook? Would be interested in hearing your opinions on it.

Just wanted to add (because I do love the books) that I freeze many of the recipies (e.g., poppy seed muffins, sausage meat, meatballs) and pull them out when I want. I label them in bags and freeze them in individual portions. Very convenient.

Don't beat yourself up about it...I think I am the worlds worst about binging! But I have also become a pro at getting back up the next day and going right back to my healthy habits and my binging episodes have become less and less. Just think.....y…

Profile Information

About Me:
I am a 33 year old mother of an almost 11 year old daughter and an almost 3 year old son. What was I thinking?!?!? Oh yeah...I also have a 35 year old husbad/child. LOL

I was never overweight as a child, teenager or even young adult. I had my daughter when I was 22 and I gained 65 pounds with her and never lost it PLUS I've gained at least 40 more since then. I had my son when I was 30 and gained only minimal weight with him since I was already overweight. My goal is to get back to my weight before kids. I know the older I get, the harder it will be. I hate to hear the doctor tell me that I am obese....that word just makes my skin crawl and also makes me very sad. How did I get this way? Why can't I lose the weight?

This blog is my story on my weight loss adventures. I know that this time I will be successful. I'm off to a great start and have some great inspirations...you know who you are! *wink wink*
Plan of Choice:
Low Fat, Weight Watchers, Other
Workout Philosophy:
I'm a walk-a-holic
