Profile Information

About Me:
I started my journey in early 2009. My start weight was 256 lbs. I try to eat whole foods whenever possible and try to stay away from artificial sweeteners and processed foods. I've been eating healthy for over a year and now I'm starting to exercise because I WANT to, not because I HAVE to. I enjoy biking and just started yoga (which I LOVE). I am learning to love me.
Workout Philosophy:
I'm new to exercise

Weight, Goals, and Progress

Let's see. I've been away for a while so here is a goal re-vamp.

1. Don't stress about the number, BE HEALTHY
2. Move more, do stuff that is fun so it doesn't feel like work
3. Don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day, just have a better day tomorrow!
4. NO HFCS, NO TRANS FAT, NO ARTIFICIAL ANYTHING
5. LOVE YOURSELF MORE, YOU DESERVE IT

Positive Role Model - Mad Men Style

Hi everyone! I would normally never ever do this, but since one of the topics often talked about hand in hand with losing weight is having positive role models that aren't a size 00, I thought you guys wouldn't mind.

My friend Heide is a tall, beautiful woman of average weight. She is comfortable with exactly who she is, even if it doesn't follow what quote-unquote normal is. She has helped me realize, over the past three years of our friendship, that its ok if I don't want to be socie… Continue

My new favorite light meal

I'm sitting here enjoying my breakfast and I thought, hmm maybe I should share this since it is so good.

Avocado, Cream Cheese & Tomato on Toast
I mash 2oz of softened cream cheese (you could use light if you want) with 1 whole avocado and mix it until it is smooth-ish (I don't care if it is a little lumpy but if you do you could use a… Continue

Just a little bit further....

I decided on my way home that I was going biking. I got home, ate a banana, changed and went out the door. I was going to bike just down to the bay and then back around to the house. Then I thought, well, I should at least do what I did on Saturday. So then I did what I did on Saturday, which is a figure 8 around the two blocks next to my street. Then I was thinking 'ok that's enough' and as I was coming up to the house (don't think I'm crazy), Jillian Michaels' voice said 'so you're just going… Continue

Eat, Pray, Love - Have you read this yet?

A friend let me borrow the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and it has become one of my top ten books of all time. This book made me take a good look at myself and realize that I do not treat myself well. Yes, I've been eating well for over a year, but I haven't really seen any significant change in my weight (up or down). I've come to the conclusion that this is because I am not addressing all the issu… Continue

Need to exercise...

So I just finished watching the latest Biggest Loser episode that I had DVR'd. Seriously, that show is so motivating. I was just in awe when they were all pulling those tractor trailers. It was amazing. A lot of the people on the show this week were talking about how old they are and how long they've been overweight and it really made me think.

I've been overweight since I was about 16. I am now 28, soon to be 29. I spent my ENTIRE 20s overweight. A whole decade! Almost half my life so… Continue

I'm doing good, hun! No morning sickness really since the one day - so I'm happy about that =)

How is everything with you??

Thank you so much for the comment on my blog Renee! Good idea on asking my OBGYN. I'm so new at this that it's hard to know where to turn! lol. I have my 10 week check up in a a few weeks and I'll check in on that =)

How's everything going with you? Back on track? I'm pulling for you, girl. Now that I can't make my goal date, you're my only hope!! haha love you lots

Hello dear =)

I know your busy with family stuff, I just wanted to stop by and send you my love and support today. How's that water-drinking going? I've been doing okay on my mini-goal of exercising more this week, although there's always room for improvements.

Talk to you soon, Renee!
At 9:59am on September 8, 2009, EmilyRose said…
Sounds like you've got a great plan, girl! Starting with the basics will definitely make you succeed! Go get one of those huge Nalgene water bottles, that's what I have! Then i just guzzle away all day =) Oh, and something I just started re-doing; giving myself a smaller plate to eat from then our dinner plates. Works every time! You can only fill it so much, lol.

My goal this week is to get back into the exercising groove. I ran last night (sensor didn't work again, so I'm getting one rushed to me) and starting that challenge I talked about in my blog today. I'm hoping to run at least three times this week, wish me luck!!

I think we should do this every week, give each other our "mini goals" and check back to see if we've followed through on them. I need the fear of someone kicking my butt every now and then, haha. Hope you have a great week, Renee!!
At 12:07pm on September 7, 2009, EmilyRose said…
thanks for the encouragement Renee!! =) We definitely need to keep better tabs on each other. Let's keep up this blogging!!!!

What do you have planned for the week?

Thanks for your comment- I'm drinking as much caffiene as ever... unfortunately. I'm forever trying to quit... apparently it's a slow process for me. Good thought, I will have to try and notice if that affects my lightheadedness!

My Mom is the biggest culprit of the 'it's ok to cheat sometimes' or 'sometimes you have to shock your body so you keep losing' mentality. I find it very easy to say something like this (instead of just no) 'thanks, but I don't eat HFCS anymore' or…

Congratulations! Good job pushing yourself just that little bit extra! It does feel good to finish a workout and feel it and know the positive steps you're making for yourself.

I just found this group (somehow I've missed it for the past year??). I haven't had fast food since....... um..... sometime in 2009 but I'm not sure exactly when.

Down with Fast Food
Fast food may be quick and easy, but it is likely one of the reasons many of us need to lose weight. This group is for those of us who want to be able to just say "no" to regular fast-food runs.

Tea is one of my all time favorite "snacks". Bigelow makes a decaf French Vanilla tea that I put a scant tsp of sugar in (for a 12oz mug, I like big mugs) and some 1% milk. It satisfies the sweet, creamy craving (read: ice cream) for me for WAY fewe…
