A good week

Things have been beyond busy this past week. I set a goal of getting to the gym at least five times and I made it four. I'm the kind of person that can't form a three times a week habit. I either make it part of my daily grind or I don't do it at all. I don't know why that is, but it is. Having said that, I've discovered a love of the ellipitical machine. One hour burns about 600 calories and gives me time to just zone out and relax. I know it sounds weird that I could relax while working out,… Continue

We did it!

We went and picked up my totally gorgeous engagement ring last Friday. It is too beautiful for words, and really for pictures. I haven't been able to get a decent picture of it. Because it's colorless (D), it's white...as in really white. It's strange, I told Jeff that out in th… Continue

Lots to report!

So I've been gone for a while. I really didn't intend to be, but it just kind of worked out that way. Three weeks ago my car stalled while I was driving it. Twice. I took it to four different places, including the dealership and was told that there was nothing wrong with it. Really? 'Cause it just stopped working while i was using it! Anyhoo, best guess is that there was a loose battery connection that was tightened up one of the many times they checked the battery. Sigh. Next up (three… Continue

*THUD*

Did ya'll here that? That was the sound that an almost 33 year old Italian woman makes as she falls totally off the wagon! But I'm getting ahead of myself here. Two very important things happened this weekend: Alabama football made a stunning comeback as they totally whomped (and yes, that IS a word) on Clemson. And my cute little state found itself trapped squarely between two hurricanes. Are these excuses? Well, yeah. Kinda. Football is HUGE down here. It's like a religion. No one much car… Continue

A Birthday Wish

The last two days haven't been the best for me food wise. I'm not sure what the problem is, I can stay on track with little or no problem for five days out of seven- but it seems that the other two?? Not so much! In the last two days I've eaten 26 of my flex points for the week. This wouldn't be so bad were it not for the fact that I haven't worked out once. Not once. I've just not really been in the mood. I'm going to make a point of getting some serious exercise in this coming week. I… Continue

Hi Hun. We haven't heard much from you in the past few weeks. Just wanted to be sure that everything is fine. Hope you're well!

Hey there - I am so glad that you were able to relate to some things that I wrote. It is amazing how much power I felt this week doing what I need to do to lose weight. Rather than worrying about what I don't have and what others don't have to do...I focused on me and what I have to do. It is really helping. All the best this week...starting over is great. Don't give up!

I didn't have any trouble taking that weight back off after I got off Depo. That was the first time I went to WW and I was back to my normal weight in no time. Fast forward 3 more pregnancies and here I am :~P .

I hope you get back to losing soon! I know it's discouraging to be working hard and not see what you want to see!

Hey Andria. Getting ready to sign off for the weekend and then head to Florida next week. Have a great week on plan. You know it works when you work it, right?

I'll be sure to check in asap...

Thanks for the great tip. I'll have to think about that. When I talked to her today, she was really motivated. Hopefully my talk with her yesterday made a difference. She's lost about 50 pounds, so I'm sure your tip would have even more impact. It might even be a way to motivate ourselves when we get frustrated. It's easy to forget how far we've come.

Hey Andria thanks for the comment :O) That was very sweet of you! I am definitely feeling better today and hopefully just as good at 39, 49, and 59....

Thanks for the comment!

I'm actually looking into getting into the health/fitness world as a profession. The problem is I really don't want to go back to finish my Bachelor's (money, of course) and I'm not sure what other routes are available. Right now I'm considering taking an online course to become a health/wellness coach, but I'm going to see what kind of jobs I'll get with it first.

Hope all is well on your end! Do you homeschool through the summer too, or do you start back up again this fall?

Thanks for the encouragement. Even though the scale isn't moving, I think this is the first week in a long time (maybe ever) that I've been this stressed and NOT turned to food.

I'm in Mississippi, so I'm excited about our weather. I'm not creeped out because I've been too busy loving it even though it is pretty weird. I'm wishing for fall!
