I have been sticking to the workouts and making my best attempt to get back on weight watchers. I have been in such a funk lately and the exercise has started to help that. I live in MS and it has been so hot that my toddler and I have been in the house pretty much constantly. I get major cabin fever when we do this and it does not help my mood any. I am happy that we only really have the rest of this month of bad temps and then it will get better. I am ready for fall. We are going to Florida fo… Continue

4 pounds overnight. We went to dinner last night before the zoo. I am sure some of it is water retention. I should not have stepped on the scale this morning after just being on it yesterday. I am not going to get back on the scale until my weigh in next Sat. Have no fear though I am back on track. I am going to kick some serious exercise booty this week. I knew this was going to happen if I did not get back into a workout routine. So I should not be surprised. Well, off to drink a huge glass o… Continue

how to get motivated to work out and eat right. Gain 2.5 pounds. I know that sounds stupid. I lost 18 then hit a wall.

We are also going to walk around the zoo fo… Continue

get my butt motivated? I think it has a lot to do with the heat. I know that sounds stupid but it is making me miserable. I live in Mississippi and it is like 500 degrees lately. Ok, really like 92 with heat index of 100 but still. I recently had to cancel my membership at the YMCA because my son was going to the nursery while I worked out and he was staying sick. I was not willing to spend my evenings going to the gym while my husband watched my son. My husband is in school for his masters so h… Continue

I am going to walk a 5k this evening with some ladies from the church where I go to MOPS and my son goes to parents day out a couple day a week. One of the moms has a daughter who is 4 and was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. We are walking as a team called Katelyn's Angels. I am taking the toddler because my husband is going to be at school. I am looking forward to it. I love doing these walks. I do the breast cancer one every year and from time to time have done a few others. I am actua… Continue
