I haven't blogged in a month. I have nobody to blame but myself. I've been doing fairly well with WW over the summer, and have been doing better at working out. My life has gotten crazier. I was on a business trip in Washington D.C. last week, and I'm leaving for Boise, Idaho on Tuesday, July 29th for a vacation. The funny thing is, when I was in D.C., it was difficult, er...impossible, to stay OP when there were absolutely no healthy food options within a convenient distance from my hotel. So,… Continue

Well, I'm officially done with my B.S. degree in Business!! Hallelujah! I'm almost 32 and I'm finally graduating. Better late than never, eh? Since that monkey is now off my back, I can focus more on fitness and getting back into shape. That's a great feeling. I did very well overall this past week. I had a couple burgers yesterday, but nothing too out of whack, so that's encouraging. I think I can handle mini-slip-ups as long as I'm viewing this as a lifestyle change. It's not that I want to ch… Continue

Monday evening was weigh-in and I lost 5 lbs!! I was so excited just to simply see the scale going down instead of up. That was a huge moment for me. What made it even more special was the fact that I lost 5 lbs. in spite of having a couple small homemade cheeseburgers on Saturday night with all the junk food that was around. This definitely gives me confidence going into my 2nd week. Last night, I was able to make the time to go work out. I ran on the treadmill (and walked) for a total of 45 mi… Continue

OK, my blog title was a wee bit on the cheesy side. Oh well. :-) We like cheese every now & again, don't we? On Friday, I shared how I usually struggle staying OP when we go to the in-laws for the weekend. Well, this weekend I actually conquered. It was very satisfying being able to come out on top instead of beating myself up on Mondays due to a lack of self-control from the weekend. Not this time! Friday night was easy as we were at a dance recital most of the night. Saturday, I grilled h… Continue

I haven't blogged in a few days simply because, I've had no extra time. This week seems to have gone by somewhat fast. I'm thankful for that. Overall, it's been a great week. Ever since officially joining WW on Monday, I've had a great week staying OP and staying motivated. I even went for a 40-minute walk last night when I should've been studying. Oh well. Sometimes you just have to make the time to exercise, even if it is just a little bit. Please keep me in your thoughts & prayers this we… Continue
