I haven't written a weigh-in post in months! Probably because it's been insanely busy with the holidays and birthdays coming and going. Or maybe I'm using that as an excuse for the fact that getting in shape has been definitely put on the back burner and trying to stick to a diet is virtually impossible during the holidays. My goal was to hit my pre-pregnancy weight by my baby's first birthday. Well it's kinda sucky that my baby turned … [Read more...]
Hey guess what I learned this year? Losing weight is HARD. Especially when you get older and you have little kids. Sigh...it's a continual battle. But I haven't done a weigh-in post in awhile and I have pretty good news! Starting Weight: 156 Current Weight: 137 Yay! I'm almost there! Well I guess I'm not that close to my dream weight but at this point I'm not so focused on the actual number on the scale as I am with … [Read more...]
I think it's about time for a Weigh-In Wednesday post, don't you? I am very proud of myself this week. I have stuck to my WW points every single day for a week! Okay, so maybe it's not a huge accomplishment but given that this year has been CRAZY, sticking to a diet for one single week with NO slips is a major milestone for me. I don't really know my exact weight because our scale is currently, um, dead. So I will have to do an official … [Read more...]
It's been awhile since I've done a Weigh-in post. A month, I think. And what a month it's been. So here are my stats: Starting weight: 156 Current weight: 147 Amount Lost: 9 pounds! So 9 pounds isn't super impressive for a period of um, five months. But in those five months I have gone on three trips out of state, dealt with two deaths, my husband took his boards and licensing exams, packed up our apartment, and in … [Read more...]
Real weight loss is about making lifestyle changes that last forever. Click for Source I think that is ultimately the hardest part of it--the FOREVER part. I long for a day when I can sit around and eat lots of cookies, chocolate cake, and buttery popcorn. And as gross as it sounds, I'd like to do that every night. See, as a mom of three, every evening I am just exhausted. And nothing sounds more appealing that to just RELAX and … [Read more...]
Okay so SNAP is over and I'm caught up on orders and after Thursday I won't even have preschool to worry about. Whew! The busy-ness can take a break for a while. And that means that I CAN get back on track with my diet. Starting with eating all the junk food that is in my house (cuz you know, it's gotta get out the way.) But starting today, I am going to start fresh. And the best way to start fresh is to have a green smoothie every … [Read more...]
It never fails to happen. In the Battle of the Bulge, right as you are finally making headway with your weight loss strategy, SOMETHING happens to screw it up. In my case, it was a whirlwind trip to California for the funeral. I mean seriously, how could I NOT eat funeral potatoes at a funeral? When I got back, I started up again and managed to get back down to 150 again after a few days. But then Easter happened. Come … [Read more...]
Do you know Skinny Taste? A huge THANKS to whoever recommended this site to me and second of all, HOW did I not know about this 128k+ readership site?? I feel sheepish. I have only spent a short time on there so far, but I think many hours will be spent on this site. The author, Gina, shares her recipes which she has 'skinni-fied' to be healthier. The greatest part is that for each recipe, she shares the WW points (old and points … [Read more...]
