Temptation

Hi my peeps! I pondered today after a text conversation with my sister M, what things stand in your way from losing it? The big IT of course is your weight!I know for me I have a few things that make me lose sight of the big picture. One of these things happens to all of us ladies once a month. She sucks and for some reason makes me crave everything I'm not supposed to have! Today I felt like I could have killed for something salty and deep fried,...

Sunday Post

I need more creative titles for my blogging! Since the last time I blogged, I've been successful. I know where you were thinking when you hadn't heard from me "She's fallen off the wagon!" but nope. I just am not a dedicated blogger yet. I keep thinking of things to write about and believe me weight loss is a vast topic when you think about it. I mean it's a billion dollar market so there are plenty of things related to the struggle, but finding...

Goal days are for chumps

Not really, but I was super annoyed when I hopped on the scale tonight and it said I gained a pound since Sunday. Seriously? Does my body know how awesome I've been doing? But that's it, right there. It does and it will pay me back. I've kicked it's ass for 27 years, it will take some getting used to. I avoided both pizza and cake at work today, not just cake but 3 cakes and cupcakes! I am still not at strict as I need to be and I have had nothing...

Tomorrow is my first goal day

I set a little goal for myself of 5 lbs for tomorrow which will be the end of week one. I know I came close since I weighed myself yesterday and was down 4 pounds. This weekend was good, I had some work friends over to play the Kinect and do some Dance Central 2 which is always a great workout! Me and the soon to be hubs went to the grocery store today and purchased a lot of healthy foods. A good portion that was not so healthy also since Chris has...

Down 2.4 and still going!

I know it was premature of me to weigh myself tonight and the scale was probably inaccurate as it said I have already lost 2.4 pounds in the 3 days I've changed my eating habits but I'll take it! We still haven't hooked up our Kinect yet and really the basement once finished will be the best spot for all my dance central action, but until then my exercise has been lacking. I looked into ZUMBA classes nearby and am thinking about doing that once...

Today was a success!

As first days go, it was a success! I had a salad with iceberg lettuce (not my favorite) with some pre-cooked chicken cubes, a dash of mozzarella cheese, ceasar vinaigrette dressing and some carrots. I didn't have much in my fridge, but I made it work in the famous words from Tim Gunn himself. Me and my better half went to the grocery store to pick up some random items and I bought some boneless skinless chicken breasts that I cooked up on the George Foreman (with removable plates, the only way to have a George Foreman! IMHO) that I gently spiced...

Here Goes Nothing!

When you have so much to lose, it can feel overwhelming at times. I hope I can remind myself that it is achievable in small baby steps! Just do it 10 pounds at a time. So my first goal is 10 pounds before Friday January 27th. That's plenty of time! And if I do accomplish this goal, I need to set rewards for myself. Maybe a new shirt? Or a trip to the salon? Whatever it is, I'll let you in on ...
