A.M. weigh-in: 148.4
Yesterday I signed up for a 12 month membership to the gym right next to work. Not even a block away. They’re open 7 days a week, have showers, spinning and kickboxing classes, and long hours. I get two free sessions with a personal trainer. I’m totally psyched. So, did I jump out [...]

I couldn’t get the video to embed, but here are some pictures from my very first skydiving jump! It was AWESOME. Seriously like the greatest, most thrilling thing I have ever done. I loved every second of it, wasn’t nervous or scared a bit, and can not WAIT to go again!!
Me with my little sis, [...]

A.M. weigh in: 147.2 (yeah, yesterday wasn’t stellar)
Tomorrow is IT! The big jump! I am SO excited I can hardly focus here at work!! I’m taking the kids to see Monsters vs. Aliens tonite, so that should help give me something else to think about. I just love digital 3D animation. It’s da bomb (my [...]

My mini-makeover yesterday was AWESOME!! Total facial (though now I’m dealing with the residual acne, not my favorite part!) my skin is SO SOFT and hydrated!! I love it!! My eyebrows got debushified and now have a lovely shape and arch. And my hair - OMG 4 hours of work and it [...]

Thanks Katy for the water-intake check. I do drink tons… but it’s mostly Coke Zero. I do try to drink a few mugs of tea a day, but I miss some days. It’s probably caffeine overload. My neurologist would probably shoot me if he knew how much caffeine I consume - not good for someone [...]

A.M. Weigh-in: 149.2 (at least I’m back in the 140s)
I am wondering if PMS is really kicking my ass more than usual lately. The week plus before my period I seem to get totally crazy, lose focus, can’t concentrate and eat beyond out of control because I just plain do not care at all. My [...]

AM weigh-in: 151.6
Stayed on point yesterday… up until I discovered that the movie theater had FROZEN JUNIOR MINTS! Hell, that’s not even fair. I am powerless against those little chocolate covered mint pellets of goodness when they’re in their frozen state. POWERLESS. And they were awesome.
So overall, I ate well yesterday (the frozen JMs were [...]

I’m hoping that next week I can break through my low weight wall of 144.4 - that [...]
