Countdown - Day 30

Weight: 161.0 (hmm… NICE!)
So the no white flour/sugar thing is going swimmingly. Of course, I haven’t been accosted by any gingerbread cookies or pie yet. But I’m all kindsa optomistic. ‘Tis the season!
Did my 45 on the elliptical this morning. Yay me! And The Source was totally vanquished. Double Yay! (I watched Charmed on DVD [...]

Countdown - Day 31

Weight: 162.8 (would be nice if I could keep up that pace! I knew yesterday was a bit of an artificial high though.)
I did my run today. Even though it sucked. And I hated it. Which is weird, cause I really love running. Well, you can read more about that HERE.
Eating all that fiber and [...]

Countdown - Day 32

(Guess which one I most closely resemble after my T-Day food love fest!)
Weight: 165.2 (OUCH!)
Sooooo - here’s the deal. I haven’t been exercising and eating has been in the crapper. Lovely, I know.
Last Saturday I realized I’d hit DO OR DIE Day. I hadn’t run in over a month. I hadn’t been on the elliptical [...]

Counting Down - day 51

Weight: 157.2
It’s amazing what eating right and a little regular exercise can do! It shouldn’t be, but it always is. I feel back to me again. Healthy, light, more alive. I’m refocused and back on track. Just in time.
I’m so glad that I decided to do this now, as we enter holiday/food season. I intend [...]

Conspiracy Theory

Weight: 160.4
Monday and TOM have joined forces to add invisible pounds to the scale. I have nothing that could account for a two pound gain in two days. (They probably shot JFK too!)
I was totally going to get up and do my 45 on the elliptical this morning. The alarm went off and I hit [...]

Scare-off Challenge - day ???

Weight: 159.2
I think I should retitle this Pile-it-on Challenge!!
Exercise - nile
Food - ehhhhh… not great.
Challenge - we don’t need no stinkin’ challenge!
Ugh! I’d be frustrated with myself, if I had the time! Yikes!! At least I haven’t hit the 160s yet… of course, that could all change the minute I step on the scale tomorrow. [...]

Scare-off Challenge - day 13

Weight: too much pork and apple stew last night!
Sorry, everyone. I’ve been a bit MIA around here. I have a lot going on at home and I’ve not been able to spend any time blog reading. As it is, I’m barely eeking out a few minutes to post here. I’m hoping after this week things [...]

Scare-off Challenge - day 6

Weight: yeah, uh, let’s not go there. K, thanks!
Who suggested the low fat crackers and laughing cow cheese?!!! I’m guessing you didn’t mean for me to eat the whole box and entire wheel in one sitting, correct?! Next time, specify that please!!
PMS - I blame it for all the worlds’ ills… and my own. Cramps [...]

Scare-off Challenge - day 5

Weight: 158.2
What happened to day 4? Eh, we don’t need no stinkin’ day 4!!!
Yesterday was good back on track, mostly. My mom brought one of those Costco size boxes of Wheat Thins into her office. That stuff is like crack! Everytime I walked into her office, I grabbed a handful without even realizing it. It [...]

Scare-off Challenge - day 3

Before everything else: If you have the chance to go see Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D, GO!! It was so excellent. I forget how incredibly clever and funny those movies are!!! Over 3 hours (with a 10 minute intermission that’s almost too entertaining to miss!!) wasn’t too long at all. My two youngest [...]
