Sorry to disappoint

I just finished 60 minutes on the elliptical and I hit the gym earlier today. So BOOYAH! Oh, and seriously all healthy food. Oatmeal for brekkie, big ole salad for lunch and I’m having two lean turkey burger patties and a bag of steamed snow pea pods for din-din! No snacking of any kind. CIRCLE [...]

It’s past lights out!

I was supposed to have lights out 42 minutes ago so this is super quick.
A.M. weigh-in: 163.6
Today was a non-run day, so 50 minutes on the elliptical. Quads are sore but otherwise good. Tomorrow is a 2 miler. Just a half-mile further. Then Thurday it bumps up to 3 miles and by the weekend it’s [...]

I am here

A.M. weigh in: 165.6
I’m feeling better, my mojo may be back. I’m tentative about stating that, hoping not to jinx myself. But for the past few days I’ve felt more my old self again. Like something “clicked” in my brain. I’m trying not to over-analyze it right now, don’t want to risk clicking it back [...]

Oh the sun will come out… TODAY!

And then go away again for who knows how long. But at least we have sun today. I’ve missed it! I swear I have that seasonal depression thing - I just can’t handle the grey skies for too long. Makes me want to curl up in bed, read and eat warm comfort food… or cookies… [...]

Six Ways to Sunday

It could have been a difficult two days. Two family parties involving TONS of food over the past two days. I ate 37 points worth of food yesterday and that just blows me away because I was VERY careful and ate small portions. Of course, I went to the movies last night and had some [...]

Hot and Cold

Currently rockin’ out to the Katy Perry tune, which is my fave song right now. But it also describes how I seem to be running these days.
I got home last night and somehow conned myself into getting on the elliptical even though I had sworn to myself earlier that I would NOT work out because [...]

Saturday Schmatterday

After having a couple of days off work (for the first time since JUNE!) returning today really sucked. The day itself went well, I just have zero motivation to be here. I want to go home and hang out in my jammies and play boardgames with my kids. Watch cheesy movies. Do very very little. [...]

Shopping my ass off

I spent today hanging out with my sister. No kids, no Mom, just two sisters hanging out at the mall. We haven’t done that… ever. Well, I used to take her to the mall when I was in high school… and she was in a stroller. There’s a 14 year age difference. She was in [...]

The start of a new year

I had a box of Red Vines at the movies, a Chicken Fajita Pita from Jack in the Box for lunch, half a small bag of Cheetos as a snack. Not a great day food wise and yet, it was. See, one of my goals for this year is to let go of the guilt [...]
