Why are there no Tuesday songs?

Weight: 154.6
Skye woke up every four hours last night, that’s when her pain meds would wear off. Being woken up by a sobbing 5 year old several times does not make for a restful night’s sleep. Difference is, she gets to stay home and nap all day. I have to go to work. UGH. At [...]

Boot Camp - day 24

I’m getting ready to head out on my run this morning. Just 3 miles… it feels weird saying just to that. But three miles has become my default run. I think that bumps up to 4 miles on my small run days next month. And by November, I’ll be running 6 miles on my regular [...]

How Un-Egg-Spected!

Weigh-in: 165.2 (down almost a pound, how awesome is THAT?!)
So, it seems that eating a ginormous omelet is the key to weightloss! Ok, so there’s a bit more to it than that! Like the fact that I divided up that omelet and ate it thoughout the day. So the fact that there were a days [...]

TGIF

I need to seriously give up the juice fast notion. I ended up eating four turkey burger patties last night. FOUR! Just the patty, no bun or condiments. But still, I did not sleep well last night. So, that totally nullified the whole POINT of the juice fast. Ah well. Life goes on.
While I was [...]

The ying and yang of dieting

I did it. And more importantly, I didn’t do it!!
I DID go to the gym today. I realized today why I fight going. While I like working out on the equipment, I’m EXTREMELY self-conscious. Everyone at my gym is fit, we are talking toned arms and 6-pack abs. I’m not exaggerating. I feel like a [...]

I’ve heard that one before!

So, it’s Monday. Time to start AGAIN. Actually, I would have done pretty good yesterday except for the frozen Junior Mints at the movies. Hey, they were FROZEN. That’s like totally my kryptonite. Can. Not. Resist.
The protein bars are gone (I ate the last box one day last week. Yep, you read that right. [...]

I got kicked off the cheerleading team for being too flexible

A.M. weigh-in: 158.2 (and that’s a good thing?!! how sad, so very sad!!)
I did 45 minutes on the treadmill at the gym last night. I also went over some of the leg weight machines with my trainer there and booked an hour appointment for next week. Because…
I do NOT have torn cartilage in my knees!! [...]

Mother’s Day Aftermath

A.M. weigh-in: 157.4
Had a great day with my mom and sis yesterday. And then last evening with the kids. I blogged about it with pictures HERE. If you want to skip straight to my review of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, click HERE.
Today is my day to get things finished up at work. Tomorrow I have [...]

Tweaks and upping the ante

A.M. weigh-in: 151.0 (I can literally see the 140s just around the corner!)
Lately I’ve been eating 2-3 meals a day with a snack. Or I’ve been eating Weight Watcher 1 point mini bars ALL DAY (I think I ate 10 of them yesterday!) This is not effective for me, even if the daily total points [...]

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… [...]
